Rupert Buttermilk posted:I currently work for Pornhub (well, Mindgeek, the parent company), which is pretty cool. It's out of Montreal. I deal directly with the user-uploaded photos, and sometimes the community vids. I really like it, very low stress and great people to work with. Very professional, but obviously nothing is NSFW. In fact, it's weirder to have Facebook open up during work hours than some girl getting a facial or something. Free breakfasts every morning and a birthday lunch celebration once a month for everyone to enjoy. This sounds loving awesome, but are you like completely desensitized to porn now? I am assuming you are a straight guy (sorry if i'm wrong), so when you have sex, unless the girl is kicking you in the balls whilst wearing Nazi gear whilst your nipples are on fire, it does nothing for you? Fluffy Bunnies posted:I'm an author. I realized I wanted to be an author when I was 4, and now I am. I'm getting into kid picture books shortly with a pile of other goons and I hope it goes well because it's pretty drat fun to write kid books. Are you JK Rowlings? Can we be irl friends? I am a Technical Architect/Consultant in a very specific field which I don't want to talk further about. I travel around Europe, and sometimes internationally, and help people in large organizations solve fairly complex business and technical problems with bespoke technical solutions. I love my job because I was always good with computers, but didn't want to sit behind a desk programming for the rest of my life. The most complex aspect of my job is probably politics within an organization and having the necessary people skills to diffuse potentially difficult situations and get people on board. You need to very quickly assess who are the movers and shakers, and also any snakes that are eager for you to fuckup for whatever reason. This might be surprising as it's a very technical job. I am in front of senior clients 90% of the time at the start of a project, and you need to be able to think quickly on your feet, as well as know your poo poo. As the project moves on and the client knows they can trust you, I can work from wherever really as long as there are no meetings, such as a hotel or home, which is great for personal life. I get 5 weeks holiday a year and really nice benefits. The largest project I worked on was $0.7billion, but I was only a tiny cog in a huge wheel. I get to see the world for free, and get to work on really, really interesting things that I would have no idea were even problems if I wasn't doing this. Sometimes I get lonely when I'm in a hotel though so I either post on the forums or go out and get wasted. I love my job and it pays really well  Oh yeah, all my private fuel (car gas/petrol or w/e) is also paid for. I'm a smug bitch. EDIT: From reading all the other posts, I guess I work in a soul-crushing office job. I guess it's a matter of perspective. spud fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Nov 27, 2014 |

GORILLA BASTARD posted:Civil service & less than 6 yrs till retirement with a pension & a strong 401k to back it all up. Also have the ability to come back as a consultant on top of that. We schedule our own overtime so that we get at least 2 overtimes per pay period. Job is low to no stress level & co-workers are pretty chill. I started working with a Project Manager about 2 months ago that used to work in the public sector. I asked him "What's different about working here rather than the public sector"? And the answer will have to wait til after holiday season.
