Ask for new tasks

Having a Junior developer in your company is not an easy task, as it requires attention, understanding your doubts and also being able to assist in your progress. It's like a child where he's learning to take his first steps, and you're there helping the novice developer to make the first pull requests.

Errors

Receiving errors, understanding and working around them is an activity that will make you stand out from other professionals in the market. So, the more problems you solve, the more you will learn.

It's logical! You go up one level of education at a time, and you always learn something new as you level up, and in the area of ​​technology it doesn't change. So grab more issues! In addition to knowing how to solve problems, the time it takes you to solve them will also add to your evolution.

Learning something new takes time!

Climbing good professionals is not overnight.

Helping

One of the problems with climbing Juniors evolution is picking up a task and not knowing how to ask for it. Be it for some reason. Juniors must learn to ask more. If you've been on the same issue for more than an hour, search, ask, or post in a community.

Evolving with communication.

Another problem is not accepting or receiving feedback.

Feedback is a formal response to your professional status, whether positive or negative. Whether you accept it or not, it's a way for you to understand whether or not you're evolving.

Having a follow-up of your evolution with your manager is very interesting for your professional ascension.

So, have more problems, learning to ask more questions, read and write more and align your expectations with your manager about your evolution is a good path to your professional growth.
