Sadly I’m yet to meet an employer who thinks like this. Especially in Australia. I’m a C# developer not because I was born with C# DNA but because to use any other language in suddenly looking at junior wages. Even though I could do a great job in any programmming language. It’s insane.
- wryun 8y agoI've worked at 4 software companies in Australia so far and none have been concerned about which programming languages I know (admittedly not for super high wages, but still...)
- quickthrower2 8y agoSo how did they do the code test? Did they say you can do it in any language? I interviewed for atlassian a few years ago. They gave me a tricky Java test, the kind that you’d only pass if you’ve been battling Java for years and know the gotchas. So that was a fail. I could have studied Java harder, but I’ve only got so much time and so many opportunities.
- wryun 8y ago1 don't remember, 1 any (but need SQL), 1 Java (Atlassian, actually, but only the easy screen - may have been the particular division here), 1 no test because they knew me.
- dzonga 8y agoout of curiosity how high / low relatively are the aussie wages compared to us ones ?
- quickthrower2 8y agoThey are lower, but better than continental Europe. I here that SF people are getting $130k out of uni. That would be a rare high salary here (180k Aud). Probably a manager of 100 people or a good cider working in trading, or a smart employer who doesn’t want to play the market rates game. Salary is total comp here pretty much.
