Looking back at those five years!

I have suddenly realized that I have completed five years in IT. I had a sudden urge of ranting my experience so far. I think the trigger point is the book 'The passionate programmer'. Here I go: I started as a fresher in Wipro Technologies. My first client was Convergys. I was trained in ABAP and till day I am an Abaper. I was hyperactive in my first project. I remember an incident when a fellow coder estimated an object for few days and I had thought "Why is she taking days, I can sit down and finish it today". With time, I have gained understanding as to why she estimated it for few days! I started my career with HR ABAP. I remember, I used to go to office on holidays to debug and understand the BSP Application, I was supposed to fix bugs or do changes in. I was very naive and not aware of IT culture when you have to follow "Your boss is always right". I have learnt it the hard way and also perhaps by reading different books. My next project was in Insurance domain. The client was Lloyds. I must say, that has been the best team I have had so far.
I had an excellent lead who motivated me and entrusted me always. There were lot of challenges that I faced in that project but it taught me most parts of ABAP. There were many breathtaking moments in that project but I enjoyed and overcame every such moment victoriously. Till date, I meet my ex-colleagues from that project.
I moved on from Wipro and switched my job to Keane, now NTT DATA. I did not much like the change in initial days but gradually got used to it. I have spent two years in Keane India by now and the journey has been good so far. I have added few new skillet to my CV. My current client is Honeywell and I have visited my client site once. After joining Keane I have become an active member of a well known site known as SCN which has added many different people and perspectives in my life and all of them are very good rather fantastic.
So far, if I look back at those five years, I find that exciting, challenging and most importantly full of fun. I hope future years add to the fun and bring new set of challenges.
