I Quit My Job

After 12 years of working as a GIS specialist / Consultant, I quit and I am ready to move on.

Looking back at the last 12 years if I could go back in time and give myself some advice I would tell myself these 8 things.

• Boring Work won’t necessarily lead to interesting work

• Getting good at something typical leads to doing more of that thing

• Have more empathy for the professionals that you work with

• Think more about where you are trying to go

• Network

• Find a mentor

• Sometimes it's just not a good fit

• You don’t get to decide what is broken

Things I need help with

• Share the podcast with a friend, a community anyone that you think might find it interesting or helpful

• I am looking for projects based on or around OpenStreetMap - this is part of a promotional campaign that I am doing together with OpenCage (opencagedata.com) - More information here (blog.opencagedata.com/post/partnering-with-map…)
