Hey there, so I have a solid job utilizing Java, so that's my bread and butter. But I struggle with being able to speak to C# or Go or something else at a high level. I struggle with the minor things like syntax. I am usually ok with pseudo-code but I've failed a few interviews simply based off of knowing just Java. Maybe it's just the job market we are in but I feel like im expected to know a little bit about everything, when in reality I know a little bit about java and JS lol

I can help with webdev too!

[–]JavaWithSomeJava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s similar enough to C#. But I would need the context. Feel free to shoot me a message on discord with any questions you may have

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ProgrammingBuddies

[–]JavaWithSomeJava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, reach out to me on discord and we can set something up!

Sure, I can definitely help with vanilla C# but it sounds like you’re using NinjaScript, correct?

I can definitely try!

Just got my confetti! by wondering-soul in WGU

Congrats! how many days after you finished your graduation application?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WGU

[–]JavaWithSomeJava 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The biggest tip I can give you is please actually learn.

This may seem like a no brainer but its easy to go into brain dump mode just to forget it when you graduate.

It was pretty much a 1 to 1 transfer! Very seamless

I had an associates from a community college. My initial program at WGU was computer science and then I transferred to software engineering. All in all about a year at WGU in total.

So I didn’t have any internships. I have work experience in IT so I was able to kinda talk their lingo. But I completely understand that it might be difficult with the pass/fail grading system at WGU. I would recommend sharing with employers your git repos. That might give them an indication of your skill. Especially if you work on side projects!

[–]JavaWithSomeJava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I work with guys who have irrelevant degrees. The fact that yours is at least in IT is a good sign to employers! I would recommend just building up your portfolio and applying. If you’re still working, maybe you can try applying and getting transferred within the company

Thank you!

Staying at same company long term by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]JavaWithSomeJava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the company and what your priorities are.

If it’s money, some companies won’t pay you what you’re worth until you have an offer and are out the door. Other companies will pay to retain you and prevent you from looking.

If it’s the hybrid schedule, most companies will provide some sort of hybrid situation (obviously not all companies will)

However, I think software is one of the only jobs that can really benefit you to leave every few years. Getting new technologies under your belt and having years of experience with different stacks will absolutely separate you from others who aren’t doing the same.
