I learned on my own for about a half a year? Then I reached out to the local Facebook programmer community looking for a part time job or an internship. During the whole time I was a self-employed language teacher. One guy from a small company took me aboard and I got to spend about a month working on different projects. I had no idea what I was doing and people in the company had no time to invest in me. So I quit and started looking again using job portals. This time for a full time job. I fixed myself a portfolio page and tidied up my GitHub repos. I contacted around 30 companies in my city and went to approximately 15 interviews. I got two offers. One at a SaaS company similar to SAP one at an insurance company. I joined the SaaS, didn't like it and quit after a month. At this time I had no other income so I desperately contacted the insurance company. They took me in. And that was my first developer job.
