What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
The explosive growth of the data center industry, I got lucky. I fell into it, but I would highly recommend it to anyone exploring career opportunities. If you're tangentially interested in any of the fields within the data center industry, consider it.
This includes construction, design, electrical design, land acquisition, and finance. There are many different elements to this industry. The growth is unreal.
