Accepted a job offer π the job hunt is over!!!
Congrats, Jake!!! πππ
Thanks Ayu πππ
I'm so happy for you! Congratulations π π π
Thank you Dumebi πππ
Well done π 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 π¬ It's really hard to stand out in a crowd like that...
Congrats!
thanks Thomas πππ
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. π
Creating an account on dev.to lol
Welcome. π
Thanks Dumebi! :)
Welcome to DEV Community, Tanweer! ππΌπ
Heyy!! Ayu
Thanks! :)
Then.. welcome ! π
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! βοΈ (got a good cup of joe in my hand this AM π)
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. β€οΈ
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! π
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 πͺ
It's my first Rust project, so I'm learning still, it's riddled with inane comments... might be an example/tutorial resource? π
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!
