0What do you do for a living?
I work for a multi-national company in the information technology sector. I am a coder by profession and help my clients in developing banking applications.
How long have you been doing it?
I have been working in this field for the last ten years and enjoy my work. I have worked on several projects over the years and am currently working as a Project Manager.
Can you describe one of your typical working days?
A typical day for me starts at 10 am with a meeting with my team members where we give updates on our progress and plan our work for the day. Then I oversee the work of my team members and complete my work. I usually take a lunch break of half an hour and try to finish work by 6 pm, though sometimes I end up working late as well.
Why did you choose to do that job?
I chose this field because software is something that has always fascinated me. I developed a couple of apps with my friends in college, and my current employer was very impressed with it and gave me a job offer. I am passionate about technology, and the prospect of working on new technology makes me feel productive.
What things do you enjoy about your work? Why?
I enjoy working on cutting-edge technology and the high salary, which enable me to indulge in my hobbies and treat my family to the good things in life. The recognition I get at the office is also a driving force that keeps me motivated. Moreover, I enjoy the positive relationships I have with my colleagues because I believe that a healthy work environment is crucial for success.
What is your ideal job?
I would like to start my own software development company, and heading that would be my ideal job. I feel this way because I will have the freedom to choose the projects that I want to work on. I will also explore the business development aspect of an organization, which is currently lacking in my scope of activities.
Do you want to change your current job? Why or why not?
I would not like to change my current job any time soon as I am pretty satisfied with the work that I am doing and with my salary as well. I intend to continue in my current job for at least 3-4 years to gain more experience. Subsequently, I plan to take the entrepreneurial route and start my own software development company.
