I'm in my second year of the technology graduate scheme of a major US financial services organisation. I didn't think I'd still be here after 12 months of joining, but the hours are nice and I guess the money's been too good for me to go anywhere else (yay for selling one's soul!). Also, recently rotated into a new team which is doing proper software development - a big plus for me - so I'm likely to stick around until at least September. Will see how it goes...
It is indeed the capital of the North, but I like the second capital, Liverpool! So totally biased.

Your job sounds awesome, Yellow. I'm really curious about development, If I get the opportunity I will certainly pick your brain about what you do! I've worked for a software development company and now this one is selling infrastructure solutions directly from the vendors themselves, so I'd like to think I have an entry level grasp now of technology - but I'm super stoked to learn as much as I physically can (hence why I learnt basic HTML & CSS)

I wish you all the best in your job!
