@prnvbirajdar Thank you for this post! You have an awesome resilience. I started my journey into web Dev at the same time you did yours, but I think for a long time I have had the wrong mindset towards it. I have believed that I have to have spend so many years learning before I can start out my first job. But this has increased confidence in me, I can do this in six months from now.

I can only imagine how hard it'd have been for you as a married man to strive

You've also taught me something that I have lacked, that is the being immersed into the Developer Community. You have really inspired me and it will be evident in days to come

👍

Honestly, even I was not sure about my abilities and was planning to go to school full-time. I decided to interview for a few months before I went to back to determine if the market accepts a self-taught dev.

Definitely get involved in the dev community. It'll only help you grow.
