Question about which way to go?

Question

Hello. I have experience 1.3 y in c# and sql. But I had really bad team at work...they didnt have time for me, no trainings, no one to check what I really do. It was erp system with devexpress things. It was really hard. I dont work there anymore, it was too stressed for me. I hated c# and all these stuff. I starter learn front end. I have learnt js, html, css and a little bit of java and android apps (1y school). And now I dont know really what to do. One side says font is more creative and fun. Second says u have experience at c# u shoulf try one more time. And I could but I am scared... Maybe start front and later learn php and be a full stack? Or fullstack will no longer exists because the technology will grow too much?

Answer 1

You can use C# with dot.net libraries and build standard Windows apps, etc. Lots of corporations do that. But if you want to do more web-dev, then the full stack is the way to go. You can do tons with that. As you see, they are all different.

I was a back-end guy most of my career. Never cared for front-end development. Others are the opposite. So we can't tell you where to go. All forms of programming have challenges. But some companies treat you better than others.

Even as a manager, I've had groups of people I would only appreciate for everything and other groups I had to ride harder to get them to do higher quality work. It's up to you to become excellent at your skills. Even if you take classes, as they should provide, you still have to do most of your own learning.

You also might enjoy something a little different - like being a DBA or System Administrator. Or possibly a graphic artist and do exclusively front end design. The world is open - you just need to find your own direction.

Jerry Hobby. Thank you for reply. You are right, self education is most important but sometimes help from experienced programmers is really big thing for juniors. And I think I have to find company which want someone who want to learn and company which want to teach others. Finding own way is really hard 😉
