Day to Day

First thing in the AM I review my emails and prioritize them on criticality, review my daily meetings and organize my work for the day. Then I have a stand up meeting with the offshore team to discuss progress and impediments. I make my rounds around my team to see if I can assist or resolve any roadblocks for them. Next I usually have an 11:00 am sprint planning or grooming meetings. More meetings in the afternoon and answer emails and review projects quality progress.

Advice for Getting Started

Here's the first step for college students

First one needs to figure out what is it that they enjoy doing, then incorporate that passion (hobby) it into a career. This career could be working for yourself or someone else. As long as you are doing what you enjoy best, work will never be work for you. It will always be fun. One must pursue their passion, no matter if you are not good at it. as long as you continue to do it over and over again, through repetition, you will succeed.
