I have always aimed to delivered my best and make a long lasting impact in the organization I am a part of. After my engineering when I joined Global Analytics as a software engineer I wanted to be one of the top-performing employees and contribute significantly to the business. However working on a completely new framework (Python and Django) with other new joiners who had a prior exposure to the same in their college took a toll on my confidence. It took a lot of time for me to grasp the concepts – while an IITian did a task in 2 hrs I would take 1 day to do the same work. It was becoming increasingly difficult to be at par with other new joiners and in the initial months I could not see myself making a mark in the organization
Soon I realized that the more I focus on my problems, the more zoomed in they will be. I realized I should stop feeling miserable about this and do something to improve. The next months saw me working for almost 15 hours. I would work for the organization for about 8-9 hrs and spend the remaining time for self-learning – Python, Django, Javascript, CSS, Bootstrap – everything that was needed for a smooth execution from my end. I took up online courses, saw tutorials and ensured to build a strong base before I run humongous code for the company. Soon I started to get comfortable with the entire existing code base and new features development seemed like a piece of cake. I had to give up on a lot for the first few months – sleep, hanging out, travelling etc but the day I received “The Spirit In Value Award for Execution Excellence” I knew it was all worth it.
