I’m in a bit of a pickle and could use some input from fellow devs.
I’ve got 3 years under my belt as a Node.js dev, but my current gig is shifting to Webflow. Not my cup of tea. So I’ve been job hunting.
Here’s the deal: I landed an offer for a Python/Django backend role. Sounds perfect, right? But there’s a catch - it’s for an adult content company.
I’m kinda torn. The tech stack is exactly what I want, but I’m worried about how it might look on my resume down the road. Anyone here ever worked in this industry? Did it cause issues later on?
I’m probably overthinking it, but I can’t help wondering if there’s a stigma attached. Any advice would be super helpful!
Having worked in a similar situation, I can offer some perspective. The tech stack and experience you’ll gain are valuable, regardless of the industry. Many developers have worked on adult content platforms without facing significant career repercussions. The key is to focus on your technical achievements and growth in your role.
That said, it’s crucial to consider your personal comfort level and long-term career goals. If you’re concerned about potential stigma, you could always frame your experience in more general terms on your resume, emphasizing the technical aspects of your work rather than the specific content.
Ultimately, the decision comes down to your professional aspirations and personal values. If the role aligns with your career trajectory and you’re comfortable with the work, it could be a great opportunity to expand your skills in Python and Django.
hmm, interesting dilemma! have u considered how this might affect ur personal life? like, would u feel comfortable telling friends/family about ur work? also, wonder if there are any unique technical challenges in that industry? maybe worth asking about their security practices and scalability needs. what do u think?
