I am scared to get promoted from a level 1 developer to level 2.
At what time you knew that you are ready?

    You are never ready, per se. Just get on the tide and try to enjoy that feeling of uneasiness and discomfort. It will leave you with knowledge and skills.

    We now have levels? How does that work and are there any tutorials on how to build XP farms?

    @Cyanide I'm right now facing discomfort. Not getting any project to grow. If I tried to switch I'll have level 2 offers only. But looks like it's my only choice.

    @Cyanide I'm scared expectations will be higher and I'll be embarassed.

    @100110111 hehe. So level 3 is a senior developer. Level 2 is someone with 2-4 years of experience. I already have 3.5 years and I'm still level 1.

    @nitwhiz @100110111 My company has levels, too. I am a Level 2 Engineer.

    Level 2 = 2-5 years of experience.

    I know I’m ready when I’m given an opportunity to promote into the role. Congrats! It seems like you’ve earned it.

    Getting out of your comfort zone is where you grow.

    I only had one year professional experience at that time when my boss promoted me to be a senior. I was like, "meh, whatever".

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I'm a 20 year senior and I still don't know what the fuck is going on.

    They just give me harder problems.

    When you go from "Can you code this?" to "Can you solve this" to "Can you build this?" to "Is this possible?" to "What do we do next?".

    In my experience, you normally starting doing that work before the paper reflecfs it

    If you love what you do, there are no levels!
