How do you measure and evaluate your personal and professional success?
As an associate software developer, I define success by the positive impact I can create through my work. A recent success was when I was assigned the lead developer role for an intricate project with one of our largest clients in Berlin, which challenged me to utilize and expand both my technical and management skills.
Another significant measure of success for me is the tangible results from my efforts. In this project, we launched the client's app ahead of schedule without any major bugs. The positive feedback from the client and the measurable gains in user adoption of the app gave me a sense of significant accomplishment.
Yet, I also see success in my growth as a professional, honing technical skills and developing new capabilities. The more expansive my skill set, and the more effectively I can contribute to my team and company, the more successful I feel.
