To confound the stereotype of IT staff being sallow, pasty, weedy geeks who else works in IT?

I work for an investment bank doing server and network support.

I'm not at the moment, but start my job next month once I finish uni. I will be developing various solutions, mainly web based at a small IT firm.

I'm a web developer. Too be honest alot of the people in the industry are your stereotypical nerds, i know of about five people including myself that aren't giant geeks and we're still very geeky, but we can pass for a normal person as well.

agreed, i was a team leader on a technical helpdesk previously and it's a very modern, young orientated place in the first line type of jobs.

I work in IT.

I do application admin I guess you'd call it. Look after an application and the servers it runs on etc.

I don't mind it but the place I work is very dull.

Can't find another job somewhere else.

How did you get into that? Can you get me a job

I work in an IT company but I dont have an IT role.

Company I work for develops software for investment orgs, mainly IB's and the software is used for trading shares/stock.

Hazard a touch of narcissism without shame.
