Let me take you back to 2013 when I first joined the Bizom team. I was a Jack of all trades- QA, Support Engineer, and even an Account Manager, you name it! But this was no ordinary job, it was a thrilling ride that helped me shape my career as a full-time QA Engineer.
In the early days, we operated in a resource-constrained environment. Our roles were like a mixed tape – we were responsible for testing, handling clients, visiting them, and a host of other tasks. Srinidhi, Bhupendra, Anoop, and Vidya – these folks were my North Star in the wild world of work. They taught me the ropes of testing, account management, and the technical aspects of the job.
It was like riding a rollercoaster without safety bars, but it was worth the experience. Those were the moments when our team, especially Vasu, Lalit, and Shree, came through for us. Their knowledge and willingness to help weren’t just comforting; they were our lifelines during those chaotic times.
Working with clients like IDS, Hector Beverages, and Oxyrich was an eye-opening experience. We faced technical hiccups, but those face-to-face visits with users – They were gold! We learned what really mattered and fine-tuned our app.
What’s unique about Bizom is its flexibility. One of the best things is that you can work on projects that you are passionate about, and switch between different teams, depending on your interests.
And as time progressed, my role within the organization evolved. I went from wearing many hats to being the QA Lead. This transition was a game-changer in my career. I got into IT because of my electronics background, and I wanted to dive headfirst into a startup and soak in everything about the industry.
In my decade-long journey with Bizom, if there is one thing I’d say to anyone who is just getting started, it’s this: Embrace challenges, don’t box yourself in. Be open to learning from everyone. Stepping out of your comfort zone isn’t just good for you; it’s great for the whole team.
