Congratulations Luc. I did my Chemical Engineering 15 years back, then gone for MBA, then became a govt bank officer. After, 10 years in bank, I decided to quiet my job to pursue my dream regards to some IT projects.
Just like you, I also keep apply apply apply what I learn.
This is my story about getting a job. It’s nothing fancy. It’s about fighting for my dream, pursue it and, achieved it against all odds.
This is wonderful. You will succeed. You are awesome!
Great post! Congratulations on your new job!
Thank you.
Congratulations new job :) I'm almost in your age (38) and from more than 10 years I do websites in small local company (low tech, js, custom php cms - old school) and since 2016 I was tired all that struggle with promotion, almost zero progress, old tech, etc but I liked my comfort zone. And than my daughter was born changing everything. Now it's hard to learn new things, but I try working 8 hours, than family time and when wife and kid goes to sleep I sit and code. I do not recommend this way :) Instead think of your future ahead and F your comfort zone as it will someday kill you if you not leave it.
Hope, on my 40 I will be working as a nodejs dev (self employed or in corp.).
Cheers mate:)
Tener la valentía de reinventarte contra viento y marea, y el tesón para perseguir tus sueños, ya te hace alguien especial. Nunca pierdas eso.
Felicidades por el nuevo trabajo, Luc. Mucha suerte y disfruta del camino.
Mil gracias.
Thank you for your story. I went to school for web and graphic design in 2005-2006 and did a few sites then 2008 hit and I left my passion and am now trying to reteach myself on off time. I’m almost 40 and have been told I am wasting my time. It got me down and I stopped studying for about 4 months. I had enough self doubt that those negative comments just confirmed it. But my journey and what I want isn’t dictated by their views. So I am back at it. Thanks again and you gained a follower on Twitter!
This is inspiring for all of us still hoping to be a dev.
Congratulations, and the best of luck! :)
your life can be whatever you want it to be, given that you persist. All the best.
