Exam

I just took my first qualifying exam for a Software Developer position. Sad to say, I don’t think i’ll pass it. I already know that i got two out of the 10 items wrong. . I think I could’ve done better if I had been able to concentrate more. I wasn’t feeling well today. My throat and my head hurts. huhu…And it took a long time before my brain started working. It felt like I was booting a really old PC.

 I took a qualifying exam for Azeus Solutions, which is a level 5 CMMI company/organization/whatever-they-call-it which means that they only hire really capable software engineers. Well, i don’t really want to work there. I just tried my luck.  (we’ll never know right?) I already heard a lot of stories that workload there is heavy and people who work there are heavily stressed (they have work till saturdays!)… but it comes with high compensation, one of the highest paying companies here in the country i think. Well, there are a lot of ways to earn money. So i’m telling myself not to get depressed.

While i was riding the jeepney home, i thought about the exam and i realized that it wasn’t really that hard. I was just intimidated by the name of the company and the fact that almost everyone who also took the exam are running for laude. I was one of the few who aren’t. That was one of the times that i really felt intimidated to be in a group. Really weird.. I’m a person who isn’t easily intimated. Well, now i know that a group of really intelligent people intimidate me.. Especially if we’re going to take an exam. LOL!
