I can’t exactly relate to being forced into the overworking situation that PirateSofware is talking about.  I can relate to being conditioned to feeling a certain way and changing that is very difficult.  I can also relate to not feeling like I am getting enough done in the day.  Sometimes a bit of separation is good.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;div class=&#34;admonition note&#34;&gt;&#xA;&lt;p class=&#34;admonition-title&#34;&gt;Note&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This post is a &lt;a href=&#34;/thoughts/&#34; class=&#34;wikilink&#34; data-title=&#34;Thoughts&#34; data-description=&#34;These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a rare few don&amp;#39;t have a link.

There is no guide that will tell you the best way to get your companies salesforce data, alongside of the ERP data and present it to the users who need to know in a way that compels them to make the right decisions.  You are going to have to build this out for yourself by piecing together knowledge about each subject.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;div class=&#34;admonition note&#34;&gt;&#xA;&lt;p class=&#34;admonition-title&#34;&gt;Note&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This post is a &lt;a href=&#34;/thoughts/&#34; class=&#34;wikilink&#34; data-title=&#34;Thoughts&#34; data-description=&#34;These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a rare few don&amp;#39;t have a link.

If you want to use code repositories for your portfolio.&#xA;Make sure that you have made it unique in some way.  Think about what kind of&#xA;signal you are sending to hiring managers if you are linking to a project with&#xA;no docs, and one commit from 3 days ago.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They don’t have to be PERFECT either, it’s likely that it’s not something you&#xA;were paid to do, hence not able to put your full time into. Just having&#xA;something that generally follows some GOOD practice will set you above most&#xA;other candidates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Make sure that it reflects you as a person.  The worst that can happen is for&#xA;you to hire in based on some false pretense and hate where you end up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;🎨 Make it unique&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;👌 It does not need to be perfect&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;🤏It does not matter how small it is&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⏳ Don’t wait till the last minute&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;👇 Follow Oliver’s advice&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</content>

It is something that I didn’t see myself doing 5 years ago, but is something that I love to do.  It combines my love of data, visualization, story telling, software development, and writing code.  Most of all it allows me to work in a space that promotes learning and creativity.  As a mechanical engineer for a company that has been building equipment for nearly a century the mechanical engineering is very well established I felt that there was not a lot of room for creativity.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;find-your-role&#34;&gt;Find Your Role &lt;a href=&#34;#find-your-role&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I first started as a full time  mechanical engineer&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</content>
