My name is Lotta Riihimäki and I work as a Solution Consultant at Tietoevry Tech Services in Finland.
I joined Tietoevry for the first time in September 2021, and returned in April 2024.
Before joining the company for the first time, I worked in the food industry, where I also took a break to explore other opportunities. In addition to my operational work there, I was also involved in a D365 project, where I realized that I currently enjoy the project desk side more than being on the client side.
I actually returned thanks to one of my colleagues, as we stayed in touch after my departure and the idea of coming back had been lingering in my mind for a while. Thanks to her, I reached out to my former manager, and here we are now. 😄
It was easy to come back as there were no bigger changes in the company. Well, I do have new colleagues, but otherwise not much has changed. The feeling of coming back was a mixture of relief and excitement, as it was really easy to return to the familiar and safe environment.
First and foremost, I missed my colleagues a lot when I was away! They are the best and I really enjoy working with them. 😊 I also enjoyed working in the projects and even though I came back to other one, it has been enjoyable, and I have managed to develop my skills and learn new things!
I highly appreciate the Tietoevry way of working; the flexibility leads to a better work-life balance and well-being. Tietoevry pays attention to equality and diversity, which are also one of my core values.
Greetings or comments for other Tietoevry alumni who are wondering, if they should return?
From my experience, I can say that if even a small thought crosses your mind about whether returning could be a good solution, it usually is. So just do it!
