It is great to hear a successful story from Germany, I am going through the same track and still combating with motivating myself to code after work. My main problem ist, while I was working at the job, I think of programing or how I would learn when I get home, but once I get home, the tiredness of the day just worn me out, so sometimes my goal of 4 days during the week to code might just be like 2. The excitement is still there though when I learn the new concept or get my hand on the project. So i think, you are really good at targeting and persist at what you want. I am looking forward to hearing from your new job experience in the future. Grüße aus Stuttgart, Hanh
Hi Hanh, I also had a similar problem. If I can give you a piece of advice that worked for me, turn the table around. Instead of coding at night, change your daily schedule so that you can code in the morning before going to work. I used to get up at 5:00 and study computer science until it was time to work. This system allows you to have a fresh mind ready to learn. Unfortunately, it also means going to bed at 21:00/22:00, so it can be a bit difficult to get used at first, and it kinda destroys your social life. But it's hard to get there without sacrifices. I wish you luck in reaching your goal! 😉
