Hi there! My name is Luiz and I am a Brazilian lawyer who wants to become a programmer. I am currently studying Web Development, focusing on Django and React. I finished CS50: Introduction to Computer Science and I'm going to finish CS50 Web in the next few days, now I want to find out how to change careers to the field I really love.

Hey, Luiz! That sounds like an exciting transition! I was in a similar situation onceβ€”working in law, fascinated by tech, and wondering how to make the leap. I remember researching career changes late at night, stumbling upon a story about a Criminal attorney San Diego who successfully pivoted to cybersecurity. That gave me the push to dive into programming. Since you're already deep into Django and React, you're on the right track! What's your game plan for landing your first dev job?
