What do we do for jobs?

I hate you. I wanna work from home.



SDET (Software tester) @ Microsoft.

No, I do not work on Windows.

I've seen the MS Campus, at least the facilities for the Office Team, and it's VERY far from a bad working environment... and enough people around in slippers that you would think you were home...

Me, I'm a Help Desk Supervisor... for a staff of 2 full time and 2 interns, the 5 of us support 250+ users in 8 countries and help maintain a network that spans all our locations. "Help Desk Supervisor" is a lot like calling "Superman" a good samaritan.

I'm working in support for the worlds leading management strategist company.

I dropped out of university after two years, was studying Computer Systems and Networking. It was shit. I'm hoping to get more into network design/management after my CCNA.

I'm a student from Sweden. I get 100$ every month and still live with my parents
So yeah, multiboxing is pretty expensive (altough I'm still on my first free month).

Currently studying to become a Gamedesigner/programmer.

[Grelius]

Been a web developer since graduating (PHP, ASP), now doing all C# development... do a bit more than just web development these days, but we'll see what my manager thinks about that next review time :P.

Guessing some of the higher end ones (attorney, consultant, etc) make low to mid 6 figures.

High 5, low 6 is certainly possible for some higher end "IT" jobs.

Edit: "Programmer" likely (sadly?) does not fall into the above categories. Hard to compete with overseas talent that works for 1/10th of the salary.

Depends, its pretty much a myth, as the quality of hte code is HORRENDOUS.

Mostly we use outsourced work for porting, executing test cases, manual testing, etc.

[Suvega]

I'm a program manager at Microsoft.

And yes, I work on Windows
