Speaking as one of the unfortunate bastards stuck in Internal Audit at
one of those mentioned companies, I can safely say Lakefront Breweries
has saved my life if not my sanity. The only upside to working for
such companies is that fact that Sarbanes Oxley has kicked most of
them in the pants to fix most of their broken technology as well
allowing me to get out of the country every other month. I agree that
if you really want to find the interesting work you gotta look outside
the box here and maybe into Chicago. The other problem with working
with some of the megacorporations is that they have such shitty HR
departments that your manager can't promote you based on your
excellent performance and level of responsibility but rather how many
years you've wasted with said company. Many of us are trying to escape
as soon as possible. My recommendation to hiring managers would be
look at what type of projects people do on their free time rather than
what they do within a company but I can attest that some of us treat
our daily jobs as a 8-5 routine fashionable to flipping burgers except
without the grease burn. My other recommendation would be to not
getting too caught up with "job" experience because it can really bite
you in the ass when you compare someone who spends free time
researching and trolling on mailing lists such as this with "little"
experience to someone with the 5 years in CISSP/CISA gift pack who
can't fucking perform an audit without their damn checklist in front
of them. So if you're interested in hiring someone with half a clue or
just want to ship me a few six packs of Leffe Brune or even Lakefront
Eastside Dark please post here and I'll contact you directly. Thus
ends my self whoring and buffoonery for the day.
