The promise that they made me was that i would get a frontend track to learn more about frontend and to potentially get a job. Once i started i realised they didn't have a track for me and basically do some more self-study and trying to find some projects within the company at different business units. </p> <p>I've been here since October and i've been struggling to keep motivated to learn everything. Company's that ask for developers usually look for people who eat, sleep and breathe code and although i love coding and learning etc. When im home i don't really wanna code anymore. </p> <p>I've been learning Angular(2+) for a while now and i'm also interested in Java (but also because company's look for java developers rather than frontend developers) and i just wanna start anywhere. I like frontend a lot more but im pretty desperate to get out into the big world and actually work in scrum teams and kickstart my career. </p> <p>I have knowledge of HTML, CSS and Javascript. I do need to learn OOP a lot better but i'm planning to learn that with Java as i find Javascript pretty tough sometimes.</p> <p>Anyone else experienced the same as a junior trying to get started? Got any tips for me? </p> beginners devstruggles dev
