Just my life and QA
Be proactive. Remember Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People? The first main habit is proactivity. There is no doubt that you can get your stripes for seniority, get under the arm of a manager at the right time, and rise sharply. However, you cannot get the knowledge and skills this way.

It had both superb corporate culture and a friendly atmosphere. I have worked for this company for a very long time. Together […]
