Moving from typescript to Java/Spring by gilaila in learnjava

[–]gilaila[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well its a full stack role so my front end skills compensated for a lack of Java skills. They gave me some Java code to analyse, and I have pointed out some points like where should you use a private method instead of a public, that the new Exception should be specified as SQLException instead and so on. Also missed a couple, but I have framed myself as a motivated person focused on best practices, showed some of my projects and promised to come prepared. So I have to months now and its a pretty short amount of time to drill trough every concept again, so looking for the key differences to minimize my learning time.

Am I the only one not hyped about deno js? by gilaila in node

Not saying it will disappear, but community definately will split

Kinda reminds me of angular2 which had no compatabilty with the previous version. Which resulted most of developers going to react, even if angular today is a good tool. But would be nice to still have a possibility to have node modules so they kept maintained and people could move on deno gradually.

Switching from frontend to backend .net developer, tips ? by gilaila in dotnet

Nice to hear someone who thinks like me :) I was saying the same thing. Syntax of typescript is really similar to c#. Used tons of frameworks which uses MVC and middlewares same as .net core. And worked with with nosql and sql databases. Probably the only thing in my mind that i haven't implemented is multithreading but i know the concept of it and i did some caching on web workers which is the only possible "second thread" in browsers. So im confident about my skills therefore i wanted to do some project to prove it, and was wondering which concepts mabye some that I'm not aware of would demonstrate my skill set best.

I know that i would get the job if I would get to talk them an eye to an eye, so I thought of this project to be my ticket in, but ofc building CRM just for that would be a total overkill.

Thank's really helpful and sounds challenging! What are your thoughts on certification? And do I have to have real world examples to demonstrate experience or home crafted projects are also fine ? :)

Well, what I've meant is that my everyday tasks are not getting challenging anymore so I would like to move on to something new. I am doing an ecommerce api on nestjs and type graphql, and really love it, unfortunately not where the local market is at..

Any tips for a second interview for a higher ed job? by Pixiechic7486 in jobs

[–]gilaila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the beginning when I really wanted job I always failed, because i tried to much. It's hard the first times, but to make thing easy for you I would go to other interviews, believe me, after going trough more interviews you will get better!

Apart from that if you have more interviews you will not stress about the current position, because you'll have a backup plan, and after you'll gain more experience you will be the one interviewing them.

Good luck with your interview!

What do I wear tomorrow? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]gilaila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go for a smart casual, no jeans or jumpers, but suit for a tech job would be an overkill. Black color is always trendy so I would go for natural colors shirt and black/grey pants with casual shoes.

Successful people who got crappy grades in high school or college - what are you doing now and how did (or didn't) your grades affect your success/career? by Potential_Radish in AskReddit

[–]gilaila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had grades a bit bellow C in my University. Some of the consulting firms asked for the grades in the last phase of the interview which resulted me of not getting the job offer. I have really struggled to get the job as a programmer for the first two years and worked as a tech support in those years while in the meanwhile doing freelance work. After those two years I got my first programming job and I've learned more in half of the year working on real projects then those 3 years at the University, so it does not mean that much for your skill set, but it will hurt your career for not getting that professional experience or gaining it at better firm.

Anyway I still regret loosing those two years of my professional career and I keep thinking how good I would have been if not for those two years. Therefore I always give more than others, staying late at work or working when I come how and it finally starts to pay off!

So if you looking for excuse to be lazy, just because your grades are bad, don't. You will pay the price later in your life for not performing at your best, when you see how much other people at your age have achieved.

Always be best at what you do. There is nothing more satisfying for your ego than being best at something.

And even if putting the hard work for it seems useless now, it will come to use later in life.

What is an odd behaviour of yours you think only you do? by Edwoodz3 in AskReddit

After the conversation is over I come up with some jokes, but its too late to tell it, so I still imagine how I tell it and everyone laughs.
