A day in the life of... Disary Nath Sarkar

Via LinkedIn, Disary ended up with a job at HSO and has been there since 2022. Initially, she had to adjust to the cultural differences, but now Disary feels right at home in the integration team. She greatly appreciates the freedom to manage her daily tasks independently, but helping teammates and clients is what energizes Disary. Curious about what her day as an Integration Engineer is like? Read on to find out!

9:00 AM – Start-up calls with the Integration team

“Since my team has a hybrid work arrangement, we begin the day with start-up meetings online. This allows us to catch up on projects and align our efforts, whether you’re working from home, or at the office.” Besides discussing work-related matters, they make time to check in on each other personally. “It took me a while to get used to this. In the Netherlands, people are direct, but also very helpful. I really feel like I’ve landed in a welcoming environment!”

11:00 AM – Tackling projects and supporting teammates

After morning meetings, Disary dives into ongoing integration projects. She knows she can rely on her teammates, and vice versa. “One of the best aspects of my work is helping my colleagues! Everyone in the integration team is very supportive. I can always turn to my teammates and manager. Whether someone holds a junior or senior position, we help answer each other’s questions and are always available to give advice.”

2:00 PM – Interacting with clients and Microsoft

Back to business! After a productive morning and a lunch break, Disary engages with her clients regarding implemented integrations solutions. “I mainly assist my clients remotely, but I still feel like we are one big team. That’s because we are in contact almost daily.” Disary also collaborates regularly with Microsoft’s Azure team when she needs assistance or advice.

4:00 PM – Online demo for a client

At the end of the day, Disary conducts an online demo for one of her clients. During this session, she showcases the design of Azure integrations and guides the client through the cloud environment. “During the call, we also discuss whether there are any specific adjustments or optimizations required.”

5:30 PM – Time to unwind!

Disary finds the excellent work-life balance a major advantage of working in the Netherlands. “It’s wonderful to have enough time for relaxation after a productive workday. We regularly do something fun together as a team – recently we took a cooking class together. Besides good working relationships, I’ve also built close friendships at HSO. This contributes to the pleasant work atmosphere and company culture.”
