How To Find The Best Software Project For Your Personality

Ever get the feeling the software project you’re on clashes with your personality? Does the way people work together seem very different than you? Have you had a great experience on one project, only to start enough and feel miserable? If this has ever happened to you, I hope today’s episode helps you avoid this. Depending on the stage of a software product’s life cycle, you may or may not be the right fit for a team. This has nothing to do with the programming technology stack, operations procedures, or software development process. It has more to do with your goals and preferences at this single moment in your career. I explain how the early, growth, and sunset stages of a typical software product’s profit life cycle impact your happiness. Armed with this information, you can make the best decision in your software development career and hopefully find the perfect software project.
