Dear Diary,
I gave a really good solution to a problem to my senior managers today. Felt good about it. They were discussing over an issue but couldn't come up with a good solution, then something clicked and I gave that solution. I will only have to code that though.
Yesterday also my mentor said that I already going so good. It's been around 4 months I am doing development work and I already know so much. I have that confidence inside me that I come up with any solution. I just have to worry about the quality of it. Which again I always take care.
Yes, I had the calibre to do something in like all India level. In mocks, during JEE preparation also, I used to score within top 1000. And in Gate coaching in Delhi ,I used to solve any question which my batch of 200 couldn't solve, even after 2 mins of me solving. This happened in every subject. Once the teacher was so impressed he asked me infront of class if I am this good in all subjects. But I stopped studying after my coaching got over in both JEE and Gate coaching. I wouldn't even open book. I guess I never had enough motivation before. I never found my passion.
But when I code I feel passion. To be honest I already am in one of the best projects in my company. It's great in terms of learning. But I feel I could have started a lot more earlier. I also feel I should have studied cse since the beginning only. Anyways so many bad decisions. But still I caught up really fast. And thankfully I got this project.
But now I want more. The technology I work in the max salary does no go that high it seems. Though I really love doing this. I wish I did something through which I could apply to FAANG. But that doesn't seem like an option. I mean sure Apple does hire SAP consultants too. But I am not really sure. Atleast I want to double my salary by next year. Let's see if I can get there. This salary at the start of this year I dreamt of achieving by my 30s. Now it feels like it's less. I mean I surely will reach there by 30. But I want to reach there sooner.
Today VS sent me a pic of him gymming. He said he does feel a little insecure and wants to be at my level. That's why before meeting me he wants to have 6 pack abs. He hired a personal trianer. But I don't have my pre Covid body anymore 😅 I also need to get back to shape. I exercised on Sunday. But not done it since then. Will do it tomorrow.
Regards,
Anne
