Really insightful thread! Lots of interesting backgrounds, experiences and views on life. Thanks for sharing.

I’m a consultant physical performance coach. Essentially, I help athletes to run/jump/lift stuff longer/higher/faster; with the aim to enchance their sporting success.

Currently also working on a PhD in applied sports science whilst attempting to claw back some work < LIFE “balance”. Hence, achieving my long time dream of owning a VW van!!! Pushing hard to achieve my life goal of not being such a rubbish surfer too!

I work at a University in the South West. I am a manager of learning resources. I lead teams of technical staff that support all the practical teaching and research as well as all the stuff and space we own in a very large faculty.

Its great. Extremely varied and a really vibrant workplace. I spend most days pretending I am still at uni as an undergrad.

By day I head up software engineering for a national heritage institution, by weekend I do similarly geeky work for the Air Force and in the evenings I persuade the likes of Facebook to buy bits for my van by hacking them to find security exploits.

I’m a Contracts Manager for our family Construction Business. Not the most exciting but keeps me with plenty of toys for when I’m not at work
