I worked at IT department of Intel for 6 years.
Then for about a year as a DevOps.
Then for 3 years as JS developer at a startup.
Plus few open source contributions and side projects.
I wasn't strong in Java or other fundamental languages.

That is my skillset
- ap3 8y agoThanks for the article How many years of SDE experience do you say you have? Not sure I would would count devops or IT though
- agoldis 8y agoI mentioned "10 years of experience in the industry", is it fair?
- esrauch 8y agoIt is a little misleading in this context, even 25 years of experience doing IT often won't clearly mean you have the right skill set to be SDE2 (and vice versa).
- Kurtz79 8y agoThen it's equally fair on part of your employer, which is interviewing for a software dev position, to consider as relevant experience only those where you actually did software development...
- eridius 8y agoSo it sounds like the role worked primarily with Java? I guess I can see why IT for 6 years plus 3 years as a JS dev wouldn't really prepare you for that and why, as a result, you would get slotted into an SDE1 role (hopefully with the expectation of ramping up quickly and making it to SDE2 in relatively short order). I'm not sure I understand why such a role would be interesting to you, though.
