Work :(

That is decent work experience... to get a bank on your CV before you graduated is excellent... you seem a very motivated women

And into her technology

So motivated it's scary... Now working at the largest global real estate company, based in the City. In a position I love. (Interface designer and coder, but I'm a code specialist, my team leader has the same title but is the design specialist! Which is good as I'm no designer!)

Not doing all that bad I suppose for 2.5 years graduated.

(And for a woman too, I can quite happily out geek quite a few people, a trait I'm very proud of )

haha, you should be proud of it too... there aren't enough of you!!!

What coding do you do? Is it mainly css coding, hence designing etc? I am the same, I know the coding better than putting actual "design" and "creativity" into action... althought I wish I could just open photoshop and boom!!! but I can't... unfortunately!

Obviously spend as much time on forums etc compared to doing work as me!!

My friends wife knows a lot about cars and stuff, so she really gets looks when she asks them specific questions about a car. Its hilarious. I like a woman who is into technology and gadgets. Don't see nothing wrong with women knowing a bit about cars either *thinks Megan Fox in Transformers ...*

Yeah, I'm a Templater/interface specialist... Old skool hand coder in Standards compliant x-browser XHTML and CSS with a tiny bit of javascript and XML/XSLT experience under my belt too.

I can comment and improve design, but I need someone to do the base work first.

About to start my journey into Web 2.0 this afternoon, which will be fun!

Still loving the fact you are a female geek!!! Excellent.

Well enjoy that journey, Web 2.0 is very interesting... I did my honurs project with that in mind!

What amazes me is the difference a company environment can make, my old job i used to be in for 8, and out by 7 if i was lucky. Now granted if your a shift worker you'll be saying 11 hours isn't much. But when your expected to develop, maintain all under stress, this is an incredibly long time.

Now its 9 to 5:30 often 6 because why bother leaving early if your not meating someone till 6 anyway. I get so much more done in a week, working fewer hours!

Not too mention i'm finally getting to do some intresting work, rather than just gaffer taping up old shoddy code.
