My original contract was set to expire in December, basically your typical initial 4 month contract. I got feedback today that the customer was satisfied with my contributions and have decided to extend my contract by a year. It's a great work environment. The company has been practicing the Scaled Agile Framework for a while… Continue reading Contract Extension
First paycheck milestone, check!
I started working in September and after working for a month, I invoiced the customer. Since my customer is the consultant broker, their payment terms are plus 5 days that of the end customer who has 30 days.

Celebrating my first month!
One month at ItsyBit AB I made it through the first month of my first assignment on my own and feeling really good about it. I'll be honest, it wasn't always the case, especially two days into the job. This year, I got my Swedish citizenship after living in Sweden for 5 years. In my… Continue reading Celebrating my first month!
