I am a developer who utilizes a low code platform to develop applications (3 years experience on a few agile teams within my company) but I want to transition into a traditional development position (hopefully in aerospace). I have an understanding of coding concepts from college but never really utilized them in the real world. Are there any others who have taken this path? If so, do you have any advice? For the others, do you believe I would qualify for more of a Jr or mid level dev position?

Hey I did this. When you interview check with the team if there is room for growth with other tech stacks. For example, what does the team do when they have a requirement that can’t be met with the low code platform? I’ve shifted to traditional coding role and it was easier than expected. First few projects were mostly just adding functionality to existing apps, easy to copy design patterns and other methods, lots of trial and error.

Thanks y'all. I really appreciate these responses. This will help me out a ton!

I’d say mid level if you have transferable skills. But if you really don’t know how to code, then I’d say junior but possibly negotiate to higher salary.

I appreciate the feedback. I'll definitely keep that in mind if I am required to take more of a Jr role.

No experience here, just wanted to say that's awesome

It will keep getting better, especially as they add AI into it. There are a lot of new products, like Webflow. Many new startups are using WebFlow. I have my doubts that no/low code will overtake regular development, but you can have a good career with it. The enterprisey ones tend to pay well (Appian, OutSystems, MuleSoft, Salesforce), but I would be careful about being too tied to a single type of system. In software, things change too quickly.

What kind of developer in aerospace? Is it business type applications or avionics, simulations, etc.?

I suspect those kinds of positions tend to be staffed by people with engineering degrees. What kind of background do you have? Business app development is easier to get in to.

Hi Everyone! I’m an emerging UX Designer and would love some advise on how to pivot into this field.

I would love to start working in a field that I’m passionate about. Any advise is appreciated!

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
