Your Workstation

It's important to set aside a space for your work, whether at an office or at home! What is your current working configuration, and what practices are you implementing to ensure your success going forward? What challenges do you anticipate facing with transitioning into a new career?

My current workstation:

  • 2012 MacBook Pro 13-inch
  • 24-inch External Monitor
  • Custom PC build
  • M3 Pro MacBook provided by the host company

Some things I'm doing to ensure success include:

  1. Setting multiple alarms! (lol)
  2. Eating a good breakfast or lunch to keep my energy up
  3. Checking my email at least once an hour to stay on top of things
  4. Managing my availability for meetings and keeping track of my calendar
  5. Studying new technologies and coding daily to stay sharp

What challenges do you anticipate facing with transitioning into a new career?

  1. Learning the new tech stack
  2. Getting acquainted with the tools we'll be using beyond coding languages
  3. Understanding the ticket system and managing my time effectively
  4. Adapting to the new schedule and workflow of my team
  5. Finding the right work-life balance
  6. Navigating imposter syndrome and managing anxieties about my current level
