Hey everyone! 👋 Let’s dive into a topic that many of us can relate to – landing a developer position that we truly enjoy. It’s not always easy finding that perfect fit, as I’ve experienced myself. But I’m curious to hear from all of you – when, if ever, did you land a position you enjoyed?
Here’s a bit of my story to kick things off:
– Started out at a startup managing backoffice systems
– Transitioned to a logistics company with a structured environment
– Currently in a bank’s mobile app team, but not enjoying the tech stack or management style
I’m sure many of you have faced similar challenges in finding your dream developer position. So, let’s share our experiences and insights to help each other out. Have you found a role that sparked your passion for coding? What tips do you have for those still on the search for their ideal job?
As for me, I’m hoping to eventually find a role that aligns with my interests and allows me to grow as a developer. But until then, I’m open to exploring new opportunities and learning from others in the field. Let’s keep the conversation going and support each other on our journey to finding job satisfaction in the ever-evolving tech industry! 🚀💻
Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below! Let’s inspire and empower each other to pursue our career goals with enthusiasm and determination.
I’ve enjoyed 3/4 of the positions so far. The one exception was a support role which I didn’t like for obvious reasons.
I had an internship in robotics that I really enjoyed, and I would hopefully like to return to that sort of thing at some point. I don’t think I enjoy web dev.
Still doing it, since right out of college. Ended up as a NASA contractor (helped that I went to university in Houston near JSC). Working on flight software for human space flight.
Judging from your post, it feels like you will never be satisfied making corporate software. And for a valid reason – you are not inspired by the product or the stack.
It is good that you have a job now, have you considered going out and actually trying to find a position you might like? Maybe work for an interesting start up? Or some company that offers a great tech stack?
The only position that I had that I enjoyed every aspect of was my first job out of college. It was a small company that was working on really cool image processing software. Did some fun programming and learned a lot. The pay wasn’t that great but they had no scrum, no agile, had a lot of freedom, coworkers were awesome, and I did more actual dev work at that job in 2 years than in any other job I’ve had in the past 6 years. I miss it
Love my first and only position (OS engineer for a networking company). Lucked out I think 🙂 .
I loved my last job but that was because I had a great manager. The last one was ex Amazon and yeah, it ended horribly
