Welcome back to another edition of Between the Brackets! 🚀
Sam and his deep voice have entered the building! His voice is hard to miss, and even he will admit it. He shares with us how much he enjoys the Project Manager role and how he's grown since starting his career at Webstacks.
Fun - I consider myself someone who always tries to lighten the mood, even in the most stressful situations.
Fast - Not fast in the sense of running but fast in the sense of efficiency. I never want to take away from quality. I am always looking for a way to automate and get things done as quickly as possible.
Loud - I’m a big guy with a big voice. When I used to go into the office, I would get DMs from people on the other side of the room saying to quiet down even though I thought I was talking at a normal volume.
Every day is a little bit different here. But for the most part, my days consist of having standups, backlog groomings, and sprint planning meetings with all of my clients.
After those meetings conclude in the first half of the day, I usually find myself cleaning up my Asana boards or getting my hands dirty in a content management system (CMS).
Hudson is my best friend. He’s a super energetic and happy guy.
Hudson was found in Tijuana roaming the streets all by himself and now lives the Santa Monica lifestyle. He loves going on hikes, walks on the beach, and hanging on the couch. Hudson is the best decision I ever made!
I would say the people I work with daily.
The internal teams I work with make my life and job so much easier. I owe credit to my promotion to the developers, designers, and SEO specialists who have helped me along the way.
Transparency. It is important to never beat around the bush and let clients know exactly what is going on, whether the matter is small or large.
I’ve learned that clients appreciate it when you own up to mistakes, but at the same time, present them with a solution to resolve them.
If you enjoy a fast-paced environment where you are constantly learning, Webstacks is the place for you.
You can forge your path as a Project Manager here and come up with new unique solutions whether it be for improving processes, feedback loops, or time management.
Being a Project Manager at Webstacks is nothing like my previous job experiences where I held the same role. So if you're looking for something new and exciting, Webstacks is the place for you.
Easiest question of them all - It's been a freaking blast!
I come from a corporate background where I felt like I was just another number in the system.
At Webstacks, I feel like my opinion is heard and appreciated. I have the ambiguity to make decisions and act on them. The team is great, the vibes are great, and everything else is awesome.
My favorite memory so far as a Webstacker is having a shotgun race with our CEO (even though I lost 😔).
100% yes!
If you haven't tried BBQ chicken pizza with pineapple, you are missing out!
If you weren’t in your current role, what would your job be in another life?
