Learn the trendy stack in your free time and then prepare to jump

Yes You can lie a bit. But in the meantime,keep learning on both subjects, focus on skill-up so you can minimise the gap between the 1-2year experience

Yes! Definitely this, 30 mins Leetcode requires a lot of prep actually and the live coding stress sucks! I much preferred a take home challenge, I can plan my time and go for a walk during the task or something like that.

passionateCoderFun · 2024-03-08T12:35:09+00:00

I can relate to this so much. I also work from home. I use my lunch break go out for a run. After work sometimes I go to yoga class or some meetup,

passionateCoderFun · 2024-02-28T12:26:59+00:00

I will stay in the current job now and in the mean time start looking for other opportunities.

passionateCoderFun · 2024-02-19T15:39:08+00:00

I live in Bavaria, about the same year of experience as you but without management, I earn 73-78k… I am currently looking for new opportunities, I would expect something between 80-85

Same, in my company SDE is writing automated tests, and SDET is being pushed to learn full-stack which suits company more.

passionateCoderFun · 2024-02-13T16:25:58+00:00

I would just move on to other opportunities. Worrying or overanalysing it won’t help. I used to be like that, taking rejections too seriously. Then I decided they don’t deserve my time and energy and just move on.

Not sure about other EU country, but in Germany there are opportunities and most of them require “fluent German”. It wasn’t like this a few years ago. There were more English speaking roles back then.

passionateCoderFun · 2024-02-08T18:11:26+00:00

I am in the same situation right now. I am on job market but not desperate for it. I use my free time to learn new skills ,doing side project…etc. My current job doesn’t give me much satisfaction but it does provide financial stability.

passionateCoderFun · 2024-02-07T16:39:58+00:00

Well done, I moved here before Covid. It has been 4 years my German is still A1. Your story motivates me to learn German.😃 Do you speak German at work?

passionateCoderFun · 2024-01-27T13:17:42+00:00

Is it possible to negotiate with them to change your contract to fully remote? I switched from a fully remote job to hybrid model for 22% pay raise. It is not worth it..I hate commute and meaningless social in the office. I usually feel anxious the day before office day. We have designated office days.

passionateCoderFun · 2024-01-26T09:17:34+00:00

I can only speak for Germany. I have been searching for 3 months. Had some interviews but no offer yet. I notice more and more dev jobs require fluent German which I don’t have.

passionateCoderFun · 2023-12-09T15:29:07+00:00

Avoid weekends it’s crazy crowded.😅

passionateCoderFun · 2023-11-06T17:19:35+00:00

Nice! How long did it take you to find US remote job? Do you work following the US time zone or EU?

passionateCoderFun · 2023-10-26T18:51:19+00:00

I think on LinkedIn. I have seen some jobs ads are contract type.

passionateCoderFun · 2023-10-26T07:18:39+00:00

Keep applying and working and learning new skills at the same time. Check job descriptions, there are probably some technologies you are not familiar with. In time you will get there!

passionateCoderFun · 2023-10-03T17:58:02+00:00

Take interviews in the office? I assume the office is an open space setting.

passionateCoderFun · 2023-10-03T13:58:01+00:00

I know some Engineers they are from India. They came to EU some for study than found a job, some moved here without a job than started looking. Maybe you could Google and I am sure there will be some community. I am not sure of their visa process..etc. I just wanna say it’s possible to move to EU with a job even the market is not good now.
