    Yep, do you really think you can get talented people starting out at minimum wage? Even Level 1 support roles start out at least 23k.

    If they are talented then they will be rewarded when they have proved how much of an asset they will become to the company. This of course is all explained in the initial interview process. Rewards come with sacrifice and ability not on what is popular.

    Also did you just not move to Ireland in the last five months. Funny how you know the market so well.

    And yes I just moved to Ireland in July. Yes I was transferred to head up European operations and to sort of the mess. I have managed companies in all parts of the world. Im glad to see that at least you have the ability to look at a profile and make an assumption based on a previous threads though.

    In addition to posting here and reading a lot of threads in gives me an insight into the local way of thinking and the public perception of certain aspects. Although I must say I'm glad that the majority of posters in AH don't represent a true Ireland.

    I work in a large corporation with multiple departments and yes I.T is part of the corporation. Is there a point to your question.

    He means proper IT like software development. Not IT like in the IT Crowd which is prob the case in your large corporation.

    Get another job first.

    Didn't know people were paying developers **** these days. Very much an employees' market. I'm a senior dev, but companies struggle to find enough suitable staff at any level from what I see.

    Practice doing whiteboard style problems and hackerrank. Presumably you don't have other experience so jobs that give you a chance to demonstrate some sort of skill might be more likely to look past that.

    They are ripping the piss from the sound of it. Do leave but do it on your own terms. Walking out with nothing lined up would be a very bad idea.

    I answered the original OP's question. I called BS when he claimed to be paid under min wage. Since then I have been answering your questions and others. But valid point I will leave the thread to the experts then.

    I've never missed a day in the almost 6 months since I joined. That's just me, I never missed a day of college.

    Nor should you that isn’t something to congratulate yourself on

    I'll reply to these responses later. Just to clarify, I make 9.37 an hour. That's for a 40 hour work week. Doesn't include extra time from arriving early, working later. Probably works out at around 45 hours most weeks.

    Do you have any senior devs working with you? Are you getting any training? Is your code being reviewed?

    That is a woeful wage for a graduate dev. In agreement with others, start looking for something new. I'm a lead dev and I'll advise you to take your time and get the right role for you. You are going to get asked why you are moving after six months when you attend interviews. Think of a proper professional reason. My boss was a pr1ck, is not going to be good enough. :D

    Is it to much to ask that I receive a fair wage, for a fair days work?

    Is it really a fair days work if you are working slow on purpose in some attempt to stick it to the man?

    If you worked at a regular pace, would you have to put in the extra unpaid hours?

    If you aren't happy, and underpaid then just look for another job.

    Don't quit before you have a new job lined up. You've no idea how long it will take to get into a new job if you just quit. (Hiring process can be months depending on certain companies). You'll just put yourself under lots of pressure as everyday unemployed is against the clock, which is not something you want when job searching.

    Head down, continue to work there and look for alternative jobs.

    Read this, again and again.

    Graduates in IT in Ireland are paid more than the minimum wage. Secondly, the salary on offer for a particular role or profession is tied to the level of demand.
