To all graduates, what job are you currently doing?

Why?

Because I want to remain technical for as long as possible. When you start moving into people/programme management in my field, you end up doing dull **** like appraisals and budget planning and don't have any time to get involved with the technical analysis, which is what I actually really enjoy.

Liverpool?

If I said I didn't want to disclose it publicly, why would you ask me that publicly?

Just a question, chill. Feel free just not to answer. No idea why you're hiding your uni anyway

None of your business is it?

Sounds like you're ashamed for some reason.

Degree:Bsc Mathematics with Theoretical Physics
University: UCL

Job: Retired
Salary: none now
Previous jobs since graduation: Lecturer, Examiner, Private Teacher

No I'm very proud of my uni actually and I'm going back to it for my BSc so you're totally barking up the wrong tree. I have personal reasons for not disclosing my uni - it wouldn't take a genius to find out my grad year, classification, uni name and current job to know who I am and there are certain people that I don't want finding me online or otherwise for reasons that have nothing to do with you.

Degree: BEng (Hons) Digital Forensics and System Security
University: Coventry
Graduation Year: 2011
Job: Senior Cyber Security and Forensics specialist.
Salary: ~£75-80k inc. bonuses and shares + Bens
Previous jobs since graduation: Senior manager for a large distribution company and a Cyber Intelligence Analyst for a large defence prime.
Future plans: Bag a lead role somewhere cushy in London and settle in for the long haul. I don't have ambitions of moving up to Manager/Director level any time soon - I want to remain technical for as long as possible. Perhaps in about 5-10 years time, I could probably see myself moving up the chain and probably finishing up in a CISO role somewhere by the time I reach 45.

I am a biochemistry graduate. Just started working for 5 months. Salary 3.1k. Job : medical claims assessor.

Is 31k your starting salary? Would you rather have a more fun job but be paid half that?

31k? i wish

i dont mind taking a little bit of pain during my early years, but after 30 i definitely weight ambition and self fulfilling more than money.

What's your yearly salary? I assumed it was 31k, and a typo, rather than 3.1k because the latter is way too low.

I actually just got offered a job but its personal retail. So I am walking to strangers on the street and selling them some products? So for anyone who has done this should I take it? I need the experince
