Thanks for sharing your experiences after 180 days of searching for a job. If you're looking for your first role as a software engineer, it's definitely a journey (and a tough one, at that) to land your first gig, especially if you are coming from a less traditional background.
Keep fighting the good fight, and take care of yourself during these times. Feel free to reach out if I can help at all - I'm 5 years into my career in software, started as a self-taught developer, and constantly thinking about where my career can go from here.
Thanks so much for your response! I really appreciate the kind words. I'd love to chat sometime if you're free and hear about your 5 year journey in software engineering.
