> My team is only 2 people and we don't work together on much of anything. I find this other person difficult to talk to. This may be a bigger part of the problem than you realise. It's incredible how much working with the right people helps. Consider working for a company that can offer you a slightly bigger team. Then at least you can choose who to have lunch with, or even choose who you get to work with. I'm a mostly-Python programmer too. One thing I like is that we work on a large-scale long-term product (as opposed to numerous short-term client projects.) If you're doing the same thing over and over for different clients you may get sick of it. (YMMV, I hear some people love starting from scratch every 3 months!) > I don't know if I'm an A-level programmer that could get a job somewhere else. Do some interviews and find out? Job markets for programmers who are good at picking things up are still pretty wide, especially if you have the flexibility to move. Especially if you know some slightly-niche technologies you're probably more in demand than you know. Come to NZ and work for us :)
