Dan wrote I worked as a broadband specialist for what Americans would call Comcast. In the UK we have Sky which is essentially a subsidiary of Comcast. The pay was brilliant, was making a third of my monthly salary as bonus on top. However it's a very KPI driven job and you make the best bonus' from swindling customers into either adding things they don't want or purchasing things they don't need. The best part of the job was helping the elderly with their technology, got to have so many wonderful interactions with people over the time I was there.

However going back to the swindling it eventually overcame me and with how good I was at sales it made me realise just how awful the job can be. I eventually quit just basically not being able to feel good with myself most days. I do miss the perks of the job like tech vouchers, basically had all the new apple tech every year and also the free cable TV.

I've got what's called an "immediate re-hire flag" which means if i ever apply again i go straight back through but I don't think I could ever force myself to do that line of work again.

I'm now somewhat self employed working with social media, pay is steady and have much more free time with the partner.
