Just wanted to share my story for those struggling.
My first dev job out of boot camp I made 1 thousand dollars a month and worked a ton of hours.
Every few months or so I tried to move up.
My progression
12k Year 50K Year , 75K year, 125K year
I sucked for a long time before I became competent. Was fired from the 50k Job for not being skilled enough. A week later got a call about the 75k job. Worked there for 10 months and then got a job making 125K Per year.
I learned maybe 10 percent of what I needed to know after I graduated from a boot camp in late 2016 and had done little programming before this.
Every job interview I have had I am completely honest, almost to a fault, but I feel that presenting myself as authentically as I can will make sure that I always feel good about what I’m doing and limit imposter syndrome.
When I was working the low paying job, it was tough, but I knew the experience was what I really needed to improve.
If you want to change your life, have an interesting career that is never boring it can happen if you never give up.
I was almost 36 when I started a bootcamp for those interested.
