Your Job Title

I was a lead software developer once... until someone ask the team size ( 1 ) ..... I was the only one on project for a year and then I have to train 2 more developers so that I can handover project to them so I can really go and work with a team...

Cool, I work for a market maker but we don't use third party trading software at all.

My job title is Director of IT. I was hired as a programmer, 3 months later the director quit, somebody ahd to keep the ship afloat(small it department for good sized company) 3 months after that they made it official that I was the permanent replacement. If it falls under IT in the remotest way, its my job and my problem, dealing with external website vendors, writing internal code, managing the network, servers, databases, virus cleanup, and the list goes on. I manage the entire IT department( which is just me, no help). Underpaid and overworked big time, but you know what? I enjoy the challenge, and considering I am only less than two years out of school and in this field, I'm pretty darn proud of myself and the Job I manage to do.( my network spans multiple states and countries.). There are days I look in the mirror and think "what the elephant did I get myself into?". I mainly wish I had time to write more code and less time fixing user stupidity, and dealing with idiot vendors that just cannot seem to understand I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND 100,000 on your crappy software when I have a solution in place that functions perfectly well.

Common sense is not a gift it's a curse. Those of us who have it have to deal with those that don't.... Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

Last place I worked the IT Director was a director (and part owner) of the company. It got sold off, he made millions and rode of into the sunset in his brand new Maserati. They promoted from within, but gave the new bloke the job title 'Head of IT'. A few weeks later someone put out a press release to the trade proclaiming him 'Director of IT', so they had to give him that job title instead.

Interesting, the website says there are offices in Pakistan and Sweden, but the phone number is 312-725-xxxx, which is the Chicago Loop. Are there offices in Chicago? (I'm guessing maybe just sales).

I am the CEO, General Manager, Engineering Manager, Junior Engineer and Janitor for both Interamerican Petroleum Consultants and Comport Computing. Both company profiles are similar: Do whatever clients will pay for, then decide whether it fits more into engineering or software so I know which letterhead to use on invoices. My job is to do whatever needs to be done. I'd say the buck stops here, but actually my job is to get the buck started in the door. The buck stops (for practical purposes) when my wife spends it.

Wow nice to see someone finding what we do interesting & actually visiting our website. Thanks for the interest mate :) And yeah, as the website says, we have our offices here in Pakistan as well as a team in Sweden. But as most of our clients come from the Americas so we have this US based phone number which is forwarded to us here.

Thanks & Best Regards, Umer Aziz Malik Senior Strategy Developer Aurora Solutions (Pvt) Ltd.

This is actual one of the few positions that excites me, but most places around here expect a Masters in computational finance to even get an interview (which I may go for after Miss Wiz's career takes off). Do you guys offer telecommuting?
