My work mobile is on the EE network and doesn't appear to have any issue with adult content. The industry I work in requires me to access explicit content occasionally and I've yet to come up against any roadblocks with EE.

...and I haven't come across a recruiter yet that could tell me the difference between javascript and php. It appears we haven't met before.

Fresh college grads getting $150k? I find that incredibly hard to believe.

Whilst I don't agree with the practice, the reason most recruiters are cagey about disclosing too much info on the company they represent is because they don't want the candidate to go to the company directly and saving the company $25k. Ho

Most of my visits were to CSG. Granted the skillset in CSG is more sales & advertising as opposed to tech but still, it was quite funny to see. Completely unrelated: I'm in love with the carpeting in the London CSG office. I've never fe
