A friend invited me to apply as a software developer, so I did. When I got the results from the assessment test – the examiner informed me that I failed the exam but suggested me a QA position. I immediately jumped on the opportunity without knowing what QA was. The manager offered me that opportunity in the company as he knew my learnability. Nokia provided training, coaching, and mentoring, and I enjoyed the work. As I developed my knowledge, an architecture and specification position opened, and I was excited about it. But I thought I was not yet ready for the role. I consulted my manager about it and asked for his opinion, and he encouraged me to go for it and to try it out. Fast forward to hardship and several leaps of faith, and I am excited to grow and try new things. This year I started my new position. Looking back, I am grateful to mention three key points: 1. Don’t be afraid to try new things. There’s no additional knowledge if you already know it – what is QA? 2. Develop your knowledge. Learning is a never-ending process: if you don’t know – study! 3. How will you know if you don’t try? You might regret it one day if you haven't tried.

What do you like about your job and the company?
As part of a research and development team where our motivation is to find a new solution, where creativity flows, and where collaboration is key to the continuous improvement of technology, I'm enjoying my work environment. That's exciting to be part of and see the shape of communications evolve from a simple GSM to 5G (and 6G is on its way!) Finding a new solution to improve the current technology includes reading and research. Sometimes what you need is already around the corner. Why should you reinvent the wheel if it already exists and is free to use – use it. Creativity flows to provide a relevant design solution that would satisfy the problem at hand. You should review all design possibilities, such as the sunny day and the failure scenarios. And lastly, the collaboration with different domains to discuss, optimize, evaluate and finalize the solution.
