Hey Angel!! It took me about a year, maybe a little bit more to get hired as a developer for my very first role. I changed careers from recreation and customer service to tech and taught myself online. It was extremely frustrating and disheartening the amount of times I got told no or never even heard back from jobs that I applied to. You have to remember that you started this journey for a reason and if you quit now, everything that you have done will have been for nothing! YOU CAN DO THIS! YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO DO THIS! I really hope that you keep going and continue to keep your head up and work hard because if you do, eventually someone will give you a chance and you never know when that could be!!! I wish you the best of luck!! 🙏
