Me too, but I'm a fighter as well, so watch out ;-)

Another option would be a large firm that takes in cohorts onto a training programme a few times a year. I'm not normally a fan of "graduate programmes" but that might suit you.

Possibly. I did the graduate treadmill after my first degree and I'd prefer to work somewhere smaller and less Initrodeish. I've been studying a slightly niche but useful area of computer science, so I don't really want to sell my ass to someone like McKinsey just because they have a Spring intake.

I guess my question is more about how to present my case to another person, without it sounding like I want to slack off.
