Being a junior and part of a small team at a startup, working with a new software architecture, even the team lead is a beginner in it. It feels like I'm at an echo chamber, there's nobody expert enough to look up to if stuck, decisions seem to be based on opinions rather than an architectural design kinda point of view.

Ugh, I hope I'm not the only here ever feeling this way.

    When I started my job I'd done a year and a half of various Dev work but was and still am definitely junior level.

    Anyways I am a C# and Angular5 Dev now. I knew neither when I started and no one knew angular that I could speak to. Fast forward 9 months I'm still a junior but one of the top 10 angular Devs in our company.

    This sort of thing makes you more valuable

    @craig939393 yeah, seems like exploring uncharted lands on your own, it sucks but it's definitely worth it.

    It was certainly frustrating given the poor angular and angular material docs and I had to redo and improve things every week. Writing shit and then having no idea if what you have done is the 'correct' way is a bummer.

    @craig939393 I totally relate to the last part.

    I’ve never had one day feeling I’m not a junior. I’ve been working for the same company for almost 3 years.

    @erickao08 I honestly don't know whether that's a good or bad situation 😅

    That’s absolutely a bad thing tbh.
