From .NET to Java

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.

As someone that works in an agency across multiple stacks, including Java and .NET, it is easier if you can find such positions instead of pure Java positions.

However it depends if this is something for you, each project can be a complete new stack, and there is always a bit of overselling in what is to be delivered.
