Professional Technology Switch Question in c/experienced_devs@programming.dev
[–] WalkableProgrammer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interesting that’s partially why I thought going lower end would be better. More no code / AI tools seem to be taking the higher end applications by storm. Lower end is more complex and critical so I figured the jobs there would be better. Also with the addition of new chip architecture I figured the industry would have their work cut out for them

Professional Technology Switch Question (lemmy.world)
 

Hello everyone,

I am a developer with 3+ years of experience with full stack technology so mostly .Net and React along with some side projects in other languages. I wanted to ask if anyone has had any luck moving from high-end projects, to lower end projects(C++). I've become extremely interested in lower level projects like, embedded programming, firmware, drivers, compatibility layers but I don't have any professional experience in those fields.

I understand that projects like these are high priority so they are less interested in taking a risk for a Dev without professional experience in C, C++, or Rust, even if they liked the candidate. I just wanted some insight

Software devs, I need advice (lemmy.world)
 

Will taking a job in one sector set my career path

Hey I’ve been pretty luck last week and I managed to get 2 job offers.

One is a good gig at a massive, old school financial group. I’m talking I have to wear a suit and tie. My biggest worry though is the tech is old and my coworkers and higher ups don’t seem bleeding edge so I doubt I’ll be flexing my developer muscles. Plus they have a volleyball intramural league

The other company is contracted for 6 months with a really cool tech IoT company. Job through Insight Global, Full remote, Has amazing Glassdoor reviews, cool projects, I crushed their technical interview so I feel like I can actually contribute.

I’m leaning towards the financial group because money matters and I want to feel secure.

What I’m worried about is after 2 years I’ll be 27 and I’m scared that working as a SWE for a financial group won’t look as good so I’ll never be able to work on a project that I’m passionate about again

Any advice?

I agree but thinking about it, it’s probably the service that should be open source. Tinder and tinder parent company is messing up dating for an entire generation

I really dont think there is a need to push people on lemmy anymore. In terms of user experience of lemmy still isn't as good as Reddit (although not by much imo). I think the best thing would be to focus on keeping everyone here, improving UX, and when the next Reddit crisis comes and people look for alternatives we will be ready and better than reddit. More people will stay that way.
