you know, like there's nothing unusual about my career or anything like that. You know, you basically choose a career off your liking, right? So right from the beginning, I was inclined to his technology on I always wanted to be a scientist, you know? And then when you're looking at, you know, long term and short term goal and victim goals, right? You know, I I knew that. Okay? I wanted to be in this particular area of technology, you know, physics, quantum mechanics or whatever on whatever comes along with it, right? Eventually, I wanted to go and get into the management because, you know, there you have some kind of a decision making, you know, everybody and basically direct or organization or your career part and and so on. Right? So I started with basically a scientist on. Then I moved over to eventually in the business side of the business. Yeah. Industry. Yeah,
now everything Is everything a change? Of course. Right. You know that. So that's an anomaly. So we're not going to talk about it, But typically because of the multi location, you know, business, You know, there are different plants and different manufacturing facilities. And basically, the current job is a mishmash of three companies. You know, one is in France, One is in the U. K. One is in the U. S. So there are three different cultures, basically three different product lines. Three different technologies, right? It makes it really interesting. Basically, along with, you know, off course, the technology. Interesting. No matter what, but your vitality and how similar. I mean, I have three different teams, right? I mean, there are part of managers. There are application scientists on DSO on. There is probably no self specialists. And so on on this job until basically it's a marketing. But it's a technology marketing. So it's slightly different over the years, my friend. Always Oh, you're in sales and marketing. But take that away from typical sales and marketing job because you have to have very well, deeply rooted into the technology. You know where that industry is going? What are the recent publications? What technology? What competitors are doing. And then you have to have some kind of way to a track. Or developments are going on in a light industry and what you can use those. So, in this job, typically, I would say I worked 55 to 60 hours a week. I traveled about safely. Say, 50 to 60% you know, depending on. I mean, it's a new job in a relatively speaking, because its first two years. So you have to do whatever you have to do, and it touches marketing touches, obviously are in the research and development operations management cells heavily. So does that answer your question? I mean, you know that. I'm presuming that. Yeah. Okay, Yeah. Okay. Mhm.
I think, You know, of course, primary challenges about understanding the culture, each country, even within the country. Each region has its own culture. Right? So when people are talking to you, you have to understand, you know, Is it Are there trying to be rude or this is like a way of expressing and communicating, right? Luckily, I work. My very, very first job was in Germany, basically on then with the British company, an American company and then Japanese company. It prepared me. It's so interesting how people tell you what they need to tell you how much urgency that is, you know. So you have to be sensitive to the culture. You have to understand. You know the nuances on then from your side, you have to be crystal clear, you know, first of all, who has ownership? What is the final goal here? You know what we're doing? You know why we're doing. You have to keep reminding people about that. So I go to France initially. It was very interesting. Let's put it that way, you know? But then he had to tell them Hey, ultimately, this company has been bought over by American management Onda. We are, you know, respecting you for what you achieve technologically and all that. But understand that. You know, the decision making will be done by certain people on. We had to just follow through and you had to put it in a very nice way. Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
