    Where is the Public Sector option?

    Some of us still bill great rates in secure industries for doing nothing.

        lol reminds me of that summary of the difference between process and discrete manufacturing. when things break down in process they go splat and when they go wrong in discrete they go crash. or something.

              I've been in automotive the last 6 years. Trying to get into banking but nobugger will let me. I have a good mate who's a PM in banking, and swapping war stories, automotive is a much harder gig.

              But no. "Must have experience of banking".
