Great advice, I will file that away for once I can get my foot in the door. I still have a lot to learn but I am looking to make that career transition in the fall-winter of this year. Meanwhile, I will continue to toss out my resume to any company who might like to read it.I am a software developer that graduated from a no name school. I settled for a low paying development job and then transitioned to market value over the next 5-6 years.
Further more, you can accelerate that by proving your worth and then demanding it. Another negotiation tactic is to interview with other companies and force your current company's hand with potential exit. They will quickly determine if you're worth it or not. Just don't take it personally. It's business.
My comment was for the less perspicacious posters on RF (ie, moderators).I know you well enough that if you wanted to give me a sarcastic jab, you wouldn't do it via frubal!
And promptly give them a pass until they can find the next sucker who will work at a fraction of the price. I am bitter because I never grew up in a time when the applicant had any real negotiating power. Now, the employer has most, if not all, of it.

Northern Virginia. This is something that I have considered, however, the internship would need to be paid. I should look into this further.Where are you based? If you can get an internship, that is a very good way to get your foot in the door.
Good to know! I will take another look at some locally.Internships offer companies low risk at evaluating NCG (New College Graduate) hire. You can apply for internship specific positions too. It doesn't have to be school sponsored.
Many company does this as a strategy for "cheap" labor to mix up their seniority profile. You noticed those GE commercials promoting the hip technology towards the younger generation? They're trying to change their image to tap into this wage group.
Regarding his "loser talk", as his semi-mentor, it's useful toDismissing this as "loser talk" aside, I read another article today that basically points out how much this is the case because of the significant increase in megacorporations. When a few corporations control most of the hiring in the market, employees have few alternatives if they wish to seek work elsewhere. It keeps wages down for the vast majority and shunts it upwards to people who don't do anything near important enough to justify six figure (or more perverse) salaries.

occasionally use challenging language to break him out of
his self-imposed limitations. May he dare to be great.

Nice! Where are you located?Our interships are paid...
Nice! Where are you located?
Nice! Living the dream!I live in San Jose, CA. Work in Santa Clara, CA. Basically Silicon Valley.
If you need help with interview questions, ping me. I've done many interviews.
Just keep in mind though, AI is ramping up and could also be disruptive with SW development. Not sure what fields could get disrupted now but just be on the look out.
Nice! Living the dream!

I appreciate it! If your company happens to offer any remote internships/Jr roles that use Java (learning Python and Web Dev/JS this summer), let me know! I would be more than happy to send some samples and a resume.I'm not really living the dream.
California isn't ideal. If I could, I would move to other tech hubs and settle for a less paycheck. The cost of living out here is outrageous. It's definitely nice, but its not perfect.
Good luck.

I agree! Java is my core language in regards to OOP (OOP is my favorite!). I like Python for big data, data analysis and some automation. Basically, by the time this program is over, my goal is to be prepared for two job roles/fields that I am really interested in: data science and object oriented development.Sorry, they do not have a site in WV. That's why I was asking.
Web development is not core in our business. Seems like you're learning scripting languages which really is more for automation and testing. You might be able to secure a SWQA position. IMO, there's isn't that much development that builds on top of itself with scripting languages. It's usually one and done... You could broaden your market if you learned C/C++ and Java as your core languages. Just suggesting...

The great news is I love all sorts of development/analysis. I think I chose the right field!Nice. You got your bases covered.
