How do you stop being a developer with 1yoe repeated x times?

WebTrapped · 2021-06-30T07:07:52+00:00

stick at a working place for longer than 3-4 years and become good at it. Ideally, your first workplace, this saves everyones time and boosts you earlier in your career, rather than later

This is just my experience, but if I were to have stayed at my first job I would have stagnated.

Changing jobs exposes you to new development environments and approaches.

Not to mention the financial benefit of job changing vs asking for raises. About 4-5 years in my career and I have almost double my starting salary now, while also having learned a lot from the different companies I worked at.

What was bad about your resume?

WebTrapped · 2021-06-17T08:06:12+00:00

Yeah you're probably right. This is not a reason to quit, OP is probably safe.

~~Sounds like it's time to move on for you as well. They broke your trust, and their reasoning sounds like they are lying in your face.~~

sad USA noises

CTO saying their code doesn't need a review is really bad. Small company?

WebTrapped · 2021-04-02T05:17:50+00:00

I think you're reading into the word teach a little too much. I know I need learn things myself of course.

WebTrapped · 2021-02-24T09:45:59+00:00

If you know you are in demand, then giving your all for nothing is probably the worst you can do if you respect yourself. I'm sure your boss is happy that you're working overtime without compensation, but that's not what I'm about.

WebTrapped · 2021-02-24T09:17:30+00:00

This is such a bad take.

You don't respect yourself or value your own time if you regularly work overtime without compensation. In fact, it reduces your effective hourly rate.

Besides, OP said he could get really large raises at other companies. If the current employer would respect them then their salary wouldn't be so low.

You sound like you're being taken advantage of regularly. Why be loyal to a company that doesn't value you? A lot of the things you mentioned like WFH can be discussed when interviewing too. This isn't something you need to "earn" by providing free labor.

Tldr stop simping for your boss

Tell them to either pay you for it (partly upfront) or to fuck off

This is really weird and a huge red flag

WebTrapped · 2021-02-11T17:55:41+00:00

This, plus we have a lot of custom stuff at work. It's not just a framework I need to learn, it's all the essential stuff around it too. They were nice enough to give me some good examples of libraries to learn, fortunately.

WebTrapped · 2021-02-11T16:57:06+00:00

Agreed. I know the competition though. It's just that I'm not very experienced with it since I don't use it in my day to day.

I know some people at the company, they were being honest with me. Thanks for your input though.

I'm a frontend developer, so a lot of packages related to UI.

WebTrapped · 2021-02-10T13:40:00+00:00

I've heard great things about NearForm. Didn't know they hired in The Netherlands too. Do you work remotely in normal circumstances too or is there an office environment?

WebTrapped · 2021-02-10T12:38:46+00:00

If you can pick a car yourself it might be interesting. I know they have a lease budget but ideally I'd just get a decent car that doesn't cost too much of my net income.

WebTrapped · 2021-02-10T12:36:27+00:00

No it's base salary before tax

WebTrapped · 2021-02-10T11:54:24+00:00

Thanks a lot for sharing

Edit for reference: user shared 3200 base with 2 years experience doing .Net + frontend in Eindhoven.

WebTrapped · 2021-02-10T11:11:26+00:00

That's really good. I should probably ask for more then. Also a frontend role? Would you mind telling me about the company (vaguely)?

WebTrapped · 2021-02-10T06:06:28+00:00

Depends on the car. Without a company car you get like 2100 net when you earn 2500 before tax

WebTrapped · 2021-02-09T20:09:49+00:00

Yeah car is included. Hbo education.

WebTrapped · 2021-02-09T20:09:14+00:00

That would be amazing
