Our EvolvE programme is quite unique. It is for people with 3-6 years Development, DevOps or SysAdmin experience, and aims to accelerate your career to senior level in 2-3 years. Our EvolvE participant Natalia Oskina says \u201cI was a mid-level developer, and I was looking for more complex projects that would offer increased challenge in a variety of scenarios.\u201d If that sounds like you read on.<\/p>\n

How does EvolvE work?<\/h2>\n

The goal of the EvolvE programme is to fast-track mid-level technologists to the next level. We take skilled people and give them the breadth and depth of experience required to to be an Equal Experts consultant.<\/p>\n

As soon as you join Equal Experts, you go straight onto a client engagement working alongside senior consultants on real solutions for our customers. This provides an immediate boost to your learning. You\u2019ll be rotated onto a new project every 6-12 months, giving you exposure to a broad spectrum of tech environments and teams.<\/p>\n

Typically, you\u2019ll spend around three years on EvolvE, on 3-5 different projects, with a mix of public and private sector clients, small and enterprise. Your personalised ambitions will help you determine which aspects of consultancy you\u2019d like to develop more deeply, and you\u2019ll have the opportunity to broaden your interests and experience as you see fit. For example, if you\u2019d like to work on your frontend experience, we\u2019ll help you find a team where you can do that.<\/p>\n

As you work, you also get time off-project, which you can use to focus on learning new skills; this might be through self-directed learning, tutorials, talks, hack days or attending conferences. You\u2019ll have ongoing mentoring from senior members of your teams. You\u2019ll also have salary reviews every 6 months, to recognise the growth in your skills and contribution.<\/p>\n

During the programme you will be employed by Equal Experts, at the end you can choose to go off into the wide world of contracting, or remain as an employee.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s it like to be on the EvolvE programme?<\/h2>\n
