You probably taught the lead and the CEO a lesson as well because they would've missed out on your talents by caring way too much on your lack of technical expertise in Symfony. Which was easily solved by capacitating you every week.
Congrats on proving that you're awesome and getting the job! ✨
Yeah, I think that is a general issue, being responsible for hiring, the manager will tell you we need x, y, and z.
But you can tell someone is good or not, but they might not have the paper to prove it.
It's so frustrating.

Very cool quote! 😍
Fantastic Chris your story inspire me. 👍🏻
Awesome! I'm truly happy it inspires people 🔥
This is inspiring and such a nice "technique" of nailing a job! Congrats and Cheers
Thank you Faith, I'm sure it's very situational, but if it inspired people to get a job it's worth it.
You won how to sell your value.
You won't how show that you are hard learner.
Companies want these developers.
Yes true, but you can only show this after they give you a chance, which is annoying at least.
Thanks for sharing.
Never thought of an interview this way. May be next time I would offer them some proposal so they would not doubt in me.
Either that or if you are desperate think about doing a 1-month intern type of period.
wwoooowww...that was awesome and inspirational !! Loved it
Thank you, glad you found it inspiring :D
Takes some courage and confidence to make a counter-proposal to the CEO like that! I'm happy for you, your story is really inspiring!
It might be a dutch mentality where no is what you have, yes is what you can get.
