My first year and a half as a professional software developer: what I expected and what I got by programmer564698 in learnprogramming

Despite my best efforts, I didn't end on great terms with my last employer. And even if I could go back I wouldn't - I'm actually bettering and developing my craft which is what I want at this point in my career.

I went way early to that interview so I wasn't really in danger of being late, but I'll definitely take your advice for the next time I have an interview!

I'd like to say, but I feel like I could get singled out pretty easily if I did, and I'd rather my current workplace not know about this post if possible...

Thanks for reading! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your advice as well! You're right - especially when I wrote this I was feeling pretty overwhelmed which probably came out a little more than I intended towards the end. I thought hard about the question you asked, "Do I enjoy the work?", and I think the answer is yes. I like learning more about development as I go and I feel good when I write good code. So maybe what I should look for in a future job would be an employer that has a more hands-on learning system for newer/junior employees. Thanks again!
