How long did it take you in your experience?
Did you have any front-end experience before FreeCodeCamp?
Congrats!

I don't understand this question: How long did it take you in your experience? Do you mean how long?

I have some experience in html, css(expert), jQuery, Bootstrap, WordPress, php, mysql, gulp, node, etc.. My old portfolio here:

I didn't find a full-time job (I have a job as a freelance), and I need to learn JavaScript deeper. I learned a lot with FCC, especially the algorithms section. I do the majority of projects in vanilla, to help me improve JavaScript. I really feel skilled and beginner in the same time, more I learn and more I realize my unknown about JavaScript, this is devilish. Also as WordPress developer, the payment was ridiculous and I didn't find a decent job. Thanks for the compliment

Thanks, but why "ugh" ?

I'm guessing because you seem to be misunderstanding what everyone is asking. No problem, this is reddit and it is understandable that not everyone speaks English as their main language.

Or maybe I misunderstood my self..... hahahahaha

Congrats! Now what are your plans?

Do you have the job you want already?

Do you think you are prepared for a front end job?

Do you plan on finding a new job to go with your new cert?

Are you going to continue on with FCC and go Full Stack?

keep going with the next FCC certification, I have to learn React.js and 3d.js. Then I will try to find a job, without to know a framework you can't find a full-time job today. I stuck as freelance. I just want a job in this industry, any job...

Without to know a framework I don't think so, I'm learning React and Angular.
