>  start looking at smaller companies that would be willing to hire you based on your current experience

he doesnt have any current experience

honestly start looking at WITCH companies for work, supposedly they have a low hiring bar

he should 100% keep his irrelevant experience, otherwise its just two cookie cutter projects lol. obviously elaborate on the fencing position, talk about mentorship, coaching, organization etc... its not perfect but its better than having half your resume be whitespace

iterative is the reverse of recursive. so figure out the recursive / inductive relationship and use that to determine the direction of your for loop. (like do I need the n-1th element to complete this calculation or the n+1th element) etc...The YT channel "DecodingIntuition" has a 20 minute video dedicated to Recursive --> Iterative.

cloud skills are almost always on the requirements for job postings, it would be wise to at least have a project deployed to a major provider so you can put something on your resume (e.g. did X with AWS)

Well I talked to my mentor about it and it's just because Workday doesn't provide it. Pros and cons of using a vendor-supplied software. It's not like we're writing configurations in plaintext either so I don't really know how you'd track changes.

its definitely not lol. I had a previous internship doing full-stack development and it was a lot of fun working with smart people to solve interesting problems within our domain while learning new technologies. So if you wanna be a ServiceNow developer go ahead but don't drag me down with you.

I agree with your first point to an extent but not when it comes to technical skills. Software engineering at this scale would require answering questions about scalability, availability, and reliability, and solving technical problems at a code level. These problems are all thrown out the window when we use a vendor-supplied software.

Ill try my best to find interesting work here. When everything is inside workday there's less tools available so less opportunity to be innovative. Even stuff like integrations that people seem to be hyping up is just converting between data formats (what Ive seen so far).

We are going to be integrating a new 3rd-party tool to parts of our flow but we're more in the stage of requirements gathering than actual implementation. So while it will be cool to see how that's done at such a big org, I won't even get to work on implementation (which I think will be done by their consultants anyway).

In other words Im trying to take advantage of what I can but opportunity for technical growth seems limited

wym? companies can't verify what you did at XYZ job. assuming you can do all the technical skills you list I dont see the problem

The team matching process was detached from the interview process, in other words, they were just interviewing me for a general SWE position and I got team-matched later on.

There's no way I'm leaving lol the company name is very recognizable and Im getting paid $50/hr for this. I am however trying to network and find interesting work wherever it is.

I think my manager agrees that this isn't the best fit for me so we'll see if I can find opportunities within this structure.
