At night time bouncer, medicine student during the day. Still figuring out what area to specialize( not as bouncer though ).
I have to work at something demanding attention, that keeps you on your feet, would go mad from something like office work.
Dunno if I replied before, but I am (still) a full-time project manager. With full-time I mean that I don't do anything else than that. My SW developing and architecture days are over. Almost all of my projects are software based, with an occasional combination with a physical device (either bought or self made). The SW part of the projects are always executed in an agile fashion, either Scrum or Kanban. The projects are mostly in the late development stage, meaning there is not much room for exploration and stuff like that, it is focused on getting a product on the market on time. That includes dealing with Quality Management Systems, regulatory requirements, proper project documentation and improving the overall quality of the product to be released over time. That is what I do well, I don't do to good in managing projects in the exploratory phase or early prototype phase. These type of projects require a different type of project manager than me and quite regularly also different SW developers (but not always). Not everybody is good in all phases of development. I learned to know my limits in that aspect a few years ago.
I moved to the Senior Project Managers group of my company, which probably means I am getting old and am considered a senior
It actually results in being able to get better projects and that it is far easier to evolve myself as a project manager. Not that there is a financial improvement with that evolvement. I hit my financial ceiling years ago.

s/more/less@Pladio: Why? At a certain point in your life the work you do is more important
@Pladio: Why? At a certain point in your life the work you do is more important than securing a job with the better payment. That said, I've compared salaries at other companies and they are roughly the same or quite often less. The type of work they would offer would need to be a lot more interesting than what I am doing now to motivate me to move there.
Programmer, full stack. Started out primarily working on back-ends in various financial institutions, but some time ago I swapped to the sports industry, where I'm currently the lead developer of a website (FotMob).
Corporate BS as in not doing the job, but rather doing the meta meta meta (regulatory/process improvement/etc) stuff? I am thinking there is some growing overhead in this. Let's say 5 people do a job and it does not work well. What happens today is you one by one remove people from the doing side and in the end 4 people are process enhancers and do appointment related business including powerpoint problems, and one does the job. Maybe some slight exaggeration hereI went to the highest bidder years ago and sold my IT soul to big oil It pays great but you have to deal with corporate BS all the time. It's definitely a trade-off.
I definitely envy (that aspect of) people who've managed to find a job they're passionate about and feel is important work
Life is too short to not find something like that.

It's safe to say, compared with small companies, big companies are a weird and distorted paralell universe.
