...and what do you do now?

It would be interesting to see where our community started their career, how diverse we are and if we stayed in one field of work or had major career changes.

Good one, my first full-time job was a Junior Position at a software development company. Got there quite enthusiastic but soon was disillusioned by the treatment stuck there for some time, it was miserable until I got an offer to swap jobs and now I am at new company doing the same job but only with much more supportive people around me which personally matters to me more than the pay.

Tho I am thankful for the bad experience I learned a lot about many different non job related things there.
