I want to get out of technical work and go into an I.T PM role before becoming a 'senior' don't think I've got it in me to continue down the tech path forever. 
No one wants to listen to a 27 y/o boss them around though, I still gotta do some courses too to get in the door

Anyone can warm a seat for 10-20yrs and claim it as 'experience', it's what you achieve in that time which counts. You could achieve more in 5yrs than someone who ticks-thru 20yrs.

If your time spent has provided you the capability to perform the role don't write it off due to a number, be it age or #yrs working.

If you can prove your worth now to your direct-reports rather than falling back on what you did in the past, you will come out with respect no matter of your age.

Try telling that to HR who filter the applications and weed out the ones who don't "meet" the requirements.
Or trying to get through recruitment agency word search filters.

All of whom don't give a f**k about references or achievements or milestones.

Cover letter most important^

If you quantify in words your experience due to the quality of your work and level of involvement, you'll easily shoot over someone who says they've been in the game for 10 years but can't put into words what that means because they've warmed a seat and never done anything exceptional. Time of experience is also easy to lie about and good HR managers know this.

Time is also generally correlated with experience even if there are outliers like go getters and seat warmers, so you need inventive ways to be considered over the others.

Also, sif work for a company that purely values quantitative experience over quality...that's a sure way for your hard work to result in someone else's promotion because they're "overdue" for it / are next in line...consider their filtration of you a filtration of them too.

True that, it's more me not getting off my ass and doing a course or doing something different to side step down the management path rather than technical. 

Plan has always been do technical stuff till about 30 so I've got a solid 10 years experience then re-evaluate what I wanna do in my 30s career wise.

I know I'm listing numbers but I dunno, in IT seems like everything changed once I had 5 years experience under my belt, that could just be like you said by achieving more in that time than others with 20 yrs experience.. man some of these old guys have NFI how shit works..

1999? I remember that thing.
The Matrix, Y2K, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

pls

The matrix confirmed the year was 2199 and 1999 was simply a construct of the machines, Y2k was in 2000 and the Chilli Peppers peaked in 1991 with the release of Blood Sugar Sex Magic

1999 was all about Futurama

And Hard Kandy

Just got a gas bill more than 3x of any bill in the last 12months, the charges go all the way to step-3 off peak.

 

Only gas appliances are heater and hot water. Heater is disconnected electrically and was serviced in winter. I was away from home 4 nights a week from Jan to Feb, then overseas for a month.

I'm reading that sometimes gas companies to 'catch-up' bills if they get their estimation wrong?

I'll check the gas meter when I get home, but if the figures are similar, ain't shit I can do?

 

Went from 27MJ a day to 147MJ a day. No leaks that I know of...

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
