I attended some career fairs, I really recommend these.

You can speak to people who have been through the graduate schemes and get real, useful advice.
Ellen Leahy / Big Data Analyst for Apple

Day to day, I'm a full stack software engineer - the person that takes the architect's solution and builds it.

My team in particular focuses on building applications around emerging technologies like blockchain and quantum computing. All of my computing experience was from uni.
