As the title states. I’ve been a software developer for a year now and work for a tiny company, where the salary isn’t amazing. I got paid more at Apple Genius Bar, but it wasn’t as challenging.

I still feel like I’m stupid, I’ll rely on the owner lead engineer for help on the more complex problems and because we have a great set of conventions I’ll frequently be going back to old projects to extract the logic from their. Whether that be reading from Excel spreadsheets or the controller flow, as we use GraphQL api for most calls.

Does it just click at some point?

Now.

Nothing is stopping you from testing the waters and applying to jobs constantly until you find something better. Maybe keep a dream job or two in your back pocket until the timing is perfect, but may as well apply to other places to test your marketability.

You're always gonna feel stupid. Once you master this part of your job you'll feel stupid about the next part, it never stops.
