I'm a mid-level manager in product development (for now).  We re-org every 9 months or so.  I work a major telcom on B2B products.

There's very few things i dislike about my job.  I'd say it's probably all the mandatory training we have to do.....and having to support code releases in the middle of the night...grrrr

I honestly had no career plan.  I stumbled into this line of work/industry by impressing the right people.  I was working a help desk job for another telcom and decided to create an XLS with a bunch of VBA that automated a bunch of reporting.  It was just enough to get me referred to a Business Analyst position when my company had to let all their contractors go....fast forward 12 years to now and here I am.

Pretty much how I moved up...  Find a process that took way to much manual time and automate it....     Fix 10,000 accounts in 30 minutes instead of days.  They company loves it...

They wont give you a bonus for time saved but the love it lol
