Worked for 25 years at the Telstra Research Labs beginning in electronic design, moving on to software development, optic fibre and finally got out in 2000. Did some really interesting work (the 1000W laser was fun) and some boring work.
A few months later got my current job as a software developer (Delphi). The company I work for makes electronic price labels. Each label has a 4 bit micro and LCD price display on the front. When we get a price change file overnight we send the new prices to the labels by modulating the lights in the building with the data. When they come in the next morning the prices changes are done. Very challenging (aka complex) stuff with a code base of 280,000 lines of code.
