A Glimpse Into My Past, Present, and Future
Today marks my 5th year in Traveloka as a software engineer. 5 years ago, I didn't think I will stay this long in one company. Sure, maybe 2 or 3 years working on something, but not half a decade! Millennials are supposed to change jobs often, right?
I didn't even consider working in software engineering until after the last year of college. That's the reason that I have a degree in electrical engineering, not computer science.
