Hi, my name is Eulices, and I'm from Costa Rica. My question is, what is the best and worst part about your job?
I have been a software engineer for more than 10 years now. And, the best part about my job is that I have got to meet a lot of very smart people from a technical standpoint, but they are very good with computers and programming. And also, from a business and communication standpoint, they make communication with clients and negotiations very simple to understand and very beneficial for my job. So, that's the good part. The bad part is that it's very much of an office work. You spend a lot of time sitting down in front of a computer. And, even when you are more involved in the business side than the technical side, you still spend a lot of time writing emails and managing resources with other partners of your company. So, it's a very sedentary job.
