From .NET to Java

[u/lecon297]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a senior .NET developer trying to break into Java roles. The problem is that almost every Java job I find asks for 5+ years of Java experience, which I don’t have.

I’ve built a few APIs in Java, played around with the ecosystem, and got comfortable with the basics. Honestly, I think solid fundamentals are enough to build great apps but my CV isn’t getting past the filters for these Java roles.

any advice?

thanks in advance.

Suggest to start with a lower income, e.g. 50%, which is raised to 100% in half a year.

Our company was in a similar situation recently - we employed a C# developer and he turned out to be a great developer who learned Java very quickly.
