How I went through the test period in the "Committee" and did not die

This is the text from 2018, which was never published by me. Grammar and punctuation are preserved.

I want to remind you of the position of the very - Junior product manager . For such a time, you think about the whole company as a whole, about the essence of work, about the pros and cons of work sitting at home. Several people asked me to talk about how they work in the committee. Therefore, hold!

Prologue

By the link above, you can see the date of publication of the post from Denis - March 12. I got a job on April 6th. Therefore, I decided to break the story into several parts. Let the heading “TJ are looking for ...” not at all surprise you, the committee has several more sites, but he chose a teza due to the fact that the audience is more familiar with the inner cuisine of the company, or Denis just loves TJournal more.

After thinking about everything, talking with the inhabitants of the Rapture chat, I came to the conclusion that you can try to write a letter to Denis and offer my candidacy. I wrote on March 13, a day later. Not to say that I was excited, it is nothing to say nothing. Almost every day I checked the publication and mailbox itself. Only after 10 days they answered me to the letter. The letter began with the phrase: "Hello! I came about 40 applications and now I got to your ...". I felt sad from the realization that another 40 people claim to this place. I did not make it possible to score everything on it, and decided to answer Denis's questions, he suggested talking to Skype.

There were only 2 stages of the interview. The first stage was a brief description of oneself, its qualities and so on. To call this resume is quite difficult. Between the first and second stage was an intermediate interview on Skype. Denis asked in general only about me, any questions that could show my personal qualities he did not ask. Well, the second stage, already a test of knowledge.

April 3, I answered all the letters of Denis on April 2. Thunder struck from where he did not wait. VKontakte received a notification of a friend's application. Vladislav Tsyplukhin. Here it is already possible to finish the prologue, for further, this is a discussion of what I will do mainly and so on. Already on April 9, Denis drops all the necessary data to me, and officially entering a trial period for 3 months.

Warp

Over the past 3 months, the word "foundation" has taken specifically in my subconscious. The basis is the name of the base, code, ecosystem, what to stay on vc.ru, dtf, tjournal. The first week I met many processes within the committee, found out what and how, how sprints and so on are. Denis himself was quite busy, so I asked him questions if I did not understand what to do in some cases at all, I did not want to distract.

Among daily tools are Slack, Jira, Helpscout and Telegram. I think not everyone is interested in what they do in these environments. Of my responsibilities for these three months, there were: testing new features, bugofixes, then began to answer the questions of users in technical terms. In the end, I was set to manage mobile applications. There it was necessary to go to React-Native and increase the speed and smoothness of the applications.

Salary 💰

The first month is 25, then 30. And finally 35. For a student of the Mattaka, it was very ok. There were problems on the schedule, and devoting all 8 hours of working time was not implied possible. Therefore, I was usually on the network from 12 hours.

By the end of the trial period, I began to persuade the dean to give me a free visit. It seems to be given out.

What after?

I hope that I will work with the guys in the company next. And I can get a cool experience in PM and QA. We will make tzh even cooler!

Thank you cats
