Newcastle united has finally changed owners and exciting times lie ahead :)
Updates in life
The transition into a role as a worker with experience is something new. No more are we allowed to have the luxury of asking many questions that might appear as if we lack knowledge, but we are now judged on being able to give accurate answers to the queries posed to us as subject matter experts. The burden gets heavier as the solutions that we have to come up with needs to have that extra longevity (ie, it is not just about solving the issue at this instant moment, but effort has to be catered to think how the impact will be in 5 years time, 10 years time, etc).
It is exciting yet burdensome at the same time. Exciting because it is a new phase of growth, burdensome because of the fear that always lingers.. 'what if I screw this up?' I guess it is a by-product of our education system, whereby we are thought to give perfect 10 year series answers. Any deviation or slight mistakes will make one feel so inadequate as a person.
Part of my jobscope now entails making presentations to the seniors/manager who will critic/give opinions on the solution design. I have been spending a considerable amount of time thinking about how to make the presentation effective, so that the stakeholders can understand it and hopefully agree on it in the short amount of time we have.
Lots of effort are needed to simplify the design as well as think and justify the reason for having that development in place.
It has been a stretch.
On finances
Crossed the milestone set for year 2022 in terms of savings. A small step :)
