Well, after several interviews it is looking like I am going to have to decide between two very good web-related jobs, each with highly respected blue chip companies in central London. And being a Libran, this is naturally an extremely difficult thing for me to have to do. I should hear "officially" ...

It's a funny old world. Near on 12 months ago, I was saying my sad goodbyes to friends at PwC and bracing myself for a new job - and here I am again. Today, after just short of a year, I left Royal Mail. This time it's to join Conchango, one of ...
