Hey guys,
So if you have seen my previous thread, you would know my life has been pretty hectic at the moment.
I work for a manufacturer of high end, world class industrial laser engraver/cutters. If you are interested in looking them up the website is below:
Laser cutting and laser engraving machines - Trotec Australia Australia/New Zealand
Our company is a division of a parent company called Trodat, which has been established in Europe for more than 100 years. They have 60 other large companies that are very specialized and successful all around the world.
I have been working for Trotec for almost a year now and been fighting nail and tooth to impress and prove to my boss' that I am a step above the rest. This can sometimes result in 12 hour days at work, or long conversations with our parent company in Austria in the middle of the night, or sitting at a headphone stand in the middle of an auditorium with TV cameras all round you, engraving custom text on a $400 pair of headphones.
But I love my job and I am fortunate to have it. Friends around me are working 9-5 jobs to pay the bills and hating their lives, sitting at a desk doing the same job, day in day out. Where as I have the freedom to work on my own projects, have a variety of people to talk to daily and basically have something new to do every day.
The good news is, word has gotten back to the managing director of Trotec in Austria, about my performance and my university degree, which has resulted in him offering me a job in the R&D department, doing programming (I study advance programming at university if you didn't know) for new machines. This is such great news! Europe has always been a place I wanted to travel to and explore and for me to be right in the middle of it, working for a company I love, doing what I want to do, is basically a dream come true.
So I just wanted to let everyone know the good news, because I am pretty damn excited about it! I obviously need time to think about it and organize my life, but hopefully I can make this dream a reality!
:thanks: for reading!
