  1. Knowledge Gaps
  • Infinite scrolling
  • Design Systems
  • Project Planning
  • Its hard the think of things I don’t know, because I tend to just google stuff I don’t know. But since I want to focus on something specific to learn about, I managed to find 3 topics that I either don’t know or don’t practice much in my development process that I would like to improve.

4.1 Ideal Job titles

  • Junior Developer
  • React Developer
  • Web Developer
  • Web Engineer
  • UI Developer
  • Frontend Developer
  • Backend Developer
  • Full Stack Developer
  • I think my best bet is applying to React Developer, Frontend Developer, and Full Stack Developer jobs.

4.2 What I noticed while looking at my 3 job titles

  • React developer and Frontend developer jobs tend to have UI mentioned at some point, whether it be in the title or description of the job post
  • The job posts I found preferred people who can do a lot (they mention a lot of languages). Reflecting on it this might be one thing that’s holding me back because I tend to not apply to jobs that I don’t meet ALL the requirements for.
  • Almost all of the job posts I found mention project planning like agile in some way along with communication skills.
