On my first Dev job I was told that I will be working for free as long as i did not produce enough revenue for the company and I should be thankful to be trained for 'free'.

After a month of working hard both in the office and at home the company made me a proposal to hire me as a NodeJS Developer.

The beginning has hard and even I thought I had the basics covered the challenges just blew my mind!

Don't let the fear of failure to stop you from doing what you love, if you don't try you fail for sure!

If you try you can succeed!!!

Shame that made you swallow that bs about being "productive for the company"!

Companies are expected to invest in new talents. A little loss is expected and acceptable.

I agree that the companies should invest in people!

It's sad how many talents are being lost because they don't get the support they deserve!
