What do you enjoy most about being in your role?
What do I enjoy most? I think every day is different. I'm somebody who thrives in what I guess I describe as controlled chaos.
The really fun part about new things every day is that it keeps me stimulated. In all the other jobs I've had in the past, every day felt predictable. Even quarters and months would go by because I knew exactly what needed to happen and how things were going to work out.
Honestly, it's just the constant uncertainty. If this isn't your cup of tea, don't dive into something like this. But definitely the uncertainty and being able to solve problems with little to no information is a lot of fun for me.
