Coming Soon...

It is an exciting story. I got a call for an interview at Spring Rain about three or four months later I applied. I even forget about the application. I didn't have any preparation as I was not actively looking for any job at that time. I went for the interview to gain some experience.On a Friday morning, I went to the office at the scheduled time.

I got a call for an interview at Spring Rain about three or four months later I applied. I even forget about the application. I didn't have any preparation as I was not actively looking for any job at that time. I went for the interview to gain some experience.On a Friday morning, I went to the office at the scheduled time. I was amazed just after entering the office. It's an open space office with a Table Tennis table in one corner. My interview was short, but the interviewers asked me some advanced topics related to web development and CI/CD. I tried my best to answer all of them. I felt very excited after the interview, but I didn't know why.I got the offer about one month after the interview. Since then, I am working at Spring Rain as a full-stack software engineer. It is the best workplace I have worked at so far. I learned lots of things from the seniors here. Agile Software Development process, cloud computing, proper code review, sharing knowledge are some of them.Another thing I used to like most here was the office timing (from 08:30 am to 04:30 pm). It reduced my commute time significantly as I could avoid the peak hours. The story is still going on, and I'll finish writing when it finishes. Show less

I was looking for opportunities to grow. One of my colleagues told me that a new startup was looking for a front-end developer. So I applied for the job. After finishing my office work one day, I went for the interview. It was my first job interview where I got tested for my programming skills. The Lead of the project asked me lots of things about algorithms and front-end development. After the interview, I realized that I have to learn a lot to be a real engineer.A few days I got the… Show more I was looking for opportunities to grow.

It was my first job interview where I got tested for my programming skills. The Lead of the project asked me lots of things about algorithms and front-end development. After the interview, I realized that I have to learn a lot to be a real engineer.A few days I got the job offer. I joined with three other team members. With them, we had to develop a local freelancing platform. We had to build it based on an existing platform. We had to separate the API and the front-end. As a freelancing platform, the site had to be SEO friendly. So we choose after.js (an SSR framework based on React made by Jared Palmer, the creator of Formik) as the front-end framework. We developed our backend using the Django REST framework. We also used Express, Redis, and socket.io for a minimal real-time chat application. We built the entire platform within half a year.Our team lead was a great architect and a great mentor. He taught us lots of things about software architecture and best practices. Though it was a short journey, I learned lots of things about being a great developer. Overall it was an exciting journey. Show less

I am a graduate now. I have to stand on my own feet and face the cruelty of the real world. I started to apply for a job. In a cruel world like ours, you have to have few years of work experience as a fresher to get a job. But to have some experience you have to get a job first. So, it's a vicious cycle. But I was lucky enough to get some interview calls.It was a sunny day. I started early from home for the interview. The route seemed like a maze to me (maybe for my nervousness).

But I was lucky enough to get some interview calls.It was a sunny day. I started early from home for the interview. The route seemed like a maze to me (maybe for my nervousness). After few rounds on the same road, I managed to find the office. They greeted me with black tea. The interview started after waiting half an hour.I gave an interview for the position of Front-end React developer. They asked me a lot of questions related to React and JavaScript. Then I faced the ultimate front-end question: 'How to center an element horizontally and vertically?'. As far as I can remember, I provided them with two solutions.I got the offer on the same day directly from the CEO. It was like a dream come true. Though I was interviewed as a front-end developer (React), I started working as a full-stack developer. I worked on a social networking platform for businesses. The core technology was on top of the MEAN stack. Few months after I joined, all the seniors switched their jobs. So, I became the lead on the project. After working for about one year with some fresh and great minds, we released our first version. But I didn't see any way to grow my career there. So, I decided to move on to my next journey.It was my very first introduction to the cruel world. I got a glimpse of ever-changing requirements, lack of guidance, and many other things. Though it was a little bitter experience, it helps me to know the real world. Show less

A long time ago, on a typical peaceful night, I was reading Facebook attentively. Suddenly I got a notification in the inbox. It was one of my friends (maybe we became friends through the freeCodeCamp group). He asked me for my resume because one of his Boro Bhai (Bro) offered him a front-end position. Instead of applying himself, he thought I would be a better candidate (May Almighty give him the best reward for that).So, he arranged an interview and I went for that.

Instead of applying himself, he thought I would be a better candidate (May Almighty give him the best reward for that).So, he arranged an interview and I went for that. I was shaking inside as it was my first job interview. But after some time, my worries went away as the interview turned into a discussion. We discussed a lot of things about front-end development and UI/UX. Everything seemed very ok and the strangest thing that happened on that day was I ended up getting the job as a UI/UX designer instead of a front-end developer.I worked at Elixeur for about six months and got my first glimpse of the corporate world. I learned a lot of things about the industry and most of all got my UI/UX foundation there. I am grateful to my Boss as he mentored me like a younger brother and all my co-workers who helped me passing my ice-breaking session in the corporate world. Show less
