I think this post is very, very wrong from bottom to end. 6 months is enough to land a remote web dev role. I did it in around 10 months with part time studies, no networking, just persistence and a good portfolio + github profile.
Do not discourage people trying to get into the industry.
Thank you, but I still argue otherwise. At least abour web development, it's quite fast to find something to work on. The reason why I'm opposing is people need to fight with impostet syndrome that affects most of us. I guess they're right about shooting to the stars but I digress.
It's precisely because of imposter syndrome that I err on the side of caution when speaking about timelines. I would prefer people think on a longer timescale and end up in a situation like yours (e.g. find a job very fast) vs think it's going to be fast and then end up frustrated and confused when it doesn't happen that way.
Again, congrats on your journey. If you decide to write, or have written, about your timeline I'd love to link to it from this post as another perspective.

Congrats to you. I think your situation is unique and atypical -- would prefer to set realistic expectations so people are preferred for the journey.

That's an interesting point of view honestly. Okay then.
Thanks but I'm not a good storyteller so I'll just stick with writing tutorials. Cheers!
