*This is a nice feedback from my Singaporean Scrum Master for 2024.*

According to Vietnamese beliefs, 2024 marked the final year of a challenging three-year period (Tam Tai) for those born in 1996, a time filled with uncertainties and difficulties.

Although I don’t care about this, I have to admit that this year was indeed a tough one for me. I struggled with health issue for several months. Gastro reflux sounds very simple but had a hugh negative impact on my daily life. I visited the doctor so often that they started to recognize me immediately.

It was positive thinking that helped me bounce back. I returned to the gym and kickboxing. I also say no with beer, alcohol and coffee. Since then, my physical and mental health have improved dramatically. Gastro reflux symptoms have significantly subsided, and I feel even healthier and stronger than I did before 2024 =)))

Fortunately, in the middle of the year, I had an opportunity to join a SA Level Up training course offered by FHN (a biggest [FSU](https://cafef.vn/quan-tri/mo-hinh-moi-o-fpt-software-don-vi-phan-mem-chien-luoc-fsu-20120213105016248.chn) of Fsoft with 2400 members). I pursued the course with great passion, earned the excellent SA award of the course and also ranked among the Top 100 FHN 2024.

In addition, my daily work remains stable and I have received positive feedback from Singaporean customers.

Although I was not completely satisfied with this year, it was a year when I dedicated more time to myself and realized the importance of prioritizing my health - without it, I can do nothing.

Based on [**Vietnam IT Salary & Recruitment Market 2024-2025**](https://itviec.com/salary-reports/download/fbd9e3ed-f64f-431f-94c1-c10783a519fc?locale=vi) of itviec, the IT market in 2025 is expected to be more optimistic than 2024. I am also looking forward to a significant turning point in my career path. I hope that both you and I will have more opportunities to grow and succeed in 2025.

Do the best, the rest will come!
