I think Im classed as new, still a permy at the mo looking to get a contracting job WITHOUT first handing in notice, its possible just not as easy but I dont have the bottle to just hand in my notice like that (cue the you dont have the bottle to be a contractor replies)

Anyway QA/Tester £300+ a day.

I'm in the wrong QA

I'm in the wrong QA

You will need to explain that a bit, I'm 28 and have quite a bit of experience. I'd accept 250 just to get that first contract under my belt though. If you are in games QA then get out ASAP! I used to work testing games for Eidos, moved to Sky TV testing iTV apps and almost doubled my money that was years ago though

Who tests the fecking box software for Sky?

Should be shot...

I used to

I was first in iTV testing then moved into testing the hardware. If its an old box though nothing to do with me! A lot of old boxes are failing as they are old basically. I was only really involved in testing that the hardware worked correctly we didnt actually do the testing of the software so my job was more about occilscopes, voltages etc etc

Ah.

Like mine then...
Was immensely gratified when the LNB on the chimbly died the other year.
I now have a dish farm in my front bedroom.

I actually started doing testing on the LNBs just before I left, basically a lot of people in the field were losing their channels after storms, all to do with signal to noise etc etc, anyway I left Sky mainly as I found the hardware really boring to test, I was also doing an Electronics course at uni which they paid for but I just much prefer testing software.

Get back to Woolwich where you belong!!

fine by me, but we have a shiny new stadium now, rather than the thing you have on 3 point lane.
