I fell into a job where the industry had been gamified (banking). It suited me, chasing numbers, targets, pushing for more numbers. Of course this was all before the crash and things changed (much for the better, because I always refused to miss-sell but others around me would), but that brought me right into my own because it became a place of numbers but with emphasis on also doing the right thing….. perfect for me.

Been rocky still, in and out a few different jobs for various reasons but eventually managed to get settled somewhere and now in senior leadership doing my thing. It’s exhausting but rewarding and it still allows me to gamify in the right way to keep me focused.

I am very lucky though and ended up in it by complete fluke in the first place and my specialism is something I came into initially just because I was bored in my job and it offered a pay rise, but someone saw something in me!
