It seems like you have diagnosed the issue, and that you believe it is simple and easy to fix. So why not just whip up a nice looking CRUD web app over the weekend and solve your problems? It doesn't matter how "hard" something is if it doesn't demonstrate to the typical employer that you can solve their business problems.
- melvinroest 7y agoJudging on your comment, I'm beginning to realize that compared to those business perspectives, I simply want to move too fast. Based on my own experience, in most cases when I tried to move too fast things went fine. And sometimes they went horribly wrong (but since other times it went fine on average it was always pretty good). So there's a bit of risk involved. What happened in the world for people not daring to take risk? But alright, I'll build a nice looking CRUD app. I suppose I should build it in at least 5 languages, because if you can do it NodeJS that doesn't mean that people trust you to be able to do it in C#.
- BrentOzar 7y ago> What happened in the world for people not daring to take risk? If you're a real risk-taker, you don't apply for a job working for someone else. You go build something and blaze your own path. Companies usually value predictability over risk-taking. You'll learn that lesson once your own assets are at stake: you'll likely hire someone to execute on what you want, rather than someone who "takes risks" and does their own thing.
- melvinroest 7y agoThat actually makes sense. My assets have never been at stake, not really anyway. I'll try to think more about that mindset.
