Thank you, OLX Indonesia

Last week was my last day in OLX Indonesia. For two years (give or take), I’ve been through a lot of situation that can always made me face the fear inside me! Know how to say NO, communicate well with everyone across continent, going deep into the product and always be shipping. It was a great year and I am thankful for that. Well, you can say ‘memorable’.

Also i learned about business. I don’t have any major in business and since I’ve worked here, my business acumen side is growing and this was the real deal. So much. Best part is, there’s so much room to grow, both professionally and personally. I am so lucky that i have someone as an example!

That’s all you need!

So, why am I leaving?

In this past nine years, As an employee, I’ve been working, switching multiple companies and got carried away with all the chronicles inside it. That was really great feeling to be a part of something big and give your time and passions to your work.

On the other hand, since I started my way to technology as a designer/developer at my own hands and love to create something from scratch, I want to create product that useful for people. Something that can solve problem and have value. As my role also was a product manager, i need that craftsmanship alive. Also, everyone is doing something interesting in this beloved capital city, that also a trigger me to start something new.

Before I start to jump and dive, I want to take a step back to gain new perspective. For start, something that I afraid of is meeting with new people. I want to erase that fear. So i plan to meet new great people in a new place! Create a network, exploring all the opportunities and learn from them. For the time being, I spend my time reading, learning and still ramping up my coding skill.

I will set my time until Q2 this year to make it happen!

Thank you for the ❤️ and support.
