“There’s a new spike after collaborating with Laika and we continue seeing results even months later. UpShift was quick to respond, everything happened so fast, and I knew we were on the same wavelength after that blog post”. Another one is being alone between four walls for 15 months as a freelancer.

“Being a part of a team that I can learn from is my biggest motivation. Jokes aside, what really made him choose UpShift was the possibility of growth and learning. Literally their culture, how things work and their everyday office life - I know I was going to a place with friendly faces”, Boris says. Everything they forgot to mention in the interview, I found there. “The blog piece about their company culture and possibilities was really interesting and inspiring, it really was the turning point. They clicked so well, that they say they speak about everything, from work-related topics to family and relationships. Here he is in the office, he’s worked with us for two months now, and we feel like we’ve known each other our whole lives”, he adds. “He sent me a photo and said he’s watching ‘Friends’ at the moment, and read about our habit to relax while watching the same sitcom. The turning point, says Nikola, was the story of the company. They gave him positive feedback and an offer after a week or two, but he still wasn’t completely convinced that he wanted exactly that job. He had a chat with them and passed an interview. Boris applied to the job position at UpShift the same day it was posted.
