I was on work placement for college (technically my first job) and was in a coworking space and the person sitting behind me needed a web developer to help with their start up.
Am still working there 3 and a half years later
frankli.io for anyone interested
That's awesome, Shane! Were you familiar with their stack when you joined?
Nope, had to learn as we went along
Pure unadulterated luck.
Sticking around may have required some gumption I guess.
I was working as IT support before my college graduation. At that time, I was doing an intern. The firm needs some updates for interior applications, and I've offered me to do that. After my college graduation, they hired me, and later I have accepted a job as a developer to another company.
I was forced into it.
I was an Operations intern at Microsoft Online China, but I helped a project manager making websites when their devs are busy at other projects.
When I graduated from college, I applied for Software Development Engineer and became a full time dev making websites.
Sadly, none of the websites is still online after 10 years.
