I study at University of Helsinki, I hang with my friends in IRC and other Internet services. The problem I, and some colleagues also, have noticed is that working with a well known company has some downsides.

I participated into a mobile journalism webinar this week. They asked my organization, which is not trivial. I got the invitation from my teacher and thus, my participation was more in the university side. At the same time, I might be interested of this in professional life also.

Well, I ended participating as Nokia-guy. Mainly because my name is easy to Google and I do state rather clearly that, I do work in Nokia. I think that stating clearly my relation to Nokia makes things look more transparent than stating I come from university and someone finding out I work for Nokia.

My colleague spoke of his experiences of start up event. Just because of we work in Nokia, it does not mean that we are business people and just looking for the killer concept. We just might want to hang with cool people, just like everyone else.

Maybe I should buy a Nokia-hat and wear it when I am thinking for Nokia?
