Aw man I’m doing C# now because I couldn’t find an Elixir job despite having previous experience and applying a few places. Maybe I should look, this new job is okay but I don’t wanna look like a job hopper. Also feel like I’m not really learning anything new and growing though.
As a hiring person do you think you’d give someone a pass who was honest and said “I started this new job but it isn’t what I expected and figured it was better to change sooner rather than later?”
- qhwamx 5y agoSeeking a new opportunity while having a job is not a big deal, IMHO. Talking with expert interviewers often helps me find some weaknesses in myself. The most brutal interview for me was with two intelligent developers, one of whom is a core Elixir team member. I felt so well before submitting the assessment code but so bad after they gave their review opinions. I learned harder after that, and I felt way more improved. And, I found myself more peaceful because I perceived that I was not as good as I thought. >> “I started this new job, but it isn’t what I expected and figured it was better to change sooner rather than later?” I would say it's OK. What matters is passion. If you quit the new job because you're chasing for something you love, that's fine to me.
