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?

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.

@yeshaswini Yes, social media can be a challenge at times, but very rewarding.

@yeshaswini You've mentioned 'autonomy', and I would argue that it is key. It gives confidence.
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.

@raunaqvaisoha Raunaq, you nailed that description, that is exactly how I feel about working for a startup.

@raunaqvaisoha I would also say that you can be smart and intentional in your plans. This is the freedom of being in a start-up.
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.

@danielamoitinho I agree, I love that I can meet people like that here. Best of luck with Phovi!
I love about how my code changes people lives. You have to be in a start-up to experience this kinda feelings. And that motivates me to love this job.

@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
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 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.

@paul_nica We are definitely privileged to be able to work from home. Hoping you and your family stay safe.
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.

@ejsnowdon That's awesome! I agree- the community here is truly special :)
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.

@jacksondame Yes, personal brand building is so important these days. Sounds like you have a very fulfilling job! I will check out Teal :)
