I have been lurking this community since ages, and finally decided to join today!
My short life story:
Did my Bachelors in CS from a shitty college in Pune, India. 3 years of Bachelors turned into 4.5 years because I flunked twice.
Angry with myself, I spent a ton of time researching about the CS/IT industry, and figured my interest lay in web dev.
Went through the usual noob path; did a couple of Udemy courses, made some hobby projects, and finally bagged an internship at Red Hat(MEAN stack + graphQL) while pursuing my Masters in the same college(had to, because of bad grades).
Worked hard for 6 months, but fell short in comparison to other interns, and was jobless for another 6 months.
Finally got a job at an early-stage bootstrapped startup and got my ass kicked when my senior got fired. Took the opportunity and was responsible for developing most of the front-end of their product(React, Redux, Node & mySQL).
Quit the startup after 4 months because the work pressure got way too extreme to handle. We were firefighting everyday!
Currently looking for a job, preferably in front-end web dev, but won't mind doing fullstack.
Also focusing on improving my weak DS&Algorithms skills by reading Princeton Uni's books by Robert Sedgewick(Intro to CS & Algorithms 4th Edition), and planning to work my ass off by solving challenges on Hackerrank, etc.
Joined this community, because I felt that I should start sharing my journey.
