Like projects, careers aren't static and they definitely have their ups and downs. And while work isn't the most important thing in life, it does take up a sizeable amount of our time. So how can you remain excited to go to work every morning?
In this talk, Jeroen will reflect back at his decade long software development career. We'll have a laugh at all the poor choices he made, see how luck tends to shape the most pivotal moments and even have an open conversation about the absolute lows.
From leading a 14+ people team, to becoming a GDE, starting his own business, doing remote work being 9(!) timezones ahead and having three lovely children... It makes for an interesting story, but not a silver bullet to a happy career. Hopefully though, Jeroen's experiences and failures may help you make better choices.
