Hi All,
As a well experienced software developer from Canada I would like to share my experience of taking a job in Bermuda, my work permit was 3 years within two months I needed to get out of Bermuda not because of the country which is amazing as is the locals (the expats well that is a different story). Lets start off with the great offer money good location good all good, then I arrive at work. After one week I found the systems are 19th century and I am being nice here. So I am hired as the Senior Developer now to me that means they need help hence the hiredc me yes? eh no after providing feedback to my manager on suggestions (which was asked of me) I suddenly became the deveil in disguise, Next to my shock and horror I am told my titile means nothing and I am lower ed down to support the worst application. Ok fine I say I have 3 years of this perhaps I should give it a try. Further in the weeks I am finding that the people making the decisions for development have been working at the company for years 8 plus and started as IT support. I am ok with people making decisions if they know what they are talking about.
If you want to hear more of this horror movie I can update. I was given a 6 months probation and these idiots extended my an additional 3 months of probation. They thought that because I came from Canada I must be the biggest moron alive....
Shall I continue??
