Some advice for new IT graduates
I wanted to throw out some advice that I wish someone would have given me what I first entered the IT universe.
If you happen to be one of those people who loves new and exciting things, you might just want to stay away from the big corporations and government organizations. On the other hand, if you are a person who values are most towards having a stable job with many benefits, then you might want to go for one of those places.
It is my experience in the corporate world that has shown me that most corporations like to create a homogeneous and stable environment that does not promote the use of cutting edge technologies but rather promotes the use of technologies that have been proven over time. While this is a good thing for the organization it might not be what all technicians are looking for.
If you want to play with new technologies and have a chance to live on the cutting edge you might want to op in to a job at a smaller, private company. If you really want to live on the edge you might want to even look for a job at a Web 2.0 start up. Then you would really have the chance to play with new stuff.
Anyway I though I would share that with you :).
