My Career oriented Achievements and Personal failures over last 7 years

I was seeing some of the posts in linkedin about what people learnt in their past 5 years. I also wanted to make such post but at the same time, I want to emphasize about failures as well. Felt that might be more personal, so instead of LinkedIn I'm keeping it in my personal blog. 

From worldly point to view, only who achieves can preach about failures. I might not be a Bill gates or Jeff bezos, but in my circumstances I achieved something that I feel I'm proud of (infact everybody should feel the same). so I want to showcase my achievements along with some preachings about my failures. May be one day my failures can help others in one way or other. 

For achievements timeline I'll go in Top to bottom approach. 

2021 -  Honed all my skills and Joined Verizon Media Services (Yahoo) as Technical Architect in Enterprise Architects team by denying uk chance given by TCS. Due to my health/laziness I tried only 10 days for job and given around 20+ rounds of interviews to 6 companies. Got offers in 5 out of them. Choose Verizon Yahoo. 

2020 - Learnt React, Redux, GraphQL, Typescript. Understood e-commerce and diagnostic applications very well. Bought a home. Stabilized my lifestyle and habits. Included exercises, practicing peace and reduced food in take.

2019 - went hard on ES6, Bootstrap, SCSS, less. Joined Apple as direct contractor from TCS. This gave me immense chance to understand how applications used by millions are actually built right from the scratch. Bought a bike. 

2018 - First time explored JS world. Studied Node.js, Angular 4. Wanted to make career of it. 

2017 - became an expert in Perl, PL/sql and joined Oracle after 4 tech rounds. Waited for the offer for 1 year. denied Infosys germany chance and joined Oracle. Achieved it. 

2016 - life was tough that year as love mrg is always tough in India. Had to discuss and manage many people that year. Achieved it. 

2015 - Getting back to Hyderabad was my target as I was posted in Pune after initial training in Infosys. Achieved it. 

2014 - getting a job straight after engineering was my priority because of my relationship commitments. Got placed in infy and was hell afraid of Infy training in Mysore and also afraid of weather in Mysore. Adjusted in Mysore and cleared Mysore training without any remedial. Achieved it.  

These are my brief career oriented Achievements and for Failures timeline I'll go in bottom up approach.

2014 - When everyone is enjoying in Infy Mysore campus by roaming around and watching movies, I was just gripped in fear of failure in exam. I didn't go to single movie or many trips. I should have enjoyed when I had opportunities. No need to fear. 

2015 - When I was posted in Pune, I had too much of negativity on Pune and hated every minute there. May be I could have enjoyed a bit of time there to avoid extra bit of stress on me. 

2016 - This is the year for peak of stress in me. Going too hard on personal relationships will only backfire on your mental health. We need to be cool and wise with our close acquaintances.  In stress, I bunked office. I ate biryanis every day. I slept at late in the night. 

2017 - In oracle, I thrived for work. I didn't know that product based companies generally operate slow. I hurried myself and others, only to corner myself in the office. I should have taken it slow and cool. 

2018 - Hurrying myself on every activity of life and expecting everything to be perfect is a mental disorder. During my marriage and reception, I absolutely had that. I rushed my people for everything. I asked them for perfection. This lead to stress and anxiety in me. 

2019 - In Apple, I worked too late. Work should end by 7-8pm but I used to work till 2am. I enjoyed my work but keeping brain busy till 2am was end of my body's resistence. Also, for my new home I rushed the builders for the perfection. I have kept idealistic expectations on people which doesn't hold good often. I could have just let them do what they can do.

2020, 2021 - learnt all my lessons and started to work on my bad habits. I couldn't say I overcame them but I'm working also making new mistakes 😉

I would also love to read other's successes and failures because I'm a damn believer of "Even a greatest person will have stupidest failures". so afterall we all will have some failures and successes. Share me your stories, I will be more than happy to read and enjoy them. 😃
