Stress levels are rising

It will be a great day for me when I will change from being a professional developer to becoming a hobbyist

Don't worry, the job is in the bag.

The test was pretty though, but I think it went alright.
Now I have to wait a week before I know if I've been selected.

Now I have to wait a week before I know if I've been selected.

Good luck.

I'm sure you'll be working on something that you're passionate about.

Be careful they are waiting but not praying

what test did they do?

It was a writen test (so no computer).
there were 3 parts:

• first part was SQL (not really a problem for me). So basicly writing some query's and a stored procudure
• 2nd part was theoretical, that's nothing for me
• 3th part was logic and programming. I had to solve a few logic questions, write a function and debug a javascript function.

If I understood it correctly, even their own employees get a average score of 60% on this test. So if I get something around that, I'll be fine

Did not they ask questions about B4X?
"then it is a small company, surely"

 

[Lahksman]

Did not they ask questions about B4X? It will be a small company then

LOL, I'll try to sell it once I sign my contract .

Not really a small company though. http://www.selligent.com/.
Their office where I'm hoping to start has about 100 employees.

 

[Star-Dust]

From 1000 workers up they use b4x

Hmm, they have Ancestry as a client, that company must me good then
