What do you like about your job and the company?

Product development and improvement is a long, but very exciting process. QA need to understand other people ideas, analyse the way how these ideas are implemented and whether these meet end user needs. Sometimes you need to argue, persuade, start everything from scratch multiple times. It is a real pleasure to look back at work that has been done till actual product release and hear positive feedbacks from people using that product. Another exciting part is automation process. Manual testing of some areas may take weeks. The team is delighted when you manage to design a process that allows to run same tests automatically within an hour and that makes you feeling great, too.

Greatest achievements

There was a new enhancement implemented for LGH application that helps users to control the trades they insert and positions they already hold based on the rules they define themselves. This enhancement was then integrated to other related products like Oder Generation and FMDesktop. It required (and keeps requiring as we keep adding more functionality to this) explicit testing knowing and understanding how the new compliance enhancement works and how the other calculations are done within LGH. Another step here - I have managed to automate part of regression testing for this enhancement and there are even more ideas how to expand the coverage of the automated tests.

Top Insider Advice

Prioritizing self-care is about intentionally dedicating time and resources to your own physical, mental, and emotional health. It involves creating habits and routines that support your overall health and balance. It is important because it helps maintain your energy levels, reduces stress, and improves overall well-being. When you make self-care a priority, you enhance your ability to perform effectively in both personal and professional settings. Well-rested and balanced individuals approach their work with greater focus and creativity, which boosts productivity and job satisfaction. Essentially, it isn’t just about feeling good, it’s about equipping yourself to perform at your best in all aspects of life. So, don't minimize it, because who doesn’t want to be their best, most energized self both at home and at the office ?

Life (personal and professional) is truly a winding road. It is never straight ahead, paved perfectly, or timed exactly. As you move forward through your career, do your job the best you can and be curious enough to keep learning along the way. Eventually through experience, trial and error, and knowing yourself, you will find your place, discover where you want to be, and create the balance you seek in life.
