<article class="content">
|
||||
<p>Back in August, I shared about <a href="/blog/posts/2024-08-18-from-hobbyist-to-professional-web-developer/">my transition from hobbyist to professional web developer</a>, after spending almost two years in teaching myself web development to switch my career path from graphic design. I received a lot of positive reception to my story about my career change, with some even telling me they found my story inspiring.</p>
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately, now I have to break the bad news: I am leaving my first web developer job, and 3 January 2025 will be my last day of my current employment.</p>
|
||||
<p>After working in my current job for 3 months, I was looking forward to an official confirmation from my company if I pass my probation period. I had high hopes for my chance of passing my probation, because I completed all my assigned tasks before deadlines, and my most notable achievement was developing a custom WordPress plugin for my company's WordPress and WooCommerce website, despite never having made a WordPress plugin before. I still remember my boss‘ “wow” exclamation when I showed him my plugin. I was hoping this could prove my willingness to learn new web development skills, especially since my boss invited me for an interview because he was looking for someone with web development skills. Previously, all the web development jobs were handled by an outsourced web developer, so I guess I was hired because my company was looking for an in-house web developer, so my creation of a custom plugin should be able to prove my web development skills.</p>
|
||||
<p>I was so, so wrong.</p>
|
||||
<p>On 3 December 2024, I went to my company's headquarters to meet my manager and boss, after being summoned by my boss on the previous day to discuss my probation. Then, when my boss passed the job performance evaluation form and I read it, I started to have a bad feeling when I realised I was only given an average score in my job performance. Soon, my boss confirmed my suspicion that I did not pass my probation, and said the company did did not consider my performance satisfactory.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then, my manager and boss gave me an offer: if I were to keep my job and continue my extended probation, I will need to change my job scope and responsibilities to focus more on digital marketing, especially social media copywriting since they lack the manpower for it. They further revealed that the company's website was only one part of their marketing efforts. Therefore, I was given a choice of accepting their offer in job scope changes or not, and given time to consider my choice.</p>
|
||||
<p>I was devastated by the news that my job performance did not satisfy my employer enough to pass my probation. There was a saying in Chinese, "the higher your hopes, the bigger your disappointment", and that could not be more accurate to describe my situation there. I was much, much more upset by not being able to pass my probation than being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic, currently incurable eye disease that can lead to loss of vision a few days prior. At least with the latter, I already prepared for the possibility of having an inherited eye condition that was difficult if not possible to cure given my family's history with eye conditions.</p>
|
||||
<p>After spending time in weighing my choices, I choose to not accept my manager and boss' offer. I want to be a web developer, not a marketer. I got my current job because I wanted to get my first job as a web developer since I am switching my career path from graphic designer to web development. As a result, I was given a termination letter on the next day, stating that my current employment will only continue for another month until 3 January 2025.</p>
|
||||
<p>In hindsight, I should have seen it coming that my employer do not intend web development to be the main part of my job responsibilities in the company. My official position in my current company is actually marketing assistant, not web developer, not web designer nor WordPress developer, meaning I was actually assigned to the marketing department to support the marketing manager. The company does not have a tech or IT department, so everything technical was handled by the outsourced web developer.</p>
|
||||
<p>Occasionally, I was assigned to do graphic design work. I did not mind it despite having burned out from graphic design as a profession, because most graphic design works for my company were still handled by outsourced graphic designers, and I could still help with tasks working on my company's WordPress website.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have been trying to look at the positive that at least I actually got some professional web development experience, even if it lasted only a few months, but I also learned the hard way that sometimes, an employee's goal and what the employee can offer to the company do not match what the employer actually wants.</p>

