Are you simply looking for a job or the opportunity to pursue your love of software development?
If the latter, read on.
In our world, our developers have the flexibility to work where and when they want to work.
We believe in the maxim “10,000 hours” to become an expert and hope you do too. Here you are after 5+ years developing in Java and you’re only, at best, half way there. More than half the time has been spent doing other stuff – admin, attending meetings, waiting, queuing ….going nowhere instead of doing what you’re passionate about, what gets you up in the morning.
If you had joined Symbiotics 5 years ago, you would be able to call yourself an expert by now.
Is it too late? – No.
Lost time? – Yes, but the exposure you’ll have to so many different projects will help make up for time lost.
