Freedom at work
Rabea Gransberger: Yes! I have the same feelings about other software development positions, as well, because in my current position, I can just do what I like and also decide on the future for my team.
"If I took that kind of job, the company would send me to conferences and I wouldn't have the freedom to decide to go to a conference."
—Rabea Gransberger
With many other positions out there at well-known companies, which regularly sponsor conferences, there will always be a booth at a conference and those people will have to do some booth duty. I wouldn't want to do that. If I took that kind of job, the company would send me to conferences and I wouldn't have the freedom to decide to go to a conference. It's actually my decision now.
When I talk to other developers at a conference, many of them say that they were sent there and they don't really enjoy what they're doing. They could be developer advocates...
