I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.

So I have a second interview today for a role (job 1), but another manager within the company reached out saying the hiring manager for job 1 shared my resume with her and she’s really interested in me for a job she’s posting soon (job 2). My 1st interview for job 1 went really well as far as I know. This feels unusual! I am interested in hearing more about both roles, and I really clicked with the job 2 hiring manager when we spoke on the phone and she informed me she’d love for me to apply.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good?
