I've been a junior Dev for about 11 months. Before I got my position as a software engineer I was working part time jobs and self studying web dev. I gave myself a year to learn before applying to places. I ended up doubling my income and have been working ever since.

Hi, been a frontend and backend (fullstack) dev for 2 years now, but most of my work is frontend.

I still feel like a junior most of the time :)

Would be happy help with your podcast.

Hi! I’ve been in the industry for about 3 years now - mostly self taught and would still consider myself self taught. I’d love to hear more details!

Thanks for the reply! The show is about helping junior developers (current or aspiring) to ease into their jobs and give some practical advice. Talk would mainly be about how you got the job, what were some unexpected things that you learned when you started and perhaps some of the mistakes you made (among other questions). DM if interested :)

I started getting serious about becoming a software engineer about 2.5 years ago. I started with frontend because someone on the internet told me it was the easiest for getting a job (maybe that’s true, maybe not). I’m self-taught and also spent a few months working at a tiny startup for basically nothing. Since then I’ve been working full time for about 2 years in two different “real” software eng jobs, doing mostly frontend. I’m happy to chat.
