What is it like working as a Software Engineer?
September 2015
People skills are more important than technical skills.
Software Engineer:
1. Learn to be patient with yourself. You are going to struggle with things no matter how smart you are. Read a book on “Imposter syndrome”.
2. Give yourself time to explore the best practice approach of doing things. If you don’t you will get the immediate job done, but in the future you will get stuck in a mire of spaghetti. Once you master the best practice, then you can deviate from it.
3. Learn how to sell and negotiate. Read a book or do a course. Or both. This is essential for advancement.
4. Understand corporate mentality. Read the book “Corporate Confidential”. Its nails it.
5. Share information freely: Never guard it jealously and give others credit wherever possible, take the blame when the buck stops with you . From this you will form a team that trusts you and you will go to bat for you.
