3 Years at Amazon: Embracing Change and Crafting My Career Journey 🚀

Three years ago, I accepted a job offer from Amazon, and boy, what a ride it’s been! As I toast to this milestone, let’s dive into the top 3 lessons that have been game-changers for me.

Lesson #1: Embrace Change, Explore New Horizons 🌟

Kicking off my Amazon stint in financial planning for cross-border fulfillment was both exhilarating and daunting. But that’s where the magic lies, right? Fast forward to today, I’ve swapped roles, relocated cities, and now I’m in the entertainment industry.

Moral of the story? Embrace change! Venture into the unknown, expand your toolkit and witness those horizons widen.

Lesson #2: Be the Trailblazer 💪

The idea of moving to Seattle for my first role felt out of line with my career aspirations. So, I rolled up my sleeves, dived into Amazon’s ecosystem, and guess what? Six months and endless coffee chats later, I snagged a spot in a brand new team and a ticket to LA!

Bottom line? You don’t wait for change; you make it happen. Believe in your ideas, take that leap, and watch things unfold.

Lesson #3: Own Your Career🌟

Letting others steer your career is like watching someone else drive your dream car! In the past three years, I’ve thrived by taking charge, raising concerns, and steering strategies to implement solutions that made a real impact.

Why wait for change when you can be the catalyst? Trust me it will make your career way more interesting!

So, here’s to my three-year Amazon-versary! It’s been a unique adventure, and while our journeys might differ, I hope these lessons give you a boost in your own adventure! 🚀
