Looking back at my Twenty Twenty blog post, it’s crazy how life has changed for me and how I, as a person, have changed. During the past 4 years so many things have happened that I would have to write a 20 page essay to capture it all, but I wanted to at least give a few highlights on how it has been going for me and hopefully look into what the future can possibly hold!
I was one of the lucky few in the tech industry to not be affected by layoffs, in fact, I have gotten promotions through-out the past 4 years. I decided to take a shot at managing engineers and it has been my calling ever since. In the past 4 years i’ve managed 4 different teams, faced many challenges, and accomplished a lot. I’m thankful for my experience at my current job and the level of growth I have exprienced in the past 6.5 years of my career!
And what do you know, the person who wrote that Twenty Twenty blog post is definitely not the same person writing this post. I’ve changed a lot, not just personality-wise, but also through life circumstances as well. At the time I was single and not even in the dating scene, COVID didn’t make that part easier either, but now I’m a married man and about to celebrate our first anniversary. Lot’s of things can change in 4 years, you never realize it until you sit down and write about it.
In my Twenty Twenty post, I wrote about how I didn’t know what the future holds, well that remains true today. The only difference is now I have the super power of reflection and I can confidently say, dear Ali, that things did not get worse! Well done buddy, amazing predictions.
Since my record of predicting the future is 1/1, or commonly known as 100% success rate, I have a pretty good feeling that what I’m about to predict is going to come true! First of all, you will buy a house, you will probably move someplace nice, you will switch jobs and you will be content!
Yours truly,Four years between updates is insane, and I cannot promise a more frequent update schedule, but it’s been fun reflecting on the past. See you next time!
