Accepting the fact that I had to move to Helsinki to have any kind of possibility for landing a decent developer job. I had some attempts earlier on in my life, but those places that wanted the talent outside Helsinki (or the major Finnish cities) didn't know how to manage it and I don't even consider the places I tried as a valid experience. I had no contacts so it was very hard to figure out any good companies. Luckily enough I did land a "dream job" into a company I actually like as a consumer and they were in the process of adopting agile when I joined in.
