Hiya, Yeah I would get your CV up on to Recruitireland.com. I found this site very good when I was searching for my new role. I actually register my CV ( Its a new service they offer) and I got calls from employers and agencies based on what I was looking for straight away. I am sure you are well aware that IT is a very strong industry in Ireland, you will have no problem find a jobs. Yeah definitly put your CV on Recruitireland.com and see what happens, you will be really glad you did. Anyway even if you stay you can always see what the employers or agencies have to offer!!
Hi all,
Many thanks for the replies. I have just moved department within the company - one that will give me alot of technical exposure with J2ee technologies. So I am reluctant to move for the next 6 months.
When I interviewed for here 3 years ago I told them I really wanted a place that I could carve out a career for myself. However 2 1/2 years later I can honestly say I am still a mere minion!!!
As a result of my post you have given me some really good tips - I will contact a recruitement agency to see what is out there - work wise and benefits (what companies offer) - this is my fist provate sector job - previous job was public sector - terrible conditions! hense why I grabbed this job
and family...pinkybear said:it is a nice place to work

Piority, priority , priority !!!! career ? family? career ? family ?
If you really intend to start a family in the near future, then stay where you are even though salary may be on the low side.. there is more to life than €€€...
There is .....
and family...
Hint: when you're promoting a company you work for, try not to make it too obvious. Thanks.
I edited that for you!!
Hi all,
I am looking for some objective advice - I work in IT - 4.5 years programming in Java. I am working in a company that is doing relatively well. However in general how we are paid is 10% below average with a bonus at the end of year bringing us up inline with the average.
With one thing and another it is looking as though this year we will not be getting our bonus.
I am of two minds, it is a nice place to work - however we work hard - my average day - if good is 7.30 - 5. That is if I don't log on at home or week ends! I am at the stage in my life where we are thinking of starting a family and the company I work for does pay maternity leave.
So if I decide to stay for a year and leave when I am expecting I could find it very difficult to get a job - if I left before I become pregnant I could find the new company does not pay u during maternity leave.
I have a review comming up in a few weeks time and I want to try and fight for a pay rise - but I find that in my line of work it can be difficult as it can be very difficult for management to see exactly how much you do.
My query is: what are other IT companies like for women, maternity leave and such? And would you stay in a company if you knew you were not getting paid the standard amount? If you are a programmer how do you/ or do you try to get a decent pay rise?
When I look at irish jobs and I see jobs being advertised for 1-2 years experience being offered roughly what I earn am I nieve in thinking all these jobs are real??
Many thanks P
