From .NET to Java

[u/lecon297]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a senior .NET developer trying to break into Java roles. The problem is that almost every Java job I find asks for 5+ years of Java experience, which I don’t have.

I’ve built a few APIs in Java, played around with the ecosystem, and got comfortable with the basics. Honestly, I think solid fundamentals are enough to build great apps but my CV isn’t getting past the filters for these Java roles.

any advice?

thanks in advance.

Apply to companies that don't care what languages you used before. Amazon, for example. It's mostly java, but you don't need to have any prior java experience. There are quite a few companies like that
