Im supposed to have a junior role, but my boss signed the papers not having the word junior or JR anywhere in it, so im quite happy to trott along being not a junior!

Well, since my work is changing it's policy (no more headphones and we have to dress a lot smarter) i think i don't earn enough!
It was sort of a perk being able to feff about not looking to sharp and just listening to music while coding away, but now thats taken away from us

I earn £4.5ph

Richwill---You need to cut down on those 40 hors a week you are indulging in.You can't afford them on £23000.
Outrageously decadent behavior for someone in your job anyway.

you really need to learn about the heirarchy of management. the higher up you go, the less you do, but if things go wrong then it's your fault.
Midddle management is responsibility without authority. Those at the top of the tree don't want you shaking their branches so you have no authority to do anything without their say so. However, when it all goes t*ts up it is your responsibility not theirs.

I guess I fit into your big salaries category, But I also work an average about 60 hours a week. I m on call 24 Hours a day every day. When once asked to justify my salary my response was "It is not what I do, but what I can do". When the brown smelly stuff start flying I am the one that suddenly is in demand. I support construction projects round the world that run into the hundreds of millions $. LDs on these sort of jobs get into the million bucks a day. Therefore pressure can be a killer. Families have to learn the job comes first.

In saying that I have worked in some interesting places, Mainly in the far east. But a 6 month secondment in Dubai was sheer torture
Hi tim.. what do you do it you don't mind me asking.... i'm an architect and just job hunting in dubai at the moment, plan on going out for interviews next month and move out probably april \ may time... did you enjoy it out there?
