What is your dream job?
-
Something outdoors, fresh air great views. Miles away from computers Where critical means more than our shareholders will only be able to afford 2 bottles of champagne for new year if this doesn't work. Where people say what they mean rather than blathering on in some pointless newspeak. When people say they made a "life or death" decision they don't mean whether to have the red or white with lunch and you trust the people you're with to choose the right way. In fact almost anywhere that's away from the pointless hell of corporate life.

I want a job that 0) Regularly challenges me 1) Provides reasonable monetary compensation 2) Provides the opportunity to work from home 3) Provides decent hardware to work on (fast CPU, 8GB RAM, dual 22-inch monitors) 4) Isn't shy about buying the dev tools or code libraries needed to do the job (in a timely fashion) 5) Allows me to be an admin on my computer 6) Doesn't bog me down with frequent (and often pointless) meetings 7) Doesn't require me to be a politician 8) That I can spend enough time at not to be "the new guy".

"The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J. Jystad, 2001You should try some smaller places, I find they are usually much more flexible and because of the lower number of people you have to multi-role more. Of course you have to spot the difference between small and good and small and crap/cheap in the interview. My job with a company of 8 people: 0) I work on various projects with a range of different technologies so there’s always something new to learn or fix. 1) I'm getting a city salary in a medium sized town, so that’s pretty good. 2) Not sure if I could work from home. I have RDP setup and can remotely work so there are no technical barriers, but I've never asked since I like the office environment and find it more conducive to working. 3) I have a Quad Core 2, 8gb RAM, 24" primary, 22" secondary and win 2k8 (upgrading to 2k8r2 as soon as my new gfx card arrives). 4) See above about keeping up with the latest OSs. As well as that we get the latest versions of VS, any dev tools we ask for (although we don’t ask for many) and currently were trying a few of the smaller projects on vs 2010. 5) I'm an admin on the domain :) I can go and mess with the network if I need to, not that I need to often. 6) We rarely have meetings, we have informal talks a bit more often but we're in one big room so we just spin around on our chairs. 7) Almost no politics. The dev team is shielded from the sales and managers so our CTO takes all the crap and we get the ability to just get on with the job. 8) I went past the new guy stage a month ago ^_^ after being here for 5 months :)

Trophy/House Husband. Cook, clean, work out and look good on the wife's arm for social functions. In spare time I could play video games, do some art and fix things around the house. I did darn well at it too until I found this job. We can't afford to only have 1 real income. :(

I haven't checked, but after I finish the fronts, you can assist with the backs.
