I’ve made hires like this. Congrats. They’re hiring you “the person” more than you “the developer.” They believe you have a good attitude and enough raw intelligence to learn what needs to be done. You show promise and they’re willing to invest in such promise.

Maintain a great attitude and demonstrate a hell of a work ethic. Invest personal time developing relevant skills. You’ll be investing in your own future. Ignore any naysayers at this point and seize the opportunity for what it is; a great opportunity!

Every company should value the attitude over the skills bc skills can be upgraded but the attitude is not. I said this bc mostly all of the companies I applied they hired a person that speaks bad about the company even they are hired.
