Good article. Makes me sad though as I'm a self taught web dev starting out. Just gonna keep going though. Nothing much else to do tbh.

Don't give up. You got this.

[-] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Thank you for the words of encouragement.

Every rejection is a step forward. It's only failure if you learn nothing from it

You’re not alone. I feel this way too. I don’t know what else to do so I’m just going to keep going, but it definitely seems bleak at times.

I love making things and I love figuring out how stuff works so at least it’s not a chore for me.

Thanks. Yeah, it definitely seems bleak. I just keep making things though while trying to basically get a CS degree without the actual piece of paper. Lots of resources online and I have family and friends in the industry, so that helps keep me motivated.

Same. I’m in a bootcamp and college and I have 3 years experience being a sys admin for the gov. I think there’s a serious chance I’ve been rejected for every tech job on the internet.
