Top Insider Advice

You don't need to have 1000 goals, you just need a couple and to know exactly what those are, to articulate a clear road map out to get there and then doing your best is the right thing to do, knowing that we couldn't do better and that the current outcome is the profit of our hard work. Then, by creating a friendly and great environment you will never feel that you are working but just cooperating and having a good time with your mates.

Top Insider Advice

You don’t need to know everything from day one. What we value most is your attitude — curiosity, honesty, and a genuine willingness to learn. In IT, technical skills will always matter, but they’re just one part of the puzzle. No one expects perfection. What truly makes a difference is your openness to ask for help, your readiness to share knowledge, and your ability to collaborate with others. Honest communication and strong teamwork lead to the best outcomes. Stay curious, stay determined — with the right mindset, no challenge is too big to take on.

Top Insider Advice

Beyond talent, I have realized that we need so much more to have a very successful career. Realizing a dream can take longer and include setbacks. From my personal experience, I have noticed that being open, resilient, flexible, and having an attitude to serve helps immensely. While aspiring to grow, we need to prepare well with concrete homework. Having the right attitude and a prompt, service mindset is crucial. One has to keep learning (and unlearning) and be prepared for the next big thing. As an example, while you are working on 5G, start preparing yourself for 6G. On the softer side, empathy and humility should be key attributes to be practiced. Managing emotions and being mindful play a huge role. Transparent communication and openness towards the multi-cultural and virtual environment are very important. Staying motivated and being a change management leader is critical. Find time to build your personal brand and network. Look for a suitable mentor who can make your journey smoother. Finally, never compromise on your Integrity, continue to build relationships, and grow trust.