<id>https://leilukin.com/blog/posts/2024-12-16-leaving-my-first-developer-job/</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>Back in August, I shared about <a href="https://leilukin.com/blog/posts/2024-12-16-leaving-my-first-developer-job/2024-08-18-from-hobbyist-to-professional-web-developer.md">my transition from hobbyist to professional web developer</a>, after spending almost two years in teaching myself web development to switch my career path from graphic design. I received a lot of positive reception to my story about my career change, with some even telling me they found my story inspiring.</p>
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately, now I have to break the bad news: I am leaving my first web developer job, and 3 January 2025 will be my last day of my current employment.</p>
|
||||
<p>After working in my current job for 3 months, I was looking forward to an official confirmation from my company if I pass my probation period. I had high hopes for my chance of passing my probation, because I completed all my assigned tasks before deadlines, and my most notable achievement was developing a custom WordPress plugin for my company's WordPress and WooCommerce website, despite never having made a WordPress plugin before. I still remember my boss‘ “wow” exclamation when I showed him my plugin. I was hoping this could prove my willingness to learn new web development skills, especially since my boss invited me for an interview because he was looking for someone with web development skills. Previously, all the web development jobs were handled by an outsourced web developer, so I guess I was hired because my company was looking for an in-house web developer, so my creation of a custom plugin should be able to prove my web development skills.</p>
|
||||
<p>I was so, so wrong.</p>
|
||||
<p>On 3 December 2024, I went to my company's headquarters to meet my manager and boss, after being summoned by my boss on the previous day to discuss my probation. Then, when my boss passed the job performance evaluation form and I read it, I started to have a bad feeling when I realised I was only given an average score in my job performance. Soon, my boss confirmed my suspicion that I did not pass my probation, and said the company did did not consider my performance satisfactory.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then, my manager and boss gave me an offer: if I were to keep my job and continue my extended probation, I will need to change my job scope and responsibilities to focus more on digital marketing, especially social media copywriting since they lack the manpower for it. They further revealed that the company's website was only one part of their marketing efforts. Therefore, I was given a choice of accepting their offer in job scope changes or not, and given time to consider my choice.</p>
|
||||
<p>I was devastated by the news that my job performance did not satisfy my employer enough to pass my probation. There was a saying in Chinese, &quot;the higher your hopes, the bigger your disappointment&quot;, and that could not be more accurate to describe my situation there. I was much, much more upset by not being able to pass my probation than being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic, currently incurable eye disease that can lead to loss of vision a few days prior. At least with the latter, I already prepared for the possibility of having an inherited eye condition that was difficult if not possible to cure given my family's history with eye conditions.</p>
|
||||
<p>After spending time in weighing my choices, I choose to not accept my manager and boss' offer. I want to be a web developer, not a marketer. I got my current job because I wanted to get my first job as a web developer since I am switching my career path from graphic designer to web development. As a result, I was given a termination letter on the next day, stating that my current employment will only continue for another month until 3 January 2025.</p>
|
||||
<p>In hindsight, I should have seen it coming that my employer do not intend web development to be the main part of my job responsibilities in the company. My official position in my current company is actually marketing assistant, not web developer, not web designer nor WordPress developer, meaning I was actually assigned to the marketing department to support the marketing manager. The company does not have a tech or IT department, so everything technical was handled by the outsourced web developer.</p>
|
||||
<p>Occasionally, I was assigned to do graphic design work. I did not mind it despite having burned out from graphic design as a profession, because most graphic design works for my company were still handled by outsourced graphic designers, and I could still help with tasks working on my company's WordPress website.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have been trying to look at the positive that at least I actually got some professional web development experience, even if it lasted only a few months, but I also learned the hard way that sometimes, an employee's goal and what the employee can offer to the company do not match what the employer actually wants.</p>

<content type="html"><p>I am pleased to announce that I am officially a professional web developer now — starting from 16 August 2024, I am working for a local traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) healthcare company, with my job involving web development, UX design and graphic design. I owe much to this very website for inspiring me to pursue web development as a profession.</p>

|
||||
<p>My interest in web design and development go back as far as my teenage years in the 2000s. I had a GeoCities account, but by the time I started to participate on the web when I was around 14, blogs were on the rise, so blogging was my first foray into creating on the internet, so I did not experience creating and coding a personal website like other GeoCities users did. That said, I got my start on HTML and CSS through blogging, by editing the codes of widgets and blog themes, while being inspired by many other blogs.</p>
|
||||
<p>In particular, there was a Taiwanese blogger who was a professional designer whose blog had a gorgeous header made with Flash, who ended up being an inspiration for me to aspire to become a graphic designer when I grew up. I did study graphic design, earn a diploma and began working as a graphic designer. However, years in the field, I got burned out; there were multiple factors contributing to my burnout from the graphic design field, but the short version is that the reality of graphic design work, at least in my experience, did not turn out as great as what my younger self had expected and hoped for.</p>

