I must be having one hell of a rare experience then. I started at Cypress Communications (A nationwide telecom company) about 6 months ago (January) as a monitoring center technician. I didn't have a college degree, or any other certifications. My job was to monitor/troubleshoot circuits (ds1,3,etc.) I was promoted to a senior support engineer and given signifigant merit and position based pay raises within 3 months. I hate to toot my own horn but I kicked arse and got promoted for it. Is this not the way most companies work? Did I just get lucky?
Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me ..

We need to retrieve code patches that were posted to CVS three months ago. This is not a joke. We can patch the code after we get back. You must bring your own computer. Functionality not guaranteed. I have only done this once before..
