Since graduating in 1987 I have worked for three companies (and done 
a doctorate):
1) A small office of a mid-sized accountancy firm. The people I 
worked with were great, but the work didn't excite me.
2) British Telecom, a huge firm employing 105,000 staff. The people 
I worked with were great, but nine years was probably too long to 
stay in one place.
3) Microsoft, another huge company employing 55,000 staff. The 
people I worked with were great, but it turned out to be too far 
from home.

Do you notice the common thread? Honestly, the people you work with 
make a huge difference to how much you enjoy a job; and in my 
experience the people working at large corporations are as fun as 
other folk. You'll enjoy it Kathy.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.

PS This is my first post since moving continents. I no longer live 
just outside Seattle USA. I now live just outside Cambridge UK. Wow, 
tres hectic.
