You're welcome to pause your job searching, but when it kicks back up, you'll find you might need to learn ___ now, and end up more or less back where you started, except with some pre-existing experience to build ontop of.
You made a point here.🤔 I think the best thing for me to do is just to learn the basics of HTML, CSS, and mainly JavaScript. Build projects and learn about new libraries and frameworks along the way. At this point, I'm open to applying for non-coding jobs. Just to get my first tech job and move on from there.
Then you can compare that relative to what you currently know, and then estimate how long it will take to get to what is asked in the job post. If that estimation looks like it isn't doable in your expected time frame, then maybe shift to a different job with different requirements?
Another point well made. I've been practicing my coding skills for quite some time now. I'm getting better but not 100% yet. I was hoping to get a job this summer BUT doesn't look it will work out that fast. So now I'm giving myself another 2-3 months. In the mean time, I'll look up apprenticeships and just keep applying for jobs that seem doable with the level of experience I have.
