Sloan's Inbox: Did you face any unexpected challenges in your first dev job?

Hey folks! Sloan, DEV Moderator and mascot. I'm back with another question submitted by a DEV community member. 🦥

For those unfamiliar with the series, this is another installment of Sloan's Inbox. You all send in your questions, I ask them on your behalf anonymously, and the community leaves comments to offer advice. Whether it's career development, office politics, industry trends, or improving technical skills, we cover all sorts of topics here. If you want to send in a question or talking point to be shared anonymously via Sloan, that'd be great; just scroll down to the bottom of the post for details on how.

Let's see what's up this week...

Today's question is:

I'm applying for jobs right now and hopefully I'll score a spot somewhere soon. Anyway, I'm wondering, were there any unexpected challenges that you ran into when you first started a career in development? I'm trying to prepare myself for everything right now, so any advice is helpful, thanks!

Share your thoughts and let's help a fellow DEV member out! Remember to keep kind and stay classy. 💚
