-- Love your Job or Hate it???
Pages (4): « 1 [2] 3 4 »

Ya seriously.

It is a contract position which scares me, but Im thinking of it as my foot in the door right now... Ill be a Project Manager or something and the salary is right around what i want, close to about 100k.

I dont have it yet oran9e, im competing with 2 others, but it looks promising my agent says.

But ya from what I hear its pretty plush.

So if I dont end up getting it, maybe one of you guys know a spot where they might need me at!

I hate where im at right now. Im starting to develop a twitch in my eye because people annoy the shit outta me here. By the end of the week im all burned out because of all the ignorance here.

Originally posted by oran9e you cant go wrong with google... fortune's #1 place to work for. insane company perks, like free gourmet lunch/dinner, massage, laundry facilities and more... but yeah they are kinda making you stay there instead of going home. good if you're single. very impressive that you got a job there... i've applied a few times and got rejected everytime

ive read some peoples experiences with interviewing and what not and you pretty much have to know someone or have some impressive resume for them to even consider you for an interview.

I work as a tech support rep for starwood hotels. Basically i am saving the hospitality industry, one starwood property at a time.

I love it cause i get rooms at the bonaventure all the time, and i got a room in miami for wmc on the beach at a five star resort for $69.00 per night.

I also get to pretty much make my own hours, as we are 24 hour support, so i can come in around 2pm or so if i want to sleep in for a week or a month.

my night job is fun, playing out and drinking at some of the best clubs in LA with some of the coolest people in LA

life is good....for now

I've never applied or try, actually got my first and current job from a friend but I always thought Google kidnapped/bought out all the best people from all the good companies

100K I am in the WRONG PROFESSION!!! I wish was computer Smart....

Anyways... I work with animals by day... and party like one at night. I am a Veterinary Technician (Animal Nurse). I have been working with Animals for all most 10 years.. solid for 5 though...
I love what I do! It is just where I work I am not to happy with. I work for Corporate America.. Where I came from Hospitals that where privatively own. I also work in an environment where there is a lot of stress b/w the people that work there. I can deal with the stress that the job has.. I just hate the drama at the work place!
I also started working 6 days a week and seem like I am still barely making it or I feel like I am working hard enough. *sigh*

At the end of this month will be my year working at this place so I am going to ask for a raise. I have also put my new resume out there to see what happens.

VCA( the company I work for) is looking for new Techs! I work in Burbank and we need a tech.. and the office in Pasadena needs techs too!

I have to say I like this job..now making it to school afterward.. THAT SUCKS

I'm the assistant manager for Baby Gap/Maternity incharge of operations in Burlingame. Currently I'm enjoying my job, but it has it's ups and downs. It's retail after all.

This summer I interned at a big advertising company in West Hollywood. I absolutly loved it. Great company, great people, and the office was at the PDC so whenever I walked into and out of the office tehre were always beautiful woman walking about. Unfortunatly there were no full time positions there, and I ended up moving back to my home town of St. Louis in September.
Now I work as a resaerch lab assistant in a neurology lab at Washington University in St. Louis. I hate my job. Its kind of interesting at times, but I hate working in a lab. Most of the time though, I don't have anything to do, so I really can't complain because I'm being paid to sit infront of the computer and do whatever.
But I've decided, I am moving back to LA in May. I just need to make sure i have a job there.... Anyone know of any companies hiring?

you mean what do i do at my job now?

(mainly genotyping and slicing up rat and mouse brains)

or


what job am i looking for?

(really anything. I actually am very interested in working at any company that is involved in envirnmental work, ie renewable power, waste management etc, since the environment and climate change are issues that i'm very interested in. i also really like anything that has to do with advertising. i'm pretty much open to anything tho. i have a health sciences background as i was pre-med, but i'm not sure if i want to go into medicine yet. the only thing i don't want to do is anything involved in sales.)

haha nice. i work at alton and technology.

montie: what do you want to do out here? we do lots of environmental cleanup and a lot of stuff that has to do with the environmental aspect of construction.

Love my job! But I hate idiots who know nothing tell me how to do my job. That should have gone on the Vent thread but fuck it.

I don't have a paying job

I am a full time grad student and I go out on the weekends (either Friday or Saturday).

I am not too sure if I want a job. I like that I can just focus on studying, but it would be nice to have some money coming in.

haha, I just wanted to reply to this thread.)

yeah i hear ya on that Grad School can be great, but at the same time paying for that tuition SUCKS.. wish i could go full time and get it over with!

I work for an Enterprise Search company in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as a software developer/customer solutions guy. No it's not google (although they keep trying to hire me).

I don't love my job, but I am tolerating it. In fact at times I deal with a lot of b.s. because I am working in a developing country, and the rules are different here. Everyone kisses the boss's ass, overdresses, works long hours, ignores their personal life and significant others. It's a sub-serviant environment, and the office can be chauvanistic at times. It's especially difficult being the gringo, as there is higher expectations of me. It's not what I am used to having worked in Silicon Valley for 10 years, but I'm getting experience working abroad which is invaluable, and it's the most humbling experience of my life (especially taking the bus in Sao Paulo for two hours a day!)

But I moved out here to be with my girlfriend until she finishes her phd, and I was lucky to even find a job here paying 60-70% of my US salary, so for that I am grateful. Also I am getting to live in Brazil for a year or two, improve my Portuguese, and I know I am going to hate it when I move away!

I'm already starting to look for a new position for 2008 after she graduates. It's a 80% likelyhood we re-locate to the bay area - so if anyone knows of cool places to work, let me know! The other option is Amsterdam - yes, Amsterdam - as my girlfriend wants to pursue a postdoc there working for a well-know researcher. I hope I can find work there if that happens, but I am sure my weekends would be filled.

I enjoy DJing too, I've plade a few parties here in Sao Paulo, and I am working with some friends to throw something at a club at Sao Paulo, there are a lot of opportunities here!

seems like all of you have some cool jobs. but i dont see anyone who works in a trade.

im a plumber, and yes it is a shity job sometimes. i enjoy doing remodels and new construction. if any of you need a plumber, im right here.

Love them all

I'm pretty much surrounded by women all day with a work ratio of 3 females to every male here and I do marketing and creative design.

The rest of the time I work for Spundae

surrounded by women during the day, music at night - no complaints here

and I pretty much make up my schedule with either, but my days are usually 5/6am - midnight during the week anyhow - there's always work to be done!!!!
