Hi everyone, I’d like to hear the opinions of those already in the field or those trying to break into it.
I’m a Computer Science student, and I’ve been trying to land my first opportunity as a developer, but so far, I haven't succeeded.
Throughout this time, I’ve kept studying and trying to improve. Currently, I’m focusing on Python, data structures, and databases, and I’m starting to dive deeper into the Spring ecosystem. I also try to build projects to put what I learn into practice, but the biggest challenge remains getting that first professional experience.
What discourages me the most is looking at current Junior Developer job listings. Many seem to require an absurd amount of knowledge: years of experience, Java, Spring Boot, Docker, cloud, microservices, testing, CI/CD, advanced English, and various other technologies. Sometimes it feels like the "Junior" role is closer to a Mid-level position.
