      Java Development

      Java developer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Want to learn java and have never done it before training is quite good.

      Cons

      Go to UK for €170 per week for 16 weeks. Promises of loads of jobs but most people in Ireland are never placed. €26,000 for a java developer is way below average for working in Dublin. Get more as a graduate.Tied in for 90 days after doing their academy which means you can't work with anybody else either. From your first day of employment you are tied to that money for 2 years.

      Pros

      Huge blue chip company connections will get yout through the door at places where you wouldn't have been considered before. Training is pretty good Good learning environment

      Cons

      Hefty fees No pay during training (which can be 3-4 months) Won't have much luck doing the training if you don't have family near a training centre to live for free/cheap

      Exciting adventure after graduating

      Pros

      The training is highly-standard, taught by really good trainers, in where you learn a huge range of skills related to the IT world (SQL, Excel, UNIX, WebApp...) While the time you attend in the Academy (training), you can ask for the reimbursement of the travel expenses, which helps a lot. If you are not placed just when you finish your training and you have to wait some weeks, in the meantime, they offer you different ways to upskill in your IT area: free unlimited access to Pluralsight, free to join another course in the Academy... You receive a really good training on how to prepare for client interviews, with plenty of tips and mock interviews. The clients who FDM work for are big companies, big names, and usually, are located in main cities of the UK. During your placement, you receive full attention of the Consultant Support team and from your Account Manager.

      Cons

      The fact of being geographically flexible in the UK could be a problem sometimes, depending on which is your situation. The salary is not quite a lot, but most of the employees are recent graduates, so we can not expect too much. If you break the contract before 2 years, you have to pay to FDM the training fees, which are £20.000 Despite the fact the training was really good, I think that's too much for just some weeks. I would say that's the only important con of FDM.
