This morning I received a call to have a job interview this evening, dev position, in a big enterprise ("big" according to my humble standards; ~200 people in the IT department I've been told, a noticeable change from being just 2 developers in my former job). Stakes are high and probabilities are low, but having another chance when everything seems to be going south is nice. :)
OK so my second job interview went great and I got the job! I'll be code-monkey-ing some #Java, #Angular and PL/SQL for a local multinational enterprise, so expect whole new categories of bugs and ways to nuke your production servers that will amaze the Computer Scientists for years to come. :darthvader: A big thanks to you
fediversers who have suffered my lame adventures as a crappy dev student, and even crappier unemployed crappy dev wannabe, now the Null Pointer Exception is the limit! ♥️
@aral In case you missed my last post and because you asked to keep you posted, I got the job! ☺️ Thank you again for your encouragement. I hope this goes well, it really looks like a good position, it's a big enterprise but they use quite a lot of FOSS... I hope I'll have my chances to contribute some FOSS code in any of the projects I'll be working with. :)
@joel Thanks! I believe I'll do, I know someone already working there and he told me it's a very good place to work, the initial conditions are pretty good indeed. Now I just hope I'll do OK enough to keep the job! ;)
@fedops Thank you so much! On paper it looks really way better than my former position, and I have a former classmate working there already who says it really is a very nice place to work. I hope to keep (self) pressure at bay and perform acceptably enough... But right now I'm just happy I could make it (again), after so many times of being on the edge of just giving up and back to crappy jobs. :)
@aral You're too generous, I really appreciate this. :) Yeah, I'll keep you posted. If this does not work I'll keep on trying, but I have very little experience and I'm quite old for a freshly-out-of-school junior position, it would seem. But I've got the passion, I put the effort.. And honestly, I've got the need, so whenever there's an opportunity, I'll be there. :)