|
||||
<p>Fast forward to 2022, my interest in web design was rekindled when I discovered Neocities through Tumblr and the resurgence of creating personal websites, so I decided to build and code my own website to gather various stuff I have created and curated across various online spaces. For this, I re-learned HTML and CSS, and began to truly experience the joy of carving one's own space on the web, and the more I worked on my website, the more I learned about not only web design, but also web development, by dabbling in JavaScript.</p>
|
||||
<p>Furthermore, despite being burned out from graphic design as a profession, my graphic design background does come in handy in building Leilukin's Hub, by designing and creating graphics for my website, including header image, site button, favicon, etc., as well as applying my design knowledge and skill to design my own website, from colour schemes to layout.</p>

|
||||
<p>Over time, my interest in web development evolved enough to take online coding courses, starting with <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/">freeCodeCamp</a>, then <a href="https://scrimba.com/">Scrimba</a> shortly after. Taking these courses made me realise that these languages have evolved a lot since more than a decade ago. I applied the HTML, CSS and JavaScript skills and knowledge I learned from these courses to make improvements to my website.</p>
|
||||
<p>Meanwhile, learning that there were people who became developers without a computer science degree inspired me to consider switching my career path to web development. In other words, web design and development have become more than a hobby to me. I did not expect it to be easy, so I did put as much as I could in learning and practising web development. That said, Leilukin's Hub remains a hobby project, and it serves as a good platform for me to practice and experiment my front end web development.</p>
|
||||
<p>After teaching myself to code for almost two years, and received multiple code and tech-related certifications, I updated my résumé with information about my interest in switching career from graphic design to web development, and hope for transferring my creativity and design expertise into building the web. I started to try hunting for front end web developer jobs, but my attempts to apply for the job for many companies did not succeed, then I received a surprised belated birthday present in the form of a job interview invitation.</p>

|
||||
<p>On 29 July 2024, a day after my birthday, I received an invitation by the managing director of a local traditional Chinese medicine company to attend an interview with him. The company was looking for someone with web development expertise to work on and improve their website, which is built with WordPress, and the managing director discovered my résumé on a Malaysian job hunting website I had registered an account on.</p>
|
||||
<p>During my interview, I explained to the managing director that I have been looking to switch career from graphic design to web development. Turned out, the company was also interested in hiring a web developer with design expertise to improve the front end of their website, so my 8 years worth of graphic design experience was a bonus. A week after the interview, the managing director sent me a job offer, and I accepted and got hired, with my responsibilities include web development, UX design and graphic design.</p>

|
||||
<p>Starting my professional web development journey with WordPress is going to be a new experience for me. I had brief experience with working on WordPress websites as a website administrator in one of my previous jobs, but never as a developer. Furthermore, prior to receiving this job offer, I never studied WordPress development, nor built my own website with WordPress.</p>
|
||||
<p>That said, I hope to apply the programming knowledge and skills I learned from the coding courses I had taken to adapt to learning WordPress development. My confidence in my ability to learn new tech skills was bolstered by the time I created a <a href="https://leilukin.com/projects/code/bellabuffs-phpmailer/">fork for the fanlisting script BellaBuffs with SMTP support</a> despite my inexperience with PHP. I am looking forward to learning more about PHP with my new job as well.</p>
|
||||
<p>Although now I work on WordPress in my day job, my personal website will continue to be built with Eleventy. One of the reasons I wanted to pursue web development as a profession is the freedom to learn and use different tools outside day job while continuing to grow as a developer.</p>
|
||||
<p>None of the coding courses I took taught about Eleventy or any static site generator, but <a href="https://leilukin.com/blog/posts/2024-04-21-april-2024-leilukins-hub-overhaul-with-eleventy/">rebuilding Leilukin's Hub with Eleventy in April 2024</a> allowed me to learn more about web development, not to mention I do have a lot of fun with using Eleventy. Therefore, I am content to be a WordPress developer by day, Eleventy developer by night.</p>

|
||||
<p>Looking back, even I am amazed by the fact that building this very website kickstarted my path to become a professional web developer, especially since I did not come from a tech educational or industrial background, but I am glad that it happened.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am happy to be able to switch my career path to web development despite not having a computer science degree, and that my prior working experience as a graphic designer helped with getting this new opportunity.</p>
