I work at Ericsson, remote job also.

Everyday, I enter an 8 hours meeting (STC project), starting 00:00 AM and ends 8:00 AM, in which, we (my team (Lebanon), India, China and Saoudi Arabia) discuss the plan and solve any issue that takes place during working hours.

When I was assigned on a project (Airtel Rwanda), my teammate and I were doing a very critical activity to the telecom network.
All managers related to the project along with the customer attended the meeting.
It took place from 00:00 till 10:00 AM.

Btw, you have a typo error: "But, that interesting experince" (missing e to experience)πŸ™„

It seems, being Integration Engineer requires being always present and available.
Actually, when you are a developer it is the same. Especially when you participate in startup.
I was quite used to that, as I was a startup lover.
But, voice daily meetings, that lasted more than 1 hour were making me feel really exhausted.

Thank you, I have fixed my typo. 😊

True. From your article, I can see that you had to respond to many answers, which force you to stay focused during the whole meeting.

Have you ever thought of creating your own startup?

Hahahah yeah noticed that you've correct itπŸ™‚

Well, I am one of those who answers: "I want to build my project!" on the question: "How do you see yourself in 5 years?"
But, actually, now I am happy to represent Aspose - one of the coolest IT companies. I work as Developer Evangelist there. 😊
