Hi all, so I’m trying to get together a training plan for this year. I’m a software engineer with a several years of experience in the field but it’s difficult to land an Elixir job. I’ve been studying/working with Elixir intermittently these last 2 years. Besides that, at my current work I’ve the opportunity to work with production Elixir a couple of times, but my overall experience isn’t more than a year and a half.
What I did so far:
- Read the complete Elixir documentation
- Read Learn Functional Programming with Elixir
- Read Elixir in Action
- Read Phoenix in Action
- Worked 6 months in a production blockchain related Elixir project
So taking this into account, what steps do you think I can follow to land a job in Elixir? Maybe a formal training? I came across with https://learn-elixir.dev and seems a good idea, but 500 dollar per month is close to impossible to pay for me (I’m not in the USA).
Another idea is to take the certification exams from https://www.erlang-solutions.com/elixir-certification. I’m not sure about how to prepare for this, what to learn and what to practice, and the webpage has very little information about this, I’d be very sad to waste 300 euros to get nothing. Also I’m not really sure if companies actually attach importance to this.
Any clues would be very helpful for me. Thanks!
