I got one of my biggest breaks (in my younger days) as the IT guy brought in to join up with the financial analysis guys. The two areas are a beautiful marriage. Finding ways to present the numbers the Finance people need, as well as giving them ways to massage that data to see trends is both challenging and rewarding. Oh, you will find those Finance guys, they are much cooler than you think.
One of the things that has helped me when asked that sort of question:
I am looking for a place that has enough challenge to keep me on my toes, and the long range security to provide me a place to settle down and be my “last” job.
We file quarterly, I can’t believe Rush let this story go till the third hour.
It should have led in the first hour.
That is exactly what I need. Freepmail me your real first name, so I can say, “Over the weekend, I was talking to my friend, (Ingtar). He has worked in a similar situation and told me how much of a challenge it will be, and assured me that I will enjoy it.”
ANyway, thanks.
