Hey!
I’ve started a few months ago a job as a junior developer at a company that sells products for buildings and hired me to become their main developer for all their 10 stores worldwide all alone so they can save money.
My background is self learning frontend and no backend at all. Before starting work I’ve been promised a course by Adobe that will start once I start working. What actually happened is that a month after I started I finally got a bit of guidance from their outside company that are not too great.. before I even finished the materials to study I stopped getting the guidance as the company decided its too expensive and ended it and decided to move to one developer from that company who will take care of all of the company stores (which many are not up yet). Now I’m trying to get some help from him and also helping uploading products to the new stores, it’s hard to study in this situation and there’s not much of info online.
The company learned from the outside company that their 3 months plan of teaching me is unrealistic (like any other plan) and that this plan could’ve work only with a developer with experience and for a junior it will take about 9 months to learn only basics. Now that the company knows that they might fire me (they’ll see in a month how far I am in it)
One of my co-workers who actually manage the admin says he doesn’t think they’ll fire me as they need to bring someone to help him as well so if I do both helping him and learning to do a bit over magento and start doing more and more with time it might work out.
My question is – how realistic is that? Do you think I should try to leave as anyway I’m more into frontend? Do you think I should stay as it’s hard to find any job as a developer now?
Thank you for reading this far 🙏
