What does a Romanian tech junior look like?

High potential

It is no secret that Romanian tech universities are top tier in terms of student tuition. In fact, Romania is in the top 5 Eastern European Countries for the sheer amount of software developers and top 20 worldwide for the most skilled ones. It is safe to say Romanian tech juniors have a strong, results-oriented start from the get-go.

Fast learning

Technologies constantly evolve, and tech juniors are well aware of that. Thus, they adopted a fast learning mentality in order to keep up with this fast paced field. They might not know every single task detail right now, but will do everything possible to learn and thrive in the shortest amount of time.

Motivated

Romanian tech juniors are driven to get real-world experience and help build software solutions. They are eager to expand their horizon and put in the work, as there are plenty of tech juniors, yet not enough Romanian companies.

Proactive

A plethora of other skills like problem solving, critical thinking and attention to detail makes Romanian tech juniors deeply involved in whatever task is at hand, while still thinking about the bigger picture and how they can improve it. They look at the current work, its problems and its possibilities, and come up with ways to close the gap between said problems and possibilities.

Passionate

These tech juniors are passionate about software development and everything it entails. This passion is seen through their projects and personal work, as well as through their dedication in every minute of working. „Tech” is more than just a job field for them, it is the area where they can devote themselves to create results.
