Thank you for this response. I had to reread this over and over again because this has been such a stressful situation for me, but I'm sure there are people who have it harder. I wish I can say that I've learned something from an interview, but I've never had an interview, since my application is always rejected before ever reaching to that stage. I'm usually applying for software engineer positions because of finishing a bootcamp, but since I also try to get involve with the Game-Dev scene here in Seattle, I try to pick up the tools for that too.
I think what I always thought was separating the two things, to keep the Game-Dev or Music stuff on the side and not put it in my resume, just for my tech resume, or my social media brand, but my career mentor from school encouraged me to add the game-dev/music experience in a sense of showing everything if I tailor the wording to apply to tech.
The whole schedule thing is something I would see with a lot of my friends in order to be productive, and I thought I was the weird one who didn't work with a schedule like that. I understand that everyone's productivity works differently, I guess putting in too much detail will be daunting to always try to achieve those.
According to looking up about the Multipotentialite, I do feel like it. Before, I was wanting to just focus on music, music related, audio related work, until discovering programming and developing a newfound passion with this too. I do aim to combine the two passions, but it is where the paths cross, the material is difficult to grasp for me at this time right now. Hence, why I find Audio Software Engineer positions that sparked my interests, but feel way too underqualified for them at the moment.
I get other advice from other software friends in the industry who tell me to just give up the music/audio/game side at the moment and fully focus on tech, which is pretty disheartening to hear because of just having grown up with the music/audio/game side, but they just want to see me succeed into tech as well. I think it's the pressure I face upon myself whenever I go and meet tech people at tech meetups and when I go to any-skill-background of people at game-dev meetups.
Thanks a lot again for your response, it makes me think that there probably is still more reflecting I need to do on myself.
