How stammering is holding me back in my software Engineering job
Content
How stammering is holding me back in my software Engineering job I am 26 years old and have been working as a software engineer for 3 years now. I am stammering from my childhood and have always lived in fear. As a stammerer, I really have a hard time to explain the code or solution or problem. My teammates think that I am not good at communication and because of this I lost an opportunity to work directly with client or onsite. These things makes me ask question with myself - how would I survive this? How would I switch my job? How would I present any solution to a problem if no-one could understand me? But here I am, trying everyday, attending every meeting, trying to speak atleast something even though I stammer.
