Tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm originally from a small town in Brazil and I began programming when I was 15 years old because I enjoy playing video games. That was the main reason I started - I had a game that I really enjoyed and decided to start a server for it. The servers were written in C++, which was a very low level language, and I learned a lot from it; then I needed to create a website, so I learned PHP, and everything fell into place.
What were you looking for in your next job opportunity?
I was looking for a more enjoyable experience. When I was working for a company in Brazil, I felt like I was always giving it my all, but I was always looking for new challenges. I was eager to learn more. I didn't have anyone to mentor me, so I sought it out in my next job search.
How did you find Flatworld?
I found Flatworld on an Instagram ad. It actually took some time for me to click on the ad because I didn't think it was possible for me to get a job at the time, and I was terrified. The thing that got me to try was when I asked a friend who had already done a Flatworld interview, and they said it was good, so I tried it out.
How would you describe your experience with Flatworld?
I had a lot of fun with the Flatworld process. The Flatworld test was very focused on what I could do as a Data Engineer. The interview at Cherre was the only thing that surprised me. There were a lot of interviews, and they were very thorough which is a really good thing.
What makes the opportunity at Cherre a great fit for you?
Cherre is a data company, and I was working as a Data Engineer while also looking for a Fullstack role. Another reason was that I have some coworkers at Cherre who are on the same level as me - a familiar face is always welcome.
Would you recommend us to a friend? What would be your number one selling point?
Yes, I would recommend Flatworld to a friend. Flatworld's main selling point is how quick the process is and how welcoming the people are.
