Please Introduce Yourself and Give Us a Glimpse Into a Typical Day at FastComet?

Hi, I’m Margarita, or Maggie, and I’ve been part of the FastComet family for the past six years! 😊 My mornings always start with a steaming hot cup of strong coffee—no sugar, please, I like to keep it bold and real! Alongside my coffee, I always keep a glass of water to stay hydrated because balance is key, right? My trusty headset is my workday partner-in-crime, mainly since most of my day revolves around calling clients and gently reminding them it’s time to renew their favorite plans. It’s not just work; it’s my little ritual to connect, help, and sometimes even share a laugh with the people I speak to.

Margarita, If Your Workday Was a Shopping Spree, What’s the First Thing You’d Grab?

Beauty products, for sure! Starting the day feeling fresh and glam hits differently. Working from home has turned face masks into my secret weapon—it’s my little ritual to start every day on the right note. After all, looking good (even for myself) equals feeling good, and it sets the tone for tackling the day’s challenges!

What Part of Your Role Gets You Most Excited?

Definitely helping clients snag a great deal when renewing their hosting plans. I spend much time chatting with clients over the phone, whether guiding them through payments or solving little issues. There’s nothing more satisfying than hearing their relief and gratitude once everything is sorted. Honestly, it’s like the hosting world’s version of scoring the last pair of shoes in your size during a massive sale—pure joy!

Quick Picks

• Pumpkin pie or Turkey?
• Pumpkin pie all the way—desserts always win!

• Early bird or night owl?
• Early bird! Once the coffee kicks in, it’s go-time.

• “Add to cart” or “Wish list”—which shopper are you?
• Add to the cart! Why wait when you know what you want?

• Sweater weather or hoodie season?
• Hoodie season—nothing beats that cozy, oversized vibe.

When You’re Off the Clock, What’s Your Favorite Way to Unwind?

For me, unwinding starts with hitting the gym. It’s my daily dose of endorphins and the perfect way to blow off steam after a busy day. But the highlight of my downtime is spending time with my daughter—watching movies, cooking together, or just chatting about our day. Those little moments bring me the most joy and keep me grounded.

What’s a Personal or Professional Goal You’re Aiming to Achieve Before the Year Wraps Up?

My main personal and professional goal is to stay more focused and persistent. Getting caught up in the chaos is easy, especially during the holidays. Still, I’m working on staying grounded and keeping my eyes on the prize. I’m also trying to carve out more intentional time for self-care and family. After all, balance is everything!

Which App or Tech Gadget You Can’t Live Without?

My laptop is my lifeline—it’s where all the magic happens. It’s my workday MVP, from managing calls and emails to staying on top of client accounts. Honestly, I don’t know how to survive the holiday season without it. Oh, and let’s not forget Spotify—it keeps the energy up with my favorite playlists while I work!

If You Could Work Remotely From Any Location Where Would That Be and Why?

If I could work remotely from anywhere, it would be a beach in the summer—sunshine, sand, and a gentle breeze while I work. Bliss! But come winter, I’d swap the beach for a cozy mountain cabin. Picture this: a crackling fireplace, a warm blanket, a cup of hot cocoa, and a view of the snow-capped peaks while I tackle my work. It’s the perfect mix of productivity and relaxation.

Margarita, What Advice Would You Give Someone Just Starting Their Tech Journey?

Patience, patience, and more patience! Seriously, it’s your best friend when you’re just starting. The tech world can be overwhelming, especially during the holiday rush, but take it one step at a time. Make notes of everything, even the basics, and don’t hesitate to ask questions—there’s no such thing as a silly question when you’re learning. And most importantly, enjoy the process—it’s all part of the journey!

What’s One Thing You’re Grateful For This Year?

Professionally, I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing team I work with. They’ve got my back no matter what, and they make even the craziest days fun and manageable. I’m thankful for another year filled with travel, great friends, my daughter, and, of course, my cat. Life’s little joys make everything worthwhile.
