My day is certainly different from the so-called normal, average work day. I am an INDEVOPS Fellow, a student and swimmer at an American university. Thanks to my passion for the sport, my good swimming performance and my studies, I got the opportunity to go to college in the US and received a scholarship to pay for school.
It’s not an easy road, but thanks to the effort I put in to overcome it I’m successful and can develop myself comprehensively
Each day I have a very heavy workload and I have to stick to the plan to achieve my goal.
My morning training starts at 5:45 a.m. and lasts until 7:30 a.m. As early as 8:00 a.m. I start lectures that last until noon. The learning system in the US is very different from that of Poland. It requires a lot of discipline and your own #organization of work. At 4:45 p.m. it’s time for another workout which lasts until 6:15 p.m. Every other day I also have a gym, which I start at 3:30 p.m. During the season it’s about 20 hours of training a week In the afternoon I have time to take a break and review the tasks that have been received for completion from my #Indevops team. I review what happened in the #company the previous day and start taking action. Thanks to the good management of the whole team, I can do #projects that do not require constant support and constant interaction with clients. However, if some tasks require the help of colleagues, I ask questions in the tasks we collaborate on and have an answer the very next day. The rest of the team can focus 100% on other projects. The only downside is that I don’t have much contact with the #team, as I miss most meetings, e.g., #daily or client meetings due to the 6-hour time difference. On the other hand, on #review and on #planning I try to be so I am up to date and know what to focus on in a given #sprint. I believe that #communication in the team is at a very high level. I can always count on the support of colleagues and quick response. I am glad that I got the opportunity to work in INDEVOPS thanks to this I can develop and support the Polish market. Many people ask me why I don’t want to work in the US. Unfortunately, after 3 years here, I think I don’t fit into the current culture of life and way of working, and I associate my future with Poland.
INDEVOPS is a fast growing company that reached out to me and trained me so that I always have something to come back to when my educational adventure in the United States is over.
