What is it like working as a Software Developer?
January 2015
Getting paid to solve puzzles.
Software Developer:
Pros: The job is very self motivated and self regulated. For the most part I show up when I feel it is necessary, and I leave when the day's work is done. The pay is great, especially for someone fresh out of undergrad. I feel like I am doing exactly what I was trained to do in school, and I enjoy solving puzzles every day. The flexibility to work from home is also a huge plus.
Cons: I can get bogged down in sitting behind a computer alone for days on end, underutilizing my prized soft skills. Work can sometimes take significantly longer than anticipated, sometimes requiring 12+ hour shifts. Due to the nature of production support I am also on call in the early hours or weekends sometimes.

Don't sell yourself short, but have realistic expectations.
Software Developer:
Negotiate for what you want...don't accept the initial offer without a counter offer. Also, be weary and don't accept promises that aren't in writing. At the same time don't expect to make top money right out of th gate.

Good Gone Bad.
Software Developer:
Pros: It's my dream job, it's the go-to engineering job for anyone enthusiastic about computers.
Cons: It's getting destroyed by outsourcing, underqualified but overpaid programmers are everywhere.
December 2014
Culture.
Software Developer:
Pros: The type of work and the people.
Cons: No clearly communicated plan.
December 2014
Software Developer:
Pros: I love software development, programming, specially web development. That's what makes me like my work.
Cons: However, I hate my job because of the salary I get which is not fair and not appropriate for all the stress the company and the working environment the company gives me. My salary is not even half of the recommended salary for software developers. They don't even consider our expense, asking us to go to work on a rest day (Saturday).
