Hello! My name is Mariya Breyter.
My journey to professional success has not been straightforward. However, each step in my career progression was a step towards my dream job and an opportunity to build on the newly acquired skills. There were days in my career when I felt victorious and days where I felt that I was not understood or appreciated. Over the years, I found out that many mistakes that I made were easy to avoid if I had the advice that I am now sharing with you. From the outstanding career mentors that I met over the years and who became my friends and biggest supporters to great books and outstanding leaders I met throughout my professional journey from a software developer to a business executive, there is a lot of great advice that will help you achieve the career of your dreams.. |
