I wish you the very best for the future and the companies you go through in your career path, I am sure will appreciate your work and benefit from everything you bring to the table – Salil Rao

These are some of the messages that I received on my last day at RGA. My colleagues tell me that I am the GO TO person on BI side, those are all proud moments every day. I was very emotional hearing all these. SIX years at RGA, where I learned to push myself to next level. Never knew that I can do much more, day after day. Push yourself to your limits and that’s how you truly grow, is my biggest lesson. I worked at other companies for long time, but never felt this kind of attachment while quitting before. I had so many stressful days and everyday is like a marathon, you come in thinking of working on one thing and you find it a complete contrast. Never a dull moment. I think others will see the good in you when you work under stress and hard situations. RGA is a place which gave me good opportunities to grow both in technology and in personal. The peers that I worked with push their limits to extremes.  This team motivated me to run, overcoming my fears. Team of 15 men and one and only single women. Sri said, that team will loose Kala when I leave, leaving all men alone. I am going to miss it. But hey, I got my life back 🙂

Started at Centene, with a team I don’t know before, but heard from my new manager that multiple people highly recommended me for this position 🙂 New start, new perspective, new stack of tools. Hope I keep up expectations already built with in here. I will try to keep up the bar high and enjoy the work life balance.
