up north, not way up north but the further towards the north pole you go the

I just got offered a position with a consulting company where I would be
consulting full time for a major financial corp in NYC as their AD/Exchange guy.
I'm a little nervous and I was wondering if anyone here had experience with big
financial corps and IT.
Is it very different from doing IT for
Tom:
I work for a credit union, so the rules and reg's financial institutions
have to follow are similar. I concern myself with Sarbanes-Oxley and
Patriot acts.
As for the at will employment clause in the handbook; that is standard,
kind of a CYA for the company and you for that matter.
Anyway,
At will is very standard in the industry, especially for contract work. I
have had several jobs that were set up that way and in each I was there
multiple years without an issue. It allows the company to dump if you if you
really really suck or if you just don't fit in.
As for financial work.
No problem. :o)
I grew up in Northern Lower[1] Michigan myself, the village, yes village, of
Manton to be specific.

As usual, that's a great description Joe. I think Rick had a great sense about
it as well.
I'm pretty sure I've seen some of the reqs for this company you're talking

Tom,
I'll address the satement in the handbook. I'd be concerned if it was
stated that matter-of-factly. My experience is that most companies approach
your status with them as at-will work ethic.
At-Will simply means that there is no implied guarantee that the company has
to maintain you (IOW

I would tend to agree. I like big companies. The politics
tend to be a bit more tricky but as Al mentioned, you get to focus on the tech
that you work on. For instance, I loved running AD but not being responsible for
DNS or clients. DNS and clients have

This really helps.
As I told Al offlist, I'm gonna start asking you guys for relationship advice.
Also as Al pointed out,I'm most def a generalist.

honest as that...
That's good stuff Rick!
Often people don't bring up these fears due to the misconception that it
will make them seem weak. My opinion is quite the opposite. Being
afraid isn't a bad thing at all in my

Yes, most states have a right to hire law which MUST (by LAW) appear
somewhere at the place of employment. They are just reminding you of
this in your handbook. Also, the fact that it's a consulting firm I
figure they would say that anyway so that if things aren't
