Giving us all the motivation we need, a 29-year-old video of Satya Nadella has surfaced on the internet where he is seen giving a presentation for Microsoft.
In the video, a young Satya Nadella as a Technical Marketing Manager for Microsoft is giving a brief demo on how to use Indow NT. Raw, gawky, and young; Satya Nadella walks customers through how data can be moved from AS 400 mainframe to Excel and then hands the presentation over to his colleague.
In the video, Nadella is seen as just another employee of the company and today he is the Chairman and CEO of the same. Quite inspiring isn’t it?
Brandon Arvanaghi, CEO of Meow, shared the video on his Twitter account and wrote –
“Today, he’s the CEO of a $1.8 trillion company. In 1993, he was just another middle manager doing Excel demos. Satya Nadella worked at Microsoft for 22 years. He climbed the ladder. And is worth ~$700 million today. There are many ways to win.”

Quite often we are advised that changing a company from time to time and staying at one company for too long can be beneficial for your resume as it shows career growth and a dynamic career graph. It is always advised to change the job if you are getting a higher salary, according to the word spread. But seeing this video, it won’t be wrong to say that sticking to one company can be exceptionally beneficial too.
