This is a very good way to get the job you want. I've known a few people that could not get the position they wanted so they "snuck in" by getting a job, any job, at the company they wanted to work at and then talking their way into the position they wanted. If you show that you are a good worker then managers are more likely to take a chance on you.
- drakonka 5y agoJust chiming in to agree. I started working in embedded QA in 2008 and have made a couple of hops in those first years into more and more programming-heavy roles. Time-wise, I think the amount of time it took me to get into a full time programming role from QA was about the same as or a little less than the time it'd have taken to get a degree. So not necessarily a time saver, but that wasn't really my focus anyway.
