Accepting a tech offer is surprisingly similar to bomb disposal, except that bomb guys have a better idea of what they're actually walking into.

When I was young, I considered this to be exciting. These days, it makes me never want to switch jobs again.

I take the opposite approach and switch every few months, so I know that each and every nightmarish organisation (which is most of them) is only a temporary client.

I've been lucky enough to work for two 'fairly progressive' organisations in a row (by UK standards in terms of work/life balance, working from home, flexi time, general attitudes around 'how to do good work' (outcomes vs outputs, etc) and all that jazz.)

I figure after 2 in a row, the next place has got to be step backward a good 5-10 years. I'm putting it off as long as possible.

Though saying that the first place I worked was firmly stuck in the 1970s so maybe I got it all out the way in those first 3 years.
