While running my own businesses is in my blood, there are some benefits of working for "the Man". As well as being able to get into IT and gaining experience in my preferred industry, working in the CBD ('downtown', for my north American friends) is awesome.

My office is on the 21st floor of Perth's QV1 building, and from my desk the views are fantastic - of the river, King's Park and the Indian Ocean. On a clear day, you can even see Rottnest island.
