Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role requires me to do full stack coding in a daily basis. I am required to do front end coding (angular) and also do the Backend API implementation for the components i create in the frontend. My role requires me to test code and fix bugs that happened and are faced by our users.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given relative amount of responsibility as the time went on as I was excelling in the work i was doing. However after some time I realized that the type of work that I was doing in the team wasn't something I want to do as a career as it started to affect my mental and physical health. Although my team was very supportive and did not put pressure on me I started to struggle at the end.
