So a recruiter for a company has been contacting me on LinkedIn. I finished what they wanted me to finish.

The recruiter takes several days to get back to me about the assessment I submitted (using xunit which I have never used and learned specifically for this position). The manager over developers was the one who linked up with me on LinkedIn and I messaged them on LinkedIn and they got back with me super quick and said he received the assessment and was going to look over it when he has free time.

Was it the right move to message the developer manager and go over the recruiter for the same company? Or does that show that I’m showing initiative that I want the position for their entry level spot?

He seemed super thrilled that I submitted the assessment in a timely manner and even took a sneak peak at it before he actually dove right into it. I’m really wanting my first developer job.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with what you did, probably does show initative - and normally a contract with a recruiter will prohibit a company from separately hiring someone they find through said recruiter, so they won't lose out either.

    Nothing wrong with that, just keep aggressively hunting until you actually find something, and don't assume the positive vibes you're getting mean you have the position. (That last one is the worst mistake I see people making.)

    That sounds fine but my red flag would be that you had to put effort into learning xunit. That sounds quite strange. No shots fired.

    @Crost I'm a boot camp grad and my boot camp never even brought up error handling or anything like that so I didn't know. I'm thankful for what I learned. But out in the real world I realized they didn't teach us what we needed to know. I'm not blaming them. I'm just saying the curriculum was not as good as it should've been for the money.

    Also do not forget recruiters cost big $$$, perhaps this is why they're giving it some thought?

    Anyway showing assertiveness is always good imo
