Should you quit? Probably. Should you start your own company? That depends. What's your background (beyond "I only have 1 year experience in programming")?

Should you quit? Probably. Should you start your own company? That depends. What's your background (beyond "I only have 1 year experience in programming")? Do you have any contacts with people who would potentially want your services, or do you think that you could make them quickly?
My suggestion would be to keep the job solely for income while you hunt for another one. Ask questions during interviews like "What tech stack do you use?", "What version control do you use?", "What kinds of workflow automation do you have?"
- _yields 14y agoHi, thanks for the reply. I started programming 1 year ago, i'm a self taught programmer, that's basically it. I know a lot of programming languages, mainly Google Go, PHP, Javascript and some Scala. I have some customers i did a little bit of freelancing. The funny thing is that in my job interview for the current job, i asked "do you use bdd testing" to which he replied "what's unit testing". the problem i'm having is that most companies from where i am from, don't use or know those stuff....
- willismichael 14y agoIf you're comfortable doing freelancing, it might be worth trying to set out on your own. You have me curious as to what location you are in, although I would understand if you don't want to divulge that (to maintain your privacy). You might look into what remote opportunities exist, or maybe consider relocating.
