It has been five months since I last wrote a blog post here. That means, I’ve been pretty busy with a few other stuff backstage. One of them is being asked to become a (technical) partner at a relatively new IT company, which I immediately said “yes” to.

This weekend 10 years ago I made a last-minute decision to participate in an event called Startup Weekend. Little did I know, that this event impacted my career choice big time. Since then, from a simple database administrator I went on to become a project manager, a freelancer and consultant, created a startup (and failed), application manager and head of IT. Not only that, I managed to get to meet great people, whom I still follow or connect with in social media up until now.

Not too long ago,  only a handful companies (at least in Germany) offered their employees a possibility to work from home, without having to provide legitimate reasons (acceptable reasons are usually kids sick,  wait for a package or plumber, or have to go to a car mechanic near home).

But, as we all know, Corona changed that. We are all in lockdown.
