Hi - LSE BSc with odd career (a web developer). Anyone like me?

Hi,

I just joined WSO, so I just wanted to say 'hi'.

I've got my degree from LSE in 200X (early), and I'm working as a web developer for an internet company.

Anyone like me? or know someone? just curious 'cos I am the only one in my year. (out of hundreds I've known)

Anyway, WSO is like 'WOW'. So many great advice here! I might be working for J.P. Morgan if WSO existed that time. :D

Again, good to see you all!

LSE student here. I actually have some experience in the field. I started a company in my high school year (it was really more for fun) with some friends. Became a multimillion dollar business and we are operating on 4 continents right now. What did you study while you were at LSE?

I am just curious, but what are you trying to find on WSO?

 

One banana for each of you!

Wow are you still at LSE when you have a business? Come on! Quit LSE & grow it to a billion dollar business now! :D

Lucky you had friends who could build a business. Sadly, I had none. What kind of business is it? Just give me some hints? (industry etc)

To answer your questions. - I studied BMS! - I'm trying to figure out if WSO has friendly audiences for my forthcoming website. (feedback etc)

 

Thanks for the banana.

Haha, no. I am too afraid of the future downside risk. I want to keep as many options open to me as possible.

We operate in a specific niche market, so I don't want to give any information. If I would give you any information, with one google search, you would be able to identify my company. We offer basic services such as web design, app development, etc. (pretty much the usual stuff).

Oh, I see. What is your forthcoming website about? Finance-related?

 

I think programming is like composing music. Tests aren't useful in creating music! I do have grade 5 music theory, but i was suck at music composition.
