You get used to good quicklySergey Malykhin, Senior Software Testing Engineer, moved to Belarus from Simferopol, works in one of the Minsk EPAM offices:
“
In native Simferopol, the IT market is narrow. I didn’t see my career prospects there, so I began to look for other options. I wanted to work in a large company. At one time I seriously considered the Kiev office of EPAM, but then, due to the unstable situation in my country, I paid attention to the option of moving to Minsk and working in the Belarusian division of EPAM.
Here I absolutely do not feel like a stranger, as if I had not moved. Everyone is constantly wondering how things are, how I feel.
The company really liked. This can come as an experienced specialist, as well as a beginner. EPAM provides everyone with a lot of opportunities to grow professionally. And if a person wants to achieve something, there is every chance for that . ”
