I complete two years at Accenture today. They say your job is not your life, it's not what defines you. But I can safely say I was never happier at a job.
Spending two years at a job is a milestone for sure, but somehow it does not feel like it.
While the world has undergone a sea of change, I feel like my life has never been more tranquil. Right about now, I LOVE my life.
Some days are better than others for sure, but then again isn't that how life is supposed to be.
I think this is a very good place and today is a very good day to reflect on my journey. When I first joined I was not very sure if I was a good fit for this role, and I was just about learning the ropes when the entire scheme of domestic life changed.
Earlier, my day started with getting up and getting my son ready for school and then rushing back, having a quick breakfast and heading towards our individual offices. The nest one or two hours would be spent in our cars, cursing the traffic and listening to mindless radio. The day would rush past and then the evening would see me scrambling to pick Koko up from daycare, getting home and preparing for dinner. So went the days. In a flash a week had gone by.
But then things changed and I paused. Koko does school in the corner of the room now. There is no traffic and no rush as such. But is it really so?
My learning curve has been amazing, I have learnt so much and really honed the art. I can safely say I have created a space for myself and people know me for what I am and what I do. I am not afraid to say I love my job, because I really do. I am so lucky to be able to be in a position where my decisions can really make a difference in someone's life and at the end of the day, even if I am stretching - if I am able to see that I have made a difference for the better, it makes me a happy person.
Does it not have it's low days - of course not! Some days I feel like shit, but I have learnt to take it in my stride, and most importantly, today is not that day :)
