By analyst I mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_analyst > Should I push for a contract there after Try to surround yourself with the best developers and managers out there. Learn their tricks and tales. > Don't stick with the same job too long I've once spent 2 years at a job learning nothing, accomplishing nothing and getting insulted on a daily basis. Don't stick longer than 5 minutes in such a place. As a rule I try to stick 4-5 years. Unless of course I get grossly disrespected or something way more beautiful comes along.
