    Default Fulltime job!!

    I got a fulltime job. I just signed the yearcontract yesterday. It includes car, phone and various other benifits and I'm really looking forward to starting coming monday.

    It's with a company called TestValue and they work on the quality of custom ordered software for company's. Basically they are the control point between the software developer and the customer.

    It's a traineeship and I'll most likely be working there for at LEAST two years.

    I'm pumped!! At least I won't be strapped for cash (as much) anymore.

    Glad to read that you got yourself a job, and you're stoked about it! The hard part may be keeping the ADs in check without rationalizing all of it (though, I'm sure some "gifts" for your diligence is in order!).

    Congratulations LX.
    I have been a Software developer for 10 years now. Being in-between the developer and the client is tough. You will be kicked at by both sides.
    But it is also a place where you can learn a lot, and not just technically.

    You will have to learn a lot about people and how to work with different personalities, and you will have to learn to play 'the game'.
    It can be very interesting and rewarding, and the start of a great career.

    Nice one, Alex! Congratulations.

    (Some advice: listen to Lou -- he has the voice of experience. He's been grinding his meat a lot longer than you.)
