Where to go where to work and what is the best for you?
let me talk about myself here,
I studied Computer science as my major and banking and finance as a minor.
while studying at university you keep on dreaming that you will find the perfect job
directly after you finish as you carry a computer science degree!!!
then reality hits!!!
the Jordanian market is fully occupied with people holding the same degree, and the salaries scales are very low!
you get confused and lost, is it fair to work for 180JD ?? is this what I spent 4 years for?? just 180JD!!!
that is not enough for me to go and come back from work!!
was computer science the wrong major I went into??
then I decided to change my stream after reading books for months while sitting home, and all in vain!
sales sales sales we will pay you good, you will get extra money as you work harder, and you will meet with many people!
Thats good i guess, screw programming and all software companies who’s wanting to suck my blood!

journey starts here,
at first I didn’t care whether if its a big or a small company! I just cared about money!
so if you are a freshman search for a big company not a startup one, even if they pay less, the reason you will get to know many good and stupid people.
from people you will have the chance to learn from their experience, just avoid stupid people
you will learn to be more disciplined, and you will in many cases understand how business runs the company, you will understand the structure of the company, and you will know exactly what you need to do to improve your title and salary, plus it will increase your chances to get interviews in other companies.
at first I was happy new work new experience, but! after this i start to feel numb this is not what I want this job is killing me, sales for losers! its the job for people who is not willing to do anything about their lives, after a year its the time to search for a better job, it must be sales again cause I am 1 year late on IT field
here you will have the choice to continue your life with this job or just stop and start again!
I was stupid not to stop here!!! Always stop when you hate the job cause your life will be a hell!!!
I decided to search for a job out of Jordan and it was sales also!! I had the chance to work in Dubai with a very big bank, as we agreed in the contract I will do something I like, but after I got there it was totally a different thing but I stayed!!!
always make sure the contract is clear and fine, and when you start the job and its different than the contract directly stop and leave!
time is precious really, i just realized this lately!!
after spending another year I reached a point in which I couldn’t take it anymore, so I decided to back and start a new life a new Job faraway from banks and sales!
my station got sensitive and critical here, I need to improve it now!
so as my major was computer science I guess I need to come back to it, as the IT sector got bloomed within the past 2 years.
so always stick with the major degree you get cause you spent 4 years from your life to make it!
so the best thing was is start studying the market and companies with my IT peers.
always ask your friends and people with experience and always avoid your mother and father as they will never understand what the hell is going on!
after asking and seeking I decided to go in the WEB stream, and I will learn again PHP, searched the web for the best books; got it; and start learning like if I was a freshman
Always have faith in what you are doing, and if you have the willingness you will make it for sure!
I wont talk more I guess this is enough
Thank God I came back to my major, now am a senior developer with a very big company called maktoob
