--- Quote from: Darryl McKoy on September 02, 2017, 06:41:35 PM ---I'm a banking brown townyst --- End quote --- I also work in the financial sector, but as a software developer for a company that provides a core system for credit unions to run. As far as fulfillment goes, I don't go home with a warm fuzzy feeling that I've changed a life today. However, the work is interesting and it does really feel like I'm doing something important, even if it is something as simple as adding a field to the database to support federal compliance measures or configuring connections to the credit card network so that people can access their money after their financial institution converts to our system. Stress is relatively high, but I work well in high stress environments. If it's due tomorrow, I'm definitely gonna work on it today. If it's due next week... ehhh.. it can wait until the day before it's due. But being understaffed is just part about working for a company that's growing really quickly, and I'm glad that I joined when I did. As far as pay goes, I'm a "Developer II" and my pay is in line with national average, so I'll let you do that research if you really care. Regarding our company culture, I couldn't ask for a better place to work. We act like a real business (unlike Google which is more like day care for ultra-smart adults) but we're also a family. So, do I like my job? Yeah, I do. I guess I'm pretty lucky that my first job out of highschool w/o a college degree ended up being what it is. |

I work front desk at a hotel which can be described as "get shat on by randos off the street" simulator, but it pays $10/hr which is more than I've ever made as a student so its ok.. gotta get that freakin degree though!! --- Quote from: otto-san on September 02, 2017, 09:38:59 PM ---im a full time ideot and i'm forgetin Loving every second --- End quote --- sounds Dope |

Due to unforeseen circumstances it's taken longer than I'd have liked to get the job I want, but slow going or not I've done enough of it to know I'm quite fond of the work when it comes to plumbing. It pays quite alright and it's fulfilling work, so it's all a man could hope for. |

Nope! I did a lotta shadowing of a few plumbers to get an idea of what the job was like while I had sent my resume in with the company. I've just been waiting to be hired for quite awhile now because of some unknown factors out of my hands. Shouldn't take too much longer now I was assured, I think it has something to do with the company being bought out and some sorta management shift, dunno In the meantime I'm making tiny bux off of freelance work edit: if they keep jerking my chain around tho I'm prolly just gonna apply at an HVAC place. Not as good pay but getting certified in a trade means I can work practically anywhere. |
