Compare Changing jobs is never just about a new role: it’s about embracing a new way of working, thinking, and growing. After a year and a half at Yardi Romania, Claudiu Gomboș, Principal Software Development Engineer, reflects on his journey. Coming from a BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) company, his move to a product-focused role meant new ways of working and fresh opportunities for growth. Did he find it challenging? Let’s find out!
Starting the Journey
Q: Tell us a bit about your professional background before joining Yardi
Claudiu: I started out in development with Visual C++ and Delphi and then spent the next 13 years working with .NET. During that time, I also created products using JavaScript (which is still my favorite language), Angular, and React. It’s interesting to see and feel how technologies and approaches evolve, even within the same branch.
I sometimes think back to the big differences between processes back then and now. Not many companies had a Project Manager, QA was often overlooked, and unit testing or TDD were still in their early stages. Task Management, Knowledge Bases, barely worth mentioning at the time. Now, we’re “spoiled” with all these things plus AI. I also spent quite a bit of time with Node.js and browser applications. One thing is certain: we never run out of challenges.
