Who here has gotten a dev job in the last few months and is excited about it?
Did you bump your pay? Improve your work life balance? Get a better manager or team? Are working on something you enjoy?
I want to hear all the positive career news you folks have to give!
Oh hang in there! What stage of your career you in?
Graduated last September. I had joined a RoR full-stack internship last year around the last week of October 2022. Quit that shitty job around the end of January, tried applying for about four months, while learning React and ExpressJS alongside, and after that, I just gave up around September.
That sounds tough. What’s your job search criteria? And… What kind of work are you trying to do?
At this point, I don’t even know. I am actually interested in niche stuff like embedded, graphics and system programming, but there’s no scope in my country. I’m not really finding it fulfilling to learn web technologies. For now, I’m working on a NextJS tutorial to learn about WebSocket and perhaps something about meta-frameworks. Looking for an internship again, because entry-level jobs are next to impossible, at least with the unbelievable requirements, but internships roles in Wellfound are also absolute garbage. They’re looking for a 5+ YOE engineer with the salary of an intern. Fuck the labor laws in India.
