As someone in corporate that's worked on the front lines before, it's really corporate's job to limit overtime and bring in additional employees if overtime is a recurring thing, or identify efficiencies that can be made to stop it from happening.

But yeah, look for something else if you can, while you have this job. With your limited resources at the moment in terms of training, it wouldn't be a great idea to walk out in frustration unless things REALLY get overwhelming.

As far as city workers go, you learn to handle your liquor. You hit happy hour for a couple of hours, go home, sleep it off, and repeat. In my office, it's a well known fact that everyone is basically a problem drinker and that as long as you're coming in and taking care of your shit, it's acceptable. Not like we're talking to customers or anything.

I took tequila shots at 1 PM in the afternoon with my boss and a vendor in her office on a Wednesday once.

I hate you already. Answer me this, why is it that most of them seem like good looking people, like they look like a business variant of the hipsters?

I mean, what happened to the autistic brainboxes with not so great looks I met throughout my education?

Oh hi, I remember you. Glad you decided to try and get out of that dead-end situation.

There are a few graduate recruiters that accept a 2.2. The civil service fast stream being a good example, and they don't care about how long ago you did your degree.

I think you need to get a good idea of what you would ideally like to do, before finding ways of getting experience/skills/the ability to persuade employers that you're good enough for the job.

You mentioned IT -- what were you thinking, specifically? Web developer? Programmer? IT support desk? Data management?

One of the asian dudes I work with suggested something called networking, tells me since I have a maths background I should look into it. Tells me that it has good pay progression and being a social butterfly is not requirement.

>>18166935

Just need a little help here guys.

Quit your shit job when you have another one lined up.

Kinda asking for pointers in how to enter the IT sector, certifications, books, computer languages, etc.

If you want to get on the same footing as people who got firsts/2:1's then do a masters and work harder than before.

If you cant afford it in the UK then do a TESOL course and teach english part time while you do a masters abroad.

>masters

Will it still cost the same as before the fee increase, or will I have to pay the current fees?

I still have £17k student debt.

Try to find a helpdesk job doing tech support, an a+ certification should be enough to get you one.
