How to advance as Software Engineer. How to be a more Senior Software Engineer

I will try to share with you some career advice for programmers. I want to start straight away with a truth that we may not know. We have no idea in our industry what a good programmer looks like, which is a little bit alarming given we’re talking about career and growth, and that presumably involves figuring out what is a good direction to go in as a programmer and how to figure out whether we’re good. Let’s look at a more modern time, and as everyone knows, certainly in 2013, Google had a very comprehensive hiring process. They have a reputation for hiring the best developers, and many people tried to emulate Google’s hiring process. So does it mean we all should start training to pass Google interviews? Does it mean that after this, you will be the best program in the world? In 2013, Lazlo Bock, Google’s VP of people operations, said on the hiring side: “We found that brain teasers are a complete waste of time. They don’t predict anything. They serve primarily to make the interviewer feel smart.” Anyone who has ever attended a technical interview knows this is the truth. Many things you get asked in technical interviews make you, the interviewee, feel stupid and make the interviewer who knows the answers feel smart. It doesn’t do a lot in terms of actually evaluating your programming ability. <a href="https://medium.com/@asom_igor/how-to-advance-as-software-engineer-how-to-be-a-more-senior-software-engineer-6261d7fb193">Visit Now</a>
