I'm the tech lead of the server production team at a mid-sized wholesale white-box PC OEM. This job feeds my Napolean complex all too well. I have practically attained deity status among our salesdroids and management. I get to play with most of the latest technology as soon as we get our hands on it. The employee discount is certainly nice too...
At times the stress gets to me but the people I work with are mostly great and there's almost always something to laugh about.
I'm not getting rich right now but I'm comfortable.
A short 8 minute commute is nice too.
