#23 of 87 in Information Technology
I am currently in a technical role where I am working on a longer term project. My day-to-day involves a lot of programming and problem solving, but also collaboration and stakeholder engagement.
Although there are some tasks that do not change from day-to-day such as managing inboxes and answering a hotline, there have been some unique projects that have been assigned to me which has challenged me to improve both my technical and communication skills.
Day to day activities involve working towards Sprint goals depending on what work is needed to complete. For example I have recently been working on developing Inclusion Dos and Dont posters, reviewing guidance documents, presenting our policy, conducting discovery research and general admin work to ensure operations of the team work effectively.
I like my work but there is not enough of it. I have had many, many days were I have only had about 3-4 hours of actual work to do and have spent the rest reading about relevant things in an attempt to use my spare time constructively. I then feel bad for not doing more work even though there was no more work to do.
