Sometimes I just don't get large corporate companies. A recent company that will remained anonymous made the following comment through their HR department:-

"We're not interested in attracting 'Computer Geeks' to be the future leaders of our firm"

Bear in mind, this is a IT Services company and it was in reference to the graduate recruitment process.

I find the comment outrageous and I think it's why so many very talented developers leave the larger companies. Sometimes we're made to feel like 2nd class citizens for having technical knowledge! We can be good business people too!

Hah.. I agree. I'm a computer geek who architects my companies Business Intelligence platform. I know more about their business than they do it seems... I have to so I can properly report on the data. But they don't like me because my reports tell them when they won't be getting their bonuses 8^D because they don't know their own business!
