    You’re starting now (not going back to the past).

    This makes it a bit more difficult since I designed most of the architecture at my work. It would take a lot of work to be taken seriously again and not have my opinion being discarded because I’m the newcomer.

    I would have to prove myself all over again though, not something I’d look forward to.

      In that case, if you could keep your reputation would that change your answer?

        Hmmm… I’m quite happy with my work and the benefits I get. I guess if I got to restart I would make some more friends in the right places from the beginning. It’s something I learned only later on that it helps to be on good terms with those higher up, in case you need some support with budgets or priorities.

        And vice versa, I would also be more careful with not pissing people off. Early on in my job I ruined a few relationships by being a prissy removed about how things were supposed to be done, instead of being a bit more open minded. Looking back on it I inwardly cringe at how I acted back then. That’s definitely something I would not repeat, I like to think I’ve grown a bit emotionally since :)
