Dana’s Answer

Hi Stanley,

There are many. Here are a few significant ones that have always stood out for me:

  1. Opportunities are endless: this is a field where you can find work in just about any industry, particularly if you pursue software development. We use software in entertainment, gaming, business, education, medical, commerce, communications - its everywhere. Jobs are always in high demand and the pay is great.
  2. Continued learning and growth: There are countless levers for continued learning and growth. In addition to move between industries along your career path, there are many different areas and progressions within software development for you to also evolve into as you gain experience.
  3. Impact: You can select projects, industries, etc you are passionate about, knowing the software you develop is being used - sometimes at massive scale - and for a wide spectrum. At Twilio, our platform is used by non profit agencies, medical applications, private business, any application that requires communication channels with its audience.

G. Mark’s Answer

Enjoyment, a feeling of accomplishment, money, a skillset with a multitude of applications and businesses, an opportunity to branch out into related fields, and a high probability of employment. Other than that, not much.

debra’s Answer

I love that we create things that make a difference in the world. We have seen some amazing examples of our customers using our products to help make people’s lives better which is a wonderful feeling.

Technology is always changing. It is a great field for constant learning. I have never felt static, bored or not challenged.

There is a wide range of job opportunities. You can spend time focused very specifically on technology (SW or HW development), or take on management of teams or program management, or a customer focus with Product Management or solutions, and many of the business leads started off with an engineering background. You can change between these areas over your career adjusting to your changing interests over time.
