https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/tag/spain https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/12773/there-clojure-jobs-beginners-even-intermediate-level-europe <p>Hello, I usually see few or none, job offers in Europe for Clojure junior or even intermediate level. I am in a BIG career change, from architecture /urbanism towards programming (currently learning mainly Python for Data Science and Golang in general (also basic HTML and CSS) and for some reason something is pushing me towards digging into Clojure, too. The syntax is nice and the people too. The first times programming (in Python, Node.js &amp; Go) I felt like I was trying to learn some kind of extraterrestrial dialect, but the mystery of it kept me going on. Then I started getting responses from the software and satisfaction came in.</p> <p>The question in particular, is, wether companies are willing to employ non-seniors; thus, if it is worth the time &amp; effort for a beginner in a "practical" sense (I love learning new things, but...). The Clojure jobs offers are mainly for seniors. Also I am Canadian but I am currently (and probably, quite durably) located in Barcelona for family reasons, where the closest Clojure jobs (4 actually) are found in Madrid; then remote jobs can be found in the rest of W. Europe, but usually it seems to me they ask for expert level, in order to fix complex situations very fast, i.e. not exactly as a first job, unless there is a large team there helping to get real-life Clojure experience. </p> <p>Finally, do you think Clojure is going to become more popular? Thank you for your advice! </p> <p>Cristina </p> Clojure https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/12773/there-clojure-jobs-beginners-even-intermediate-level-europe Thu, 16 Mar 2023 12:36:05 +0000
