But Viktorija’s aspirations knew no bounds. Juggling multiple roles and Master’s studies, Viktorija emerged battle-tested and unbreakable. Now, as an HR Operation partner, her unwavering commitment has unlocked a well-deserved promotion.

After secondary school, I was uncertain about my career path. I decided to study Hotel and Restaurant Management, where I realized that people & culture, high-quality service, and my communication skills were vital for success. However, due to night shifts and limited career prospects, I sought a more stable job for my health. That’s how I became an Administrator at Ruptela in 2018 while studying Business Management at Vilnius University. In six months, I transitioned to the role of Administrator-CEO assistant, responsible for optimizing our CEO’s workday. Inspired by the HR team, I pursued Master’s studies in Human Resources management.

Juggling two roles, studies, and witnessing Ruptela’s ups and downs provided invaluable experience, making me stronger. Two years ago, our HR team underwent significant changes, transforming me into an HR Generalist within a smaller team. It was a challenging period, but I learned that nothing is impossible. As our CEO once told me (Rocky Balboa’s quote) – “You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!”. And this quote is the best example of how my and all Ruptela’s years were going from my first day at Ruptela. Also, I am happy to share that all my effort, discipline, and persistence paid off to be promoted to the HR Operation partner position here. So if you have strong personal skills and motivation and work at Ruptela, there can’t be a better match for an extraordinary experience and a successful career path.

In October 2018, I joined Ruptela, drawn to their stability and the opportunity for office work as an Administrator. Prior to Ruptela, I had taken a 5-month break from work due to night shifts while serving as a Receptionist at a hotel. Ruptela’s appeal lay in their regular office schedule, international environment, vibrant culture, enjoyable Pet Fridays, and the perk of having “BARBORA” food available. It truly won me over! 😊

My journey at Ruptela is akin to climbing Everest. It’s a thrilling adventure filled with incredible people, unforgettable experiences, and countless valuable moments. However, just like scaling a mountain, there are challenges and stressful situations that come with the territory. It’s a mix of ups and downs, but as with everything in life, finding the right balance is key.

Shower… It’s always a shower and then a cup of coffee. Without these two rituals, I can’t start my day entirely fresh & ready 😊

One of the most priceless aspects of Ruptela is its people and culture. It’s truly something special 😊 Additionally, working from the office is highly convenient for me, as I prefer face-to-face interactions. However, I do enjoy the flexibility of working from home once a week, typically on Fridays. It strikes a great balance!
