I speak from my experience as a contractor in the telco domain, whereby there I would work in some industries I had no clue about. For example, I once worked in health and had no idea about the amount of regulations they had to adhere to. H

We were selling a product to outbound telemarketers. So I bought a bunch of secondary phones for our sales guys, and pumped those numbers into every data list we could find... prize draws... surveys... etc. They were flooded with telemarket

Yes! For me, it's because it's easy to assume that the interviewer knows more than me, and is therefore in some sort of position of power. But I try to rationalise that. Throughout my career, I've worked with people smarter t

Like a lot of products, it's great if it solves a problem that you just happen to have. I currently have a Fitbit charge 2. I've used Fitbit for a few years now. For me, it offers otherwise hidden insights into my state of health.

How to learn how to learn! Personally, I used to find it tough to learn things I couldn't immediately apply. That's because I would try and commit them to memory in a way I could immediately retrieve them if required. So spawned a

I would suggest you look at some of the LinkedIN profiles of software developers at the kinds of businesses you want to work in. And observe the kinds of roles and businesses they started out in. You could even try reaching out to them and

I won't copy paste the terms, but they say any employee can do what they like, as long as it doesn't utilise the resources of the business (which are defined as equipment, offices, money, time etc.). And if it does, then the busin

The only thing I can think of, that you don't get by staying at a business for a long amount of time (that does treat you well.. raises.. career progression.. etc.) is lack of exposure to how other businesses operate. Some businesses o

This doesn't seem too serious, and I would treat it as such. Relax. Take a deep breath! For example, they say "the potentially infringing or misappropriated content available on [your] Website". Keyword there - 'potentia

I know. What I'm trying to say is, you're not asking them to change the contract for you. You're asking them to change the contract for both of them. If you ask a prospective employer to remove any clauses that say "Any

I do this with my dog. I pretend she asks "Can you describe the steps to recreate the issue". And then she just gets in an endless loop of asking "Why?", until I can't explain 'why' any more. It's at

I would say there's a difference between being able to read a contract and negotiate one. For example, one common clause that 'offends' a developer might be something starting any work done whilst under their employment remai

In answer to your questions.. - Don't care what tech stack you've used I would argue that most companies aren't too concerned about your tech-stack. You're applying to businesses with dev's who like you appreciate d
