The MapScaping Podcast - GIS, Geospatial, Remote Sensing, earth observation and digital geography

I Quit My Job

Listen Later

After 12 years of working as a GIS specialist / Consultant, I quit and I am ready to move on. 

 

Looking back at the last 12 years if I could go back in time and give myself some advice I would tell myself these 8 things.

 

  1. Boring Work won’t necessarily lead to interesting work
  • Getting good at something typical leads to doing more of that thing
  • Have more empathy for the professionals that you work with
  • Think more about where you are trying to go
  • Network
  • Find a mentor
  • Sometimes it's just not a good fit
  • You don’t get to decide what is broken

    • Things I need help with

    1. Share the podcast with a friend, a community anyone that you think might find it interesting or helpful
  • I am looking for projects based on or around OpenStreetMap - this is part of a promotional campaign that I am doing together with OpenCage - More information here
