:) Again, I was hired as an Accountant, not for IT work. I replaced the last
consulting company these guys had because I actually new more (I once was IT and
have the expired certs to prove it) and I was always on site... Again, because
I am on of their accountants. However you cross platform support puts you high
on my recommendation list if and when I do go looking for better opportunities.
However, if they keep treating my like they do, I may not be looking any time
soon. This is a very nice company and they are very friendly people. That and
we are growing well, so compensation is good.
