> You communicate naturally, so I encourage you to find a job where you can talk with a lot of different people every day. That will also help expose you to more and different things.
I guess product-related (PO, PM), UX-related or business-developer/sales jobs, maybe for tech companies
A process I like to use and that might be helpful to you is what I call "Technical Initiatives".
The idea is to allow everyone to suggest and implement technical improvement by providing a process to do so. For each idea, the owner fills a spec to describe it. The main ideas are:
- Be transparent on what we want to do and our issues, the doc should be public and comments-friendly
- Follow an advice process by proactively asking people to improve or challenge the idea
- Always have by a trial with time boundaries and goal
A template could look like this:
- Owner: Name
- Title: to easily speak about it
- Reviewers: people who should definitely have a look
- Summary
- Why: Describe what are the issues with the current process, the bugs or similar.
- What is the change
- How to implement the change
- Duration of the trial
- What should we've achieved at the end of the trial
In your situation, it might be something like:
- WAthrowaway
- Staging env
- Reviewers: Founder, Senior Eng #1...
- Setup a staging environment
- We encountered critical issue #1 on October 1st, issue #2 on October 2nd
- A staging environment would allow to catch this bugs before it is on production
- 1. Create a staging env 2. Create a staging branch 3. block push on master 4. PR staging / master
- 1 month
- Critical issues happen on staging and not on master
Apparently, they're planning on charging only for team features.

We help retailers (Groupe Casino, Groupe Auchan, Groupe Cora…) and hundreds of consumer brands (Groupe Seb, Nestlé…) to get value from their data. We provide a platform built on top of a domain ontology. This graph allows us to represent large datasets (products catalogs, retailers historical data…) into a very expressive language and develop services based upon them: semantic search engine, recommendations, advertisement… We are a dedicated and dynamic team of engineers, computer scientists and technicians passionate about statistics, machine learning and cutting-edge technologies, working closely with a business team obsessed with the product. We seek sharp and open-minded data & computer scientists.
And also take a moment to pause and ask yourself why other people want that thing for you. You may be missing something.
Often people around you like parents or siblings only want to help you, I totally agree that theirs opinions is not necessarily the good ones but you should also try to understand them
