I work at First Republic Bank, private banking/wealth management. Been here about 3 years, my first "real job" out of college. Currently my role is as a Team Lead for our deposit services group so I provide assistance to all of our agents who assist with client inquiries via call/email and also handling escalations since I have a deep technical understanding of our products and services. Sometimes the occasional house visits for our white gloves clients. It's not a bad gig, great company with excellent pay/benefits. Long term goal is to move my way into a role that helps manage and form vendor relations for new products and services that the bank is looking to take on.

Corporate Development (M&A) work for a large professional services firm. Buying and integrating smaller companies to add key services/expertise/geographic reach.
Was in HR for almost 20 years before that and made this career shift about a year ago. More hours and more travel but overall really enjoy it.

Staff UX Engineer, Manager; I manage a team of engineers that build/maintain an e-commerce store's front-end.
Even though we are officially designated as UXEs we operate much more like Front-end Engineers. The company has true UXEs and this is always a weird impedance mismatch when it comes time to do 360° performance reviews (every 6 mos.).
Oh, and at my company Staff is one level above Senior (other companies in this area go Senior ↦ Principal).
(Am I explaining too much? lol)

I own a rock climbing gym and a micro distillery. I work at both full time and the gym is far more exciting. Basically when you open a distillery you work in a factory you built, and there's drinking.
So you're a nerd who manages other nerds? Got it
I am a Senior Director, Sales Analytics and Operations (fellow nerd)

Which distillery (my guess is North of 7)?

Any particular intentions regarding myself?
Well the term nerd has taken a dramatic change in meaning. To me nerds are the shit since they know how to do all the stuff that I wish I knew how to do. If I was 18 again I would go to school and study everything computer/IT/software related for 4-5 years and then take over the world.
And by the time you graduated, all that knowledge would be obsolete and you'd have to start all over again...
haha so true. I remember when I was in university in the early 2000s they literally taught us about Alta Vista/Ask Jeeves/Yahoo - the idea was that you would use different search engines to find different things....antiquated in hindsight and that was less than 20 years ago.

It depends. I took COBOL as a non-credit course when I did my CS degree. When I graduated in '92, that course got me my first job programming on mainframes, and I was told at the time that it would only be for a few years as that tech was dying. I'm still actively working in that environment today. It may outlast me.

I’ve been a Siebel Developer since 1999. Just like many other stories here, I never expected to be doing this for 20 years! But many federal government agencies still use the software and pay very well for contractors with experience.

I assume this is in regards to my name? I own Coyote Rock Gym and I'm a route setter. Hence the name Coyotesetter.Any particular intentions regarding myself?

This "consulting" you do. I have to look into this.
Sounds like you and mark (@krafticus) should have a beer together! Although I think he just escaped from his own personal prison.
There are still gummint jobs in Fortran IV available, for a fact. Rumors of the demise of the dinosaurs are somewhat exaggerated. I have an old friend who's doing really, really well in old-tech contract work for NASA.
Good pay, but a lot of frustration, I would imagine.

I used to get paid double what I do now however the UK likes to hike up the Tax whenever possible.
I play much less poker and much more golf as a result of this.

In fact the dichotomy between the AS/400 running RPG and the 5250 smart-terminal running the data description specifications (DDS) used to define display files was a close analogy to how HTML in the browser and CGI in Perl on the server work. I made the leap in 1994/5 seamlessly and never looked back.

This makes me feel alot better about prospects for my next job. I think I still remember some Fortran from my first job out of school.
