Hi,
to make things a little bit more clear, I haven't posted this here to find a
job. I just wanted to listen and learn from others experience. I'm sure at
least 10 people had the some problem and found a way to sort it out. Maybe
I'm just looking for a role modal. Everything you and others said will help
me to picture what is waiting for me and will help me to find out how to
start.
