Week 171 Group Rant

Company policies when it comes to hiring in Norway is super strict. Being a self-taught developer for over 10 years and I still can't even land an interview because I don't have a formal education. Though this might be because I don't live in the capital and don't have a lot of chances to apply to jobs

    I somehow landed by current job with being self-taught. I'm worried about leaving for another tech job because I was worried about getting my current one due to my experience.

    I'm as knowledgable, if not more, than masters level people but I'm worried but official qualifications won't reflect that.

    @cmarshall10450 Do you work in Norway? If you do, it seems like just a bit experience within a company goes a long way. Though, don't leave your job unless you're guaranteed another one.

    Mean while In Malaysia, in most company you just have to be pure Chinese then you will instantly be senior project manager for IT dept without any education.

    You know that if you lie would it'll eventually come out and if you have bad luck, they'll fire you.
