But, is it normal to get imposter syndrome before you’ve even had your first interview?
I definitely didn’t lie on my CV, and if anything I’ve probably undersold myself, but suddenly I feel like the job would be beyond me -
@zarathustra you can test yourself on codewars.com .
Wondering if you are a senior dev yet?
If you can do senior dev level exercises there, then you are a senior. Period. Don't let other people decide for you. -
@wateringdisease thanks, I’ll take a butchers when I get home.
No, I’m not a senior dev, but the role I have applied for just uses graduate instead of junior.
It would be a pay cut and a 60 mike a day round trip -
@zarathustra Yes there are other categories there too, like intern or junior dev. You can test yourself ;) good luck

for-Each5396yPersonally think codewars is a bad way to judge whether you're at any particular level when it comes to development.
-
Yes it is not perfect since it measures programming skill only but still better than a questionable human deciding on your behalf.
-
for-Each5396y@wateringdisease I'd still have a human decide whether my experience/portfolio is worthy of the 'senior' title personally
After growing problems at work with basically being nothing more than an office junior who gets used to manually input data, with the occasional bits of development.
I sent my CV to a company one of my friends works for applying for a role as a full stack graduate developer.
I have a telephone interview tomorrow, little bit nervous
