Week 1 Journal Post - Some new things learned.

 This week felt like embarking on a new journey in my life, all in all I can say it was a very successful week with all assignments accomplished. I felt I put my 100% in them and even though I have limited time due to work and other responsibilities, I felt I did a good job. 


Some things I learned this week was more information about the megagiant corporation Google from my Industry Analysis Outline paper. It's interesting that Google has been around a little over a quarter of a century and seeing it grow and flourish as a company is something to marvel at. Some cool things I learned was that it began at Stanford university as a research project. I also learned that 97% of the employees at Google say it's a great place to work. That's really high! I've heard all the stories about them treating their employees with all kinds of benefits, so it's no wonder so many people love working there.

Furthermore, it has me thinking what kind of company I want to work at later down the line. I obviously now want a company that treats me like how Google would treat their employees. I think it is a good practice to research into a company before embarking on the journey of working there. Knowing all the pros and cons can give you a good idea of what decision to make. 

Also, the Industry Analysis Outline paper got me thinking about enhancing my skills to be a more well-rounded individual for businesses that are hiring. It got me thinking which specialized area of computer science I want to go into. Is it data science, a software engineer, app development? I have a good understanding so far, but now I plan to delve deeper into my interests to find out which area interests me the most. 

Overall, this was a very good week and I look forward to the weeks to come. Onwards!
