Guessing it was amateur in the derogatory sense.
- krick 6y agoIf you are curious: no, "новичок" is not derogatory. Much less derogatory than a "noob", anyway, and doesn't necessarily mean incompetence. Like, say there is a hiking club with pretty much the same people going on hikes for the last 5 years, and somebody joined this club last week — this person would be called "новичок" in a friendly manner. So, yeah, "newcomer" is actually a good translation.

- sorokod 6y agoI'd translate it as "rookie".
