Hanging around waiting to start new job. Yes I know – ‘hanging around’ in other people’s worlds = holiday. In mine it equals wondering what to do until I can do work again. New job is back in the banking world – no more consulting. Which is very good. In the last job I very quickly started to remember why I hated consulting. I hate coming up with the ideas and having dim witted people then not understand said ideas and have to explain it them and then eventually dumb it down for them. So my brilliant bit of thinking is wasted. I only did two jobs where I was actually working with people who ‘got it’ first time. And one of those I suspect was considering offering me a job. But they were in the sticks – far, far away – and I had no desire to travel that far. Also not sure of the ethics of that – absconding from one job to a job with a client. Might have been problematic. New job is a little vague right now – Security Architect doing things with IDS/IPS/event correlation seems to be the general gist. Will know more after I start but I think it’ll be a better fit than the last one. Fingers crossed anyways.
