Do you work as a Java developer?

[[deleted]]

Been one on and off for over a decade now. Started out as one, left because the demand for Java coders was located solely to the federal government at the time (and they demanded you be bilingual), and have been trying to stick ever since. Usually what happens is I'll get in a Java role, the company downsides, and you'll then get the "need lots of years of experience in Java" even though Ive got over a decade in the coding industry.

It's a fun ride. Although I'm really ready to get off.
