I've got a job, but this feels like a newbie question so I figure I'll try it here... I'm going to my first technical (Java and stuff) conference in a couple weeks. What should I wear/bring/know?

You could also try the "work for a place for ~6-12 months, be really awesome, then tell them you want to be remote" route. It's worked for me in a company that doesn't hire remote people. I didn't go into with that mindset, my wife ended up finding a job several hours away so it was either work remotely or quit, but it might be worth a shot for you.

I did leave one job after six months because it was a bad fit so that's a strike I guess. Are people really going to hold it against me for relocating for personal reasons? It's nothing to do with the job itself.

Or to be an easy person to blame when something goes horribly wrong. "Yeah, I was worried about MongoDB, but those drat consultants convinced us all."

The requirements are vague now, but I'd bet they'll get much too specific soon enough. Could spin up a $5/month server on digitalocean, put caddy or nginx on it and sort out firewall rules etc ahead of time.

Yeah I went the CS degree route and there's certainly stuff I don't exactly use regularly, but that knowledge still informs my thought process and helps a ton in some cases. In hiring, experience and how you do in an interview will almost certainly count for more than your education, but the degree makes getting that initial interview a lot easier. We just hired a guy with no education past high school - but it was super clear he'd built skills through experience and tons of self study. Is there a particular type of computer touching job you want/think you'd be suited for? Oh, and do you have a non-CS degree currently? edit: more specifically, I don't think you'd be very limited by not having a degree after 5 or 10 years in the field, assuming you can learn the stuff yourself. Breaking in will be harder though. Trapick fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Mar 18, 2023 |
