Corporate IT vs. Vendor IT. (vs. Consultant IT?)
As committed software engineer one sooner or later asks him or herself where to work. Which is the best employer, where can one develop the best, has the most interesting challenges and so on.
Steve Jones answers in the referenced posting to a blog entry from Joel Spolsky also known as Joel on Software. I found this comparison very interesting and also slighly amusing… enjoy!

I found it is interesting. E.g. following thought preoccupies me to:
“So a clear win for the corporates on that one. The next up is the worry that you can’t become the CEO if you work in a corporate in IT. Now this is pretty fair, but you can become the CIO and be responsible for a multi-billion dollar budget which doesn’t seem too bad and given the choice between that an CEO of a small product company then I have to say I’m with the CIO of a large corporate. Lets be generous here and say that the vendors win this one.”
