I realized SRE is not for me and started grabbing development-like projects and agreements with longer time allotted. I document my work in a way allowing others do changes or continue without me being required to decrypt anything.
The communication question is tricky. It's smooth when it's there but I think I kind of act in a way that accents outside in outside contractor.
I try to soak as little as possible into corporate structures and from the start show that me not being there is not a problem. It's different with every client or company but I always mention upfront focusing issues. Never an issue in EU but some companies in the US looked down on ADHD as some kind of insanity.
I bring results, and in time. In the end it's about being more worth than trouble.
- raptorraver 5y agoThis is inspiring! I just started as a freelancer month ago and it's hard for me to get out from 9-5 mindset. I'm not yet sure if I'm expected to put in full hours or just do my best. At the beginning I worked full days but past couple weeks I've billed 6-7 hours a day with the same input as before. I'm also having ADD but haven't brought it up. Still the honeymoon phase of the new project so it's quite easy to get immersed with my super focus.
- sdoering 5y agoWow. Cool. Like that approach. Two questions. - SRE? - outside in outside contractor? Not sure what these mean. Thanks an awful lot so far.
- hericium 5y agoSite Reliability Engineering and I meant that I'm acting more like an outside contractor than part of a company ("<insert brand> family"). Making friends etc, just not giving in to corporate cultism.
