Accepted a job offer 😊 the job hunt is over!!!
Congrats, Jake!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Ayu 😊😊😊
I'm so happy for you! Congratulations 🎊 🎊 🎊
Thank you Dumebi 😊😊😊
Well done 👏 What was your experience like? I'm at 80 sent applications 10 interviews, 3 offers I didn't accept and 6 rejections for the roles I really wanted. It's getting exhausting
Sadly, your experience sounds very familiar to a lot of other engineers I've talked to over the last few months...and mine wasn't much better. I submitted over 120 applications, received lots of rejection emails, had 19 total interviews between 5 companies of which I was rejected by 3 of them. I was in the last part of interviewing with the 5th when I accepted the offer from the 4th.
The process is really rough right now. Especially when you compare it to a year or 2 ago. With all the layoffs that have gone on over the last several months, there are a LOT of engineers out there looking for jobs. I've seen some positions with more than 1000 applicants 😬 It's really hard to stand out in a crowd like that...
Congrats!
thanks Thomas 😊😊😊
My project is moving from AngularJS to Web Components. I started learning about Web Components and Reactivity in JS.
I'm exploring any JS library that can add Reactivity to my JS codebase.
I found an excellent article about Reactivity
Started a small personal project a little while ago and it's done and up on github :)
Banksy. The documentation definitely needs some work but it's nice to have something I can point to on my resume that i made :)
Oh awesome, Ashe! I almost expected it to be about the graffiti artist, haha. Anywho, congrats on getting this one up and running. 🙌
Creating an account on dev.to lol
Welcome. 😁
Thanks Dumebi! :)
Welcome to DEV Community, Tanweer! 👋🏼😄
Heyy!! Ayu
Thanks! :)
Then.. welcome ! 🎉
Welcome to the community!
Hey Thanks man!
I had a really good morning and a really good hot cup of tea =D
Cheers to that! ☕️ (got a good cup of joe in my hand this AM 😀)
That's awesome :D
Started studying for certifications; continued studying tech courses; designing and shaping the basics of new projs.
I think my anxiety in interviews has gotten a bit better. Also I got 6 interviews this week.
Woot! Wow, that's a heckuva lot of interviews, Elizabeth. I hope those interviews all go well (you got this!!) and that you find something good.
I wrote an article about my struggle with Impostor syndrome and the steps I'm taking to get better. The article blew up more than I anticipated it would. Makes me very happy.
I attended my first Dev mod meet up, and I enjoyed every bit of it.
Not been my best week, but it was a good week at all. ❤️
I have created a proper dad joke of a meme for Meme Monday next week. Looking forward to the cringe-laughs.
I love rats, so rat gifs are always a win :D
Got more 200 followers on dev.to. Haha :D. Follow me if you wanna me tell about Life of Java Developer
I got a chance to talk on Virtual Coffee Podcast about Preptember and Hacktoberfest. And the episode is up this week! 😍
I wrote a post after taking a long break
My app got over 400 visitors in the past 2 weeks. I was very skeptical about paying for it to be listed on a website, but I went through with it. The site that I listed it on(topai.tools) skyrocketed my views.
You can check out the site at wpimagines.com.
Wrote an article here, improved my linkedin, started a new project. Improving .1% per day!
Got my text files linker project working with its MVP features done 💪
It's my first Rust project, so I'm learning still, it's riddled with inane comments... might be an example/tutorial resource? 😅
It's intended to become a replacement for my old bash-builder utility which hasn't seen much love lately since moving more towards python, but I reckoned a tool that allows snippet re-use and deploying single files combined from multiple ones would still be useful as a general purpose.
So... here we are!
