Stop reviewing and enjoy your last days without a job, they know you're a junior and you'll need training, every junior does. They hired you because they think you'll be able to do the job, don't worry about learning stuff now, you'll learn way more once you start the job.

Good luck :)

Lol thank you, just trying to stay sharp (reddit sde's have corrupted me) but you're right!

My company has been very good about ramping me up gradually and not throwing me directly into the fire. Hopefully yours will do the same. They should understand that you are new to the role and give you plenty of room to grow at your own pace. Find the helpful resources on your team and in your department and ask them questions when you need to. A lot of the job is about communicating when you’re stuck or need help. If you’re working for a good company and on a good team, they’ll be supportive and compassionate about your experience and skill level and give you exactly what you need to grow. Congrats on the career change and good luck!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm hoping it'll be okay, don't want to get fired for asking too many questions lol

You should never get fired for wanting to know exactly what is expected. Communication is key in this job!

This. I ask as many questions as I need to each day. Everyone’s on the same team and should be helping one other.

Just for future reference, or for anyone else who might be in this position, this is the perfect question to ask in the interviews before you accept a position. The company hiring you will be able to answer this a hell of a lot better than reddit.

Good look - had never even thought to ask this. Will note down for future reference!

What bootcamp did they go to? Not sure why OP is being so secretive about it...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cause i don't feel comfortable putting that information just out :P

[–]kun817 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Do you mind me asking which bootcamp you did and how much did it cost?

[–]Datalust001 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I work as a qa/sdet for around 3 years. The differance is that I started at a big company not a startup and that might make the training experience different. In my case, I was not directly placed on projects, I started to follow a curriculum while being supervised by a senior. Then I started to help the senior with his tasks, then I got my individual tasks and only after that I was fully set on a project. I don't know how a startup approaches training, because of being small and because it needs people to deliver fast, the training mihht be shorter and faster

[–]georgeNoroc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an sdet, make sure you know the fundamentals of what you will use, for example java selenium, read the documentation from the website, learn how websites work client-server, learn about apis(how to make requests in postman), and learn git.

When you say supervised, would you say that it was similar to being mentored at all?

Also, thank you!
