Yesterday marked my last day at Dell Technologies, a journey that lasted almost two years. I'm filled with a mix of emotions – gratitude, nostalgia, and a tinge of sadness. These past two years have been an incredible journey of growth, learning, and camaraderie, and I'm leaving with a heart full of cherished memories.
One of the key takeaways from my time at Dell is the "importance of building a brand in meetings". I had two weekly meetings that I considered significant. I used to contribute only when my name was called out, but now I realize I should have been more proactive. This feedback was an eye-opener for me.
Meetings are not just about being present, they are about making your presence felt. They are platforms where you can showcase your knowledge, your ideas, and your ability to contribute to the team’s goals. So, don’t just attend meetings, participate in them. Make sure your voice is heard, your ideas are shared, and your brand is built.
A huge shout-out to my colleagues turned besties - Lakshmi S and Raksha Mallya, for always lending your ears when I needed to vent. To my OS PJM team - vijay Kumar TS and Sri Monika, thank you for helping me understand the process and tools better. To Tilak Sidduram and Priyanka Bajpai, my OS leads, thank you for your timely feedback and guidance. To my incredible manager BARUN CHAUDHARY, who gave me a chance to grow in this role. A big hug to my entire team for making my time at Dell truly unforgettable - Shubhra | vinay | Ritesh | Yallamma and the list just goes on 😊
Time flew, but no regrets – not a single day of cribbing, all thanks to this fantastic crew! 🙌
