Ask HN: Want to Work in Different Areas
3 by dlonghh | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I’ve been doing full stack development for about 4 years now, I’m pretty tired of it. I would like to move more into server side type work but my roles have been more heavily focused on the frontend so far so I’m lacking experience. I do side projects that interest me in this area but especially in this job market that doesn’t really cut it. I don’t feel comfortable even looking at jobs asking for C++ experience for example, knowing that my side projects that I work on for fun would be my only source of experience to talk about, when the job is asking for someone who has real industry experience. Are there other things I can do to make this transition? Has anyone else done something similar and willing to share what you did?
