Switcher`s Fuckup Night completed!

On the last Tuesday of March, there were many stories from the speakers at the Regional Development Agency, and we will share their insights with you:

1️⃣ Working in IT is a constant learning process, you should look for internships and practices everywhere to strengthen your skills and grow on real projects. Also, GD and QA of games ≠ playing games all day long. “There's a lot of work with documentation, permissions, and bugs,” said Danylo Kompaniets, Game Designer at Pam Pam Studio.

2️⃣ From the report of Igor Samusev, Game Designer at Pam Pam Studio, we note: “If you don't have the courage to ask for a raise with the growth of your skills, you won't get it, we are the drivers of change. And high-quality LinkedIn and networking are the way to career growth.”

3️⃣ Pavlo Navrotskyi, SFCC BED Speroteck Trainee, proved by his own example that it is worth trying and not giving up after rejections. Also, googling what you don't know is not a shame, it's how you learn!

4️⃣ From Olga Gustas, Senior Manuale QA Speroteck, we learned that the role of QA is underestimated, as this profession is considered the “easiest” way to get into IT. However, this is far from the truth!

5️⃣ Dmytro Levoshych, CEO of QubeSoft, told about communication failures with clients and colleagues, including a story about how a “bold” response created a lot of negative pressure on the company.

We thank the speakers for their openness and the participants for their support. See you in April. As always, on the last Tuesday of the month! 🤩
