Post-college, I worked in telecommunications for two years. I then worked in the banking industry for two years doing foreign exchange stuff. After that, I worked in the publishing industry with a side-order of online recruitment. Then I took some time off to hack , and now I'm back working for the banking industry, this time in the credit card end of things. I've also done stints for an ISP, a home appliance maker, and a bookshop .
Diversity is the best defence against the future.
I'm much better at finding and fixing bugs than most of the other stuff I do. I also have the classic hacker aptitude for storing millions of little bits of dissimilar and unassociated data for later recall when someone asks me the startup parameters for program X or which part of what routine just produced that error message. Or stupid trivia. Or film quotes . Take it from the top.
