Me and my career

Started by Bruno Tavares · 1 year ago

Hi all,

My look-a-like sabbatical year for finish my degree in computing engineering is finishing and I have to define what I’m going to do in the future. In the last weeks some people are asking me that. For me this is a very hard decision. I’ll try to explain why.
First of all, 75% of the […] ... Continue reading »

    Choose the best job you can get from those invitations just for the experience. You forgot to include that some significant percentage of the "issue" is experience, and past employment can certainly make the difference when choosing a definitive job.

    Hi Filipe,

    Choosing the best offer! That not so simple (for me) and you already have a clue why - my previous experience! There's not "bed of roses" expecting any of us when we are in a company. This may be a cliche but it's the true. You can face lots of difficulties in levels that you are not expecting. In my last experience I have to leave because they don't honor the agreement with me. The guy who I was delivered didn't like anyone that wasn't choose by him (I was choose by the big boss) and for that I wasn't able to perform my job. And other stuff too.

    Anyway, when you choose a job you are closing some opportunities windows - I know, that's life! However, some of the invitations that I have are good but I afraid of not to be happy. And work should, make us proud and happy for at least doing something that realises us.

    I forgot in this post to write that it's not the organizations that have to adapt itself to me but I'm the one who need to do adapt to it. When we are working we need lots humility and good will.

    I still have some time to choose and I'll use it.

    Tks for your comment :)

    Bruno my friend. Join what your heart soars most. Being with you i think an managerial position will make you most happy. Think on a managerial on a IT startup or enterprise . It has the two things you like, and the better part is that since you know programming, you will be better than most managers on an IT on. This is because you know the difficulties most relevant to programming.

    Hi Fábio :)

    Yes, the management in IT world attracts me a lot. But in Portugal I don't see how can this happens... Small country with lots of predefine rules with no pragmatic view...

    Tks for you comment :)
