My first ever programming role was one that I had found at the Job centre. Don't get me wrong, it was a good stepping stone in to the industry since I was a hobby PHP programmer before hand.
After a lot a disagreements and the diminishing roles (company was favouring mobile), I decided to leave. While there, I met someone that would go on to teach me a wealth of knowledge and go on to hire me for the company I am currently at.

I was very comfortable at the old job (I didn't like it much but I didn't like change either). Leaving it gave me the opportunity to work with different languages (went from PHP to Ruby #neverlookback) and work for a start up that is making a difference.
