I've been a software engineer, a novelist, a journalist, and a manager - and managing developers is easily the trickiest thing I've ever done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had a very interesting career. I get to do amazing things and work with amazing people and travel and learn languages - things most people don't get the opportunity to do.
I've tried to be flexible in my career by doing a little bit of everything and that's worked for me.
What I have done in my nine year career was just a glimpse of what I can do.
I've had a career that is kind of under the radar, but it sure is varied, and I've been so blessed to be able to get paid to do something I love to do.
I am very happily employed as a full-time software engineer; I travel a lot, and I write books along with this here weekly TechCrunch column; and I still find the time to work on my own software side projects.
I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.
My whole career - I have been really lucky.
My career hadn't rocketed to the top of anything, but I've worked consistently and done things I've loved.
I'm extremely lucky that my passion - making and creating - is also my career.
I got a degree in math, from not a good school in Texas, and then I went to work as a software engineer. Just not glamorous at all.
