Hi there, I'm a self taught software engineer with almost 3 years of professional experience and have 3 companies (full-time) in my resume.

I'm thinking of moving forward now. So, could you please tell me what the job market would look like for me? And what things to consider while applying?

Thanks!

Hi all! I wanted to share a tip I’ve learned that really helped me nail these interviews I just did. At the end of each interview, I always followed up with “Was there anything on my resume that I could provide some clarification for you?” This allowed my interviewer to bring up any further concerns/questions and let me really highlight my strengths, and gave me a chance to alleviate those concerns for them. I really do think this was a key factor as to why I got the job I did!

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.
