here for the learning, sharing & encouragement! drop me a line | hoping to be someone who 'worked hard to make it & instead of slamming the door shut, holds it open for others'
Thanks for sharing Malcolm, I'm not at the stage of applying yet but I feel alllllllll the impatience and self-doubt about putting in so many hours learning to code and putting myself out there (imposter syndrome much?!) on the faith that effort + practice + chasing opportunities = something will happen down the track. Even though I haven't walked that walk yet, other developers say it only takes one yes, and it sounds like you are doing everything you can to make that 'yes' happen. ππΌ As well as a positive approach. So I just wanted to encourage you to keep going πͺπ» and to listen to your partner and community's encouragement! (and to thank you for sharing - I feel less alone) Gonna follow your journey on Twitter now. Cheers! Kat
Thank you so much for your kind words Kat! It really does mean a lot to me :D!
Comments like these give me hope and let me know that I should keep pushing. Yes it is true, we are not alone, together we can accomplish many things as Devs! Especially with the market today with more and more demand for Devs across the board as we keep practicing and getting better there will be no choice but to hire us for our hard effort once the work begings to show for itself!
As for the imposter syndrome, I say once you have a few good projects under your belt, just try to update your CV reflecting the skills/ languages/ frameworks and relevant experience you have learnt. And start applying, have a feel for the market with the first few calls you have with recruiters, hiring managers, 1st round interviews etc and once you get the practice in , it will feel less daunting.
But yes as we say it only takes one Yes! So keep pushing!πͺπ»
