It’s not pretty, and could come loose. Solder is conductive, so the current will transfer correctly. It’s not advised to have solder connections like that because they are fragile. So you can keep
It if it’s the best you can do
Hello nomad, maybe resoldering it is a good idea. One HUGE tip I can give you is to presolder wire by warming it up and rubbing the solder onto the wire, this will make is easier when you go to solder it to a board or another wire.
That's good advice, josh. The process is called Tinning. Meaning, you add a bit of solder to the tip first, then hold it against the wire to heat up the wire. Then add the solder to the wire once it's heated up to absorb in.

thanks dj
i over size the pic for better understanding.

hi thats the way i do it too.
Also, for the strongest solder joint, remember that you don't melt the solder with the iron. Rather, you want the wire to melt the solder.
hi mac
yes indeed.
thanks

there's always the NASA soldering technique, a bit much in my opinion.
