Business & Management

Managing your most important business: your career!

Siemens Conference space

19th November, 15:00-15:30

Do you have several years of experience in the IT industry and want to see how else you can "go up" professionally? Are you at the beginning of your career and seek a way to learn and grow fast? Are you currently "polishing the university benches with your elbows" and many times feel uncertain if you made the right decision when you chose the current specialty? Are you a manager with a sound career behind you who seeks a different view or a confirmation of your own opinions? This presentation has a little bit for everyone. What do a skilled IT professional, a junior engineer, a student and a seasoned manager have in common? Well, beyond the age, years of experience and the industry or type of company we are working for, we all have a professional career and look for ways to improve it.
