    Tbh mate I used to love my job for most of my working life. But the last few years were boring for myself. And led to depression. Should have retired earlier lol. It's why job satisfaction in my world was more important than money, but it does help lol.

    Retired electronic and software engineer. Still dabble, been into electronics since I was nine and can't imagine not messing about with my multimeter (like a few others on here!) and oscilloscope.

    Thanks! Always loved travelling, so it's a good fit. Some long hours and stressful clients - but the travel perks make up for it!

    Thank you for coming out the closet first :)

    I'm another Business Analyst. Stumbled into the role and I've contracted - mainly within Financial Services - for the last 15 years within central Scotland. Currently working on an Annuities project for a Life & Pensions organisation in Edinburgh.
