Job hunting in tech is not only draining, depressing and unmotivating -
It makes me doubt my skills and knowledge as a frontend developer, maybe I made a mistake.
Being a frontend developer then was simple. All you needed was HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Now, it's React, Next.js, MongoDB, Firebase, D3, SQL, Node, DevOps, .NET, Java, C, Kubernetes, AWS, C++, ML, Docker, Go...
Job hunting as a junior has been so depressing, and now that I've landed a job, I'd like to write an article about the struggles I've faced while job hunting and how I landed my full-time software engineer role.
Would you read it?
Can I just take a moment to say I never thought I'd be a software engineer and working at a great company!! π₯Ή
All the long hours, sleepless nights, doubts and uncertainty I had all lead to who I am today! I'm so happy!
