We even have a year long capstone project where we try to create a enterprise-level application where we present to companies. Our capstone had 35 people which was a lot of developers and required a lot of planning. So personally as a developer I feel confident in my skills to contribute to a real company. Especially since along side of my degree I've been learning other skills like React. </p> <p>I feel like I've hit a rock. This is more of a vent post but genuine advice would be amazing. I've been applying to jobs the past 3 weeks in a lot places not just local. Unfortunately I haven't even heard one reply from them. Which to be fair their hiring process can take that long to get back. Unfortunately, I've been just worrying about bills. </p> <p>It just sucks that I feel stuck right now and obviously it might turn around soon. But I feel the ever weary dread in the back of my mind about bills and not finding a job in time. </p> <p>If anyone reads this. Thanks for reading my little vent and if you have a question, suggestions, etc. Feel free to comment away. </p> personal advice Cash Carlson Sun, 01 Nov 2020 06:32:21 +0000 https://dev.to/cash12121/completed-my-first-hacktoberfest-42p1 https://dev.to/cash12121/completed-my-first-hacktoberfest-42p1 <p>Two days ago I finally finished my first Hacktoberfest challenge.
