Voted "Unemployed/student/etc" although even that's not quite accurate. I'm retired...but never worked in the computer biz in any way...in fact, for most of my career, the only computers I ever dealt with were in the LMI systems in cranes...

I know how old you are and this is probably the closest that you've come to a computer in your early career....

 

[Capt Caveman]

That's a completely screwed org structure.

Actually, it's pretty common, most G&A functions fall under the CFO.

 

[Phoenix86]

IT Manager.

That's a completely screwed org structure.

CFOs usually sit on top of the org chart for those departments.

Do you think they should report to the CEO or COO instead?

 

[Kaido]

I am onsite IT support for a few buildings. I really enjoy it, everything from troubleshooting to building computers to networking to playing with toys like smartphones and projectors. Basically what I always thought my dream job would be.

However, I'd like to make the move to filmmaking because I've discovered it's more of my true love. A lot more opportunity to be creative within a given budget and actually make the decisions you want, unlike your typically restricted ones within the IT field.

 

[manimal]

Owner of two small business's.


Dream job? Opera singer. Had it for over a decade. Sang all over the place and did what I loved. I actually excelled at the singing as well as the fund raising. Had a weird infection to a salivary gland that exploded and ended that...I still direct and teach but its not the same. Almost bittersweet.


second dream job I am now doing. Raising my three year old triplets.

third dream job I am doing as well. Fucking with cars

 

[Angry Irishman]

Defense contractor war monger. I manage the flying operations of unmanned planes for the Air Force...all on a tropical island. Can't even make that shit up.

Jobs I want...work in a micro brewery and do charity work on the side.

Never seen an org where the legal department reported to the CFO. Finance and IT? Sure.

Actually, it's pretty common, most G&A functions fall under the CFO.

10-20 years ago that was common. Over the past 10 years, there has been a strong change to functional centralization and increase in the SPOC of the CEO.

Nope. See above. Functional centralization.

International Primary School teacher

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I understand that pays a veritable crapton of money. Personally I would be worried about basing my career on one MS technology though.

I have 17 years of experience in infrastructure as well and can flip between them. I had 3 interviews last week (2 for SharePoint positions, and 1 for an infrastructure position heavy on VMware, Active Directory, etc) and got job offers on all 3. :awe: Leaning towards going for a contract SharePoint position, however.

But you seem like such a nice guy. How can you do that to people? D:

lol. It sucks for many things IMO, but is awesome for many others.

I never understand what these titles mean when I see them, they are so vague. What exactly do you people do?

They aren't vague if you understand how IT interacts with business.
