Just apply to a big company. Any big company should do, but to be on the safe side, apply to an IT job where the employer is not a "tech company."
Government and university jobs are boring too!
- WarOnPrivacy 2y ago> apply to an IT job where the employer is not a "tech company." Seriously. Yes. This. Being an IT guy for Med/Auto/Pharma/Law/etc, I wasn't fodder for management. Even in more techy industries (GeoThermal, web retailer) everyone was nice to the IT guy.
- hutattedonmyarm 2y agoCan confirm. I started working in IT for the university in town and it's boring (in a good way)
- pknomad 2y agoSeconded on gov. I work for an R&D company associated with DoE. I don't work more than 40 hours a week and occasionally as few as 20 hours a week. Every now and then I get an itch to apply to a startup and then I remember those 80-hour weeks I used to work at startups. I think startups are just bad value proposition for most employees. You might work similar hours in IB, but at least you get comped in cash...
