In your opinion how much would it take to learn Java with /Spring(Boot)?/ enough to get paid for it?

I already know Java's basics and at uni did some frameworkless server side development.

idk, it depends on your learning pace and on the HR desperation for Java devs in your area.

Spring isn't difficult. A month should be enough. Perhaps less. For a junior position

More than they pay me at my current job :)

But I would change to vue or react or any other language for more money xD

@netikras thank you

If you are in it for the money, go for it. If your in it for the love, run away. It’s terrible.

@netikras another question, related: what would you expect from an intermediate backend software dev (both with Java and in general)?

@dmonkey ability to make estimates for tasks and deliver according to them w/o another dev supervising him/her.

And ability to come up with solutions for simple-mediocre problems.

And ability to maintain existing codebase according to the good practises.

Ability to debug almost any code issue and suggest/implement a solution.

Carry out code rewiews

Consulting with other devs is ok, as long as it's not about trivial matters.

So basically a sr dev, w/o organisational tasks [teaching,planning,finances,interviews,etc.] and w/o solutions for complex problems
