That’s an interesting question, since I’m in a transition phase at Telecom at the moment. I shall be temporarily filling a Lead Developer role for a Service Help Desk. I will answer this from the perspective of my current job description: Senior .NET Developer.
Job Skills
- Analyse, Design, Quote, Schedule, Develop, Implement, Document, Train, Support, Mentor .
- The good news: The Workgroup Solutions Team, to which I belong, have autonomy to create Intranet web applications which we host and support. This means we’re able to pretty much design and develop anything which the end user is willing to pay for.
- The bad news: we’re essentially left to our own devices and must project manage our own time. We must advertise internally for new work. We must give estimates of resource availability. We must work within an ITIL Framework for Change Management, Incident Management, Problem Management.
