every day after i got off my TERRIBLE admin office position a security company, I would go online and teach myself how to write in javascript, than i taught myself frameworks.
Than i started networking and meeting other people who code, not even trying during this time to land a job, just trying to focus on getting to a place where i could be confident in my own abilities .
I continued to BUILD THINGS , and as i did i got better and better.
Soon i was building small apps just for my amusement - at this point the universe placed someone in my life and i was able to , not even trying take a shot at a junior/intern position
the position didnt even pay money, they said basically we will take you on as an intern and can only pay your rent and your car note.
I quit my job and said okay im down
so initially it was never for the job / money / title .
it was just cause i wanted to do what i love
ive been writing in React/rails for 3+ years now, not only do i have an awesome job , but now i'm way better at building things.
everyones journey is different though , good luck on yours .
i believe in the law of attraction though, i feel if your going down this path, a job will come to you.
