there are few topics for HW so I'll be happy if you correct me. Job satisfaction is the first one. Job Satisfaction I’m a project manager in IT company that is vendor of a banking system. It seems I’m not such a creative person as designer but I’m always come up with ideas to our heads on how to improve management techniques for our projects. Putting my ideas into practice is what stimulates and rewards me. I don’t like paper work and I remember the time of being chained to a desk when I was a chief accountant. I don't like bureaucracy and red tape so PM is more dynamic job. Project and teamwork, tough negotiations and sense of achievement when I do something new even if being snowed under are all parts of my job satisfaction nowadays. It’s easy for me to get on well with customers, I pay much attention for relationships and ethic. I like to keep all things under control, and if subordinate (team member inside company) is not well disciplined I‘m ready to breath down his neck. Being PM is quite stressful but there is flexibility that our company provides, flexible schedule for example, it’s allowed us to start work not later than 10 am and to go out after 5 pm, average working day has to be not less than 9 hours. PM and implementers, most of the staff have to commute to the office, at the same time analysts, developers can work from home. I get 28 day a year vacation time. As I dislike routine “no two days are the same” is the rule for holidays.
