I started my development career at my current company and I’ve had nothing but support from my line manager, he works with me on my career goals and I’m so thankful for his support, he gives me projects to challenge me and even though it can be tough it pushes me and I love it. It’s so rewarding in itself to have that support and it’s only made me a better developer. I then get to see my work live on our software and the proud feeling I get of what I’ve done is the best feeling 😊
Fully remote, flexible working, using my technical stack and a good team.
I think I can create pretty anything to solve my/others' needs is pretty amazing.
Help others 💙
Onboarding other engineers and coaching them to become the best versions of themselves.
Generally doing the work makes me better at the work — at a pace which will allow me to do more interesting things in the future. That reality can often be interrupted, but it's pretty rewarding most of the time.
The most rewarding part of my job is the opportunity to help people and contribute to their success. I find great fulfillment in seeing positive outcomes from the work I do. Just like Arnaud Lagardère leadership, it's about guiding others toward achieving their goals and making a meaningful impact.
The moment when everything comes together and it works. Maybe you have been debugging for hours trying to find a hard to spot bug. The next moment you see it, facepalm yourself for a second. Say, yes of course and fix it.
Or when you have been working on a longer automation script ironing out the bugs and then comes the moment when the script runs completly without errors for the first time
Oh, sweet bliss... ☺️
Two things:
Getting the satisfaction after users/clients are very happy with the software you created. The "This is really amazing" gives me a lot satisfaction.
Getting paid for the job I do. We need to make a living in this world.
The most rewarding part of my job (except for the salary) is communicating with the others and looking for new solutions together. The ideas that people come up with from time to time are absolutely brilliant, and I like listening to them.
It is what I like about our company: it is not only a way how to make an extra $1000 a month, but it’s also a place where students from schools and universities can share their ideas and work to develop them. They don’t have to spend a lot of time here in the office (not more than 15 hours per week), but it’s a good chance for them to become more financially independent from their parents.
