What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
That's a good question. I think the thing I enjoy most is that there's a really high pace of change. The speed at which technology is evolving keeps the industry interesting and allows for more opportunity in my career.
For example, over the last two and a half years, we've seen generative AI, artificial intelligence, and machine learning become a big part of technology platforms. This has accelerated how we view our platform's evolution and how it can better serve our customer community. These are ways we wouldn't have previously considered.
Working in technology, you'll see change happen so quickly. No matter your role or position, you'll have opportunities to grow, change, and shift, and you can try different things.
For me, that's been exciting. It gives you the sense that there are many different things you can work on. If you want to change your career, pivot into a different role, or try something new, the evolution of the tech field will allow you to find your niche.
