Sam’s Answer
More than anything, I like the opportunity to solve real-world problems and work with others who are passionate about doing the same thing. In nearly every one of my jobs, the products/solutions we created were not just solutions to business needs, but also helped create entirely new categories of entrepreneurs and businesses. They impacted society and touched millions of people on a daily basis. To me, there is a very important difference between something being a job and something being a career. A "job" is something you pursue purely for economic reasons. A "career" is something you dedicate yourself to not just as a way of earning money, but also because you truly care and want to make a difference in the world in a way that is most meaningful to you and where you feel you have the most to give.

Omar,
Thanks for asking this question! I am a recruiter and each day look for talent across the globe for openings. I enjoy helping to change people lives for the better both financially and helping them find work they love. Over the years I have received call backs from people I put to work letting me know where they are in their career today and the impact I had on their lives. I do believe there is greatest form of currency is the positive impact we can have on another persons life! I feel lucky to be a recruiter and grateful for the opportunity to help people.
Jeffrey’s Answer
I most enjoy delivering solutions that have a measurable impact to the bottom line. Early in my career I felt like a cog in a very big machine. After grad school I transitioned to a small software firm then started my firm. I most enjoyed building a business through references. For me, working in and with small to medium business allowed me to have the most impact and career satisfaction.

Hi Omar,
On of the things I like about my job is being able to help people and businesses achieve their goals. Often, our clients have an idea of where they want to go and where they want to be. Where I and my teammates come in to "flesh out" their ideas and provide help where needed. When they are successful, I feel good because I played a small part in that.
The other is being able to continuously learn. As the technology landscape changes, I have to make sure to keep up with it through studying and experimentation. Being able to learn new things and experiment keeps things exciting, and no two days in my job are ever the same.

Hi,
One thing I like the most about my Job is that I get to work on cutting edge technologies and have the chance to work on problems to find solutions. Which gives me great satisfaction to see some issue being solved.
At the same time, it is highly challenging as I have to be updated with new technologies, but it's never boring, to the point that,I never feel the time is moving slowly.

Ana’s Answer
In my current job, I love the collaboration, diversity and how much others show that they care! I am still very new so at this point I am a sponge just soaking this new environment and culture. I am excited for the future and to make an impact in product sustainability. That is what I'm most excited about. Knowing that we can work together to ensure that our future generations have a planet to live on.
Good luck!
