As a person in her 20s navigating her own career path, I'm always curious to find out what draws people to certain professions and why they do what they do.
What do you love about your job?
I love this question! It's so positive.
I love that I get to work with wonderful people who challenge me, allow me to grow professionally, who respect me and who know how to make me smile, all through our (mostly) virtual work environment.
I also love that I get to see so many cool products launch daily and play even a small part in their launch journey. It's such a privilege to have this touchpoint with makers and fellow product lovers across the world. You're all my daily inspiration.
@rajasimon I completely understand. This is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Furthermore, it opens you up to new opportunities and is a way to express yourself by bringing meaning
I’ve run a start-up since I graduated. I enjoy the creativity and pure team spirit there is in starting something new. There’s a sense of complete ownership mixed with spontaneity which allows for speed and quality work which beats the politics and planning one typically faces in a larger team.
I work at Teal. It's a lot of fun and really rewarding because we get to help people grow their careers every single day. We see people with real problems who need real help and people who have serious questions but don't know who to ask. It's rewarding to see those people be successful after engaging with us.
As for my role there, I do a lot of marketing work and run our Twitter account. We're super relaxed, highly transparent (we can see all of our salaries for instance), and focused on changing the status-quo. I've always been attracted to companies/jobs that go against the grain and do things differently.
Also, I think the future of work/careers looks like brands empowering employees to build their personal brands. I'm attracted to companies/jobs that allow me to build in public, share what we're working on, and proactively build my following.
There is always something new to learn, every single day. I can never get bored or unmotivated. For me, the perfect job is the one that I like but also the one that challenges me the most
I love seeing something grow. Right now, that's my focus on Phovi App
Either the product itself, the user database, the messaging, branding, and more.
Besides, being able to connect with amazing people that are ambitious and want to have a positive impact on other peoples' lives is incredible.
I love that I can do it from any place in the world, as long as I have a computer and an internet connection. I'm also in my 20s, and looking at my parents and family: they have to go to work every single day, even in the pandemic, because their job cannot be done remotely.
My favorite part about my job is listening to what customers want, then building the product with my team, and then putting it in the hands of customers.
I love the following about being an author: embracing creativity, realising my life's purpose, continuous inspiration, happiness through innovation, and simply being who I am.
For me, it's definitely the autonomy I get to experiment with different strategies. Social media algorithms are constantly and the best part is trying out different marketing mix till you find one that suits your needs best. I work in a B2b SaaS company.
I believe the future is full of apps and personally I have seen amazing success in independent app development in my past. So I am always proud to be an App developer irrespective of the development platform !
And I love building it. So I chose to become an app developer.
What I love about my job is every morning when I wake up, I don't dread to the pending works. I look forward to work everyday( I do take break also), because I am doing what I love. One thing what I have learnt the hard way is your job/work should suit you mentally. If there is mismatch, a persons starts behaving erratic.
Personal take: the best part about a job - any job really - is the people you're interacting with because of it. It definitely helps that I am working as a communicator in a challenging, hyper-niche segment (legaltech). Adrenaline every day.
