How I have been after almost 2 months.

It is 9:23 in the morning. Came in at 6. Done with morning processes. Waiting for one system to do other work. And then I decided to post a blog. It's been a while. I have been swamped with work. Last May, I had the most number of hours for overtime. But it should take into consideration the adjustment and/or the transition from school to office setting. Also, I should not forget all the system and access problems since my computer is literally empty when I got here.

But now, the earliest time I got to finish work was 11 am. It was yesterday. Maybe I got the hang of doing my work and there weren't issues anymore. It was really great because the target of the team is to really lessen OT hours of employees since they do not want to make slaves out of us. It was really different from where I have done my internship because in one of the conversations of my boss, she told me that one employee wasn't staying longer for work when almost everyone was staying up late to finish work. I guess it wasn't great for them to know that someone from their team is going home after finishing the usual 8-hour shift. But in Deutsche, they encourage you to finish work on the dot because it is so important that we, employees, have work-life balance. Two-thumbs up for Deutsche! : )

Work is relatively easy in our team because it is the "entry level" team. After 4 months or so, we will be deployed to other team doing the real work. As I see work in my team, it serves as a training so we can do much better once deployed. It is a good training because I get to know the sense of all the courses, specifically options and valuations, in college.


Aside from work, I got to meet a lot of people. It was so easy to gel with them. Though I was never a fan of changes, it was so great to have met them. : ) One thing more, in Deutsche we get to have allowance per team where we could spend it on fostering. I do not know if we are pushing through today considering the weather but we are supposed to have a dinner out tonight for our fostering. But yeah, it is so great that the company has people values. : )

I do enjoy work but I cannot truly say that this is the career path I want to take. But it is too early to tell so we shall see. I promise a post in 2 years regarding this. : )
