I am currently working as a software engineer in a midsized company. I am 26 years and work as a software engineer for about 5 years now (excluding apprenticeship). I like my work and I like technical stuff. Lately I thought a bit about myself and what I wanna do and I guess I am now at a point where I know myself way better.
A few months ago I would have introduced myself as a software engineer and an athlete (I competed in powerlifting). That changed. Software engineering and powerlifting are just things I can do, hopefully, good and enjoy in the process. But thats not who I am. I like to think of myself as beeing an enabler. Someone who wanna help others improve. At the gym I always like to help others, give them tips and are happy if it works out for them. At my job its the same. If someone has a question or needs help otherwise, I try my best to help.
Currently I am looking for a new job opportunity (not really applying but looking around). But I am not sure for what I should look. I thought of something like a team lead position or something like that. My idea behind this is, that for me a team lead is a person who enables his team to work good. That sounds like a match for me. But I am not completely sure that this is really what I want. With this post I hope to get some additional ideas from people who read this. I would love that :) So, if anything comes to mind, please share with me :) Thanks!
