, and a shy one ;) for their time and knowledge-sharing. This wouldn’t have been possible without your support!I asked them 3 simple questions, which point out the main aspects you should definitely focus on if you want to get into tech:
The most common lack is communication. Junior devs often aren’t used to communicating with the different departments of a company. It takes time until they know the organization and get confident enough to address topics to the different departments –During an interview process, it is not only important to introduce yourself properly, but it’s also critical to talk about great projects you have worked on.
I think juniors lack thoroughness—meaning, many devs deliver their tasks very fast, but the way the code was written was not the best.
I would tell every junior: don’t be afraid of making mistakes and asking for help. I often see juniors not voicing their opinions boldly and are afraid to ask for help when they are stuck –Everybody makes mistakes, especially beginners—but having a lot of questions and asking for help is not wrong; it is an opportunity to grow. Take feedback as a gift, not as a critique.
