I’m so sorry you have had to deal with so many hardships while looking for a job. This is definitely a safe place to express those difficulties, as a lot of us have been in similar situations. Maybe next time we just use a little less vulgarity (foul language)?
I used the term “young devs” to refer to the level of experience, not actual age. I’m 26 years old and would be entering my 6th year in my old profession if I had chosen to stay with it. I consider myself a “young dev” because I’m a year into coding and looking for my first position. This post was intended to be advice for ALL other devs who are looking to break into their first role. It was not to discriminate against age in any way.
I used the tag #womenintech because I am a female in tech. I am a woman in tech expressing my personal experiences, I have the right to use the tag. I also wanted to reach other females as well who are in my position. It wasn’t to exclude men, as I also used other hashtags that do not favor any gender at all. I also never specifically mention any gender in my post. I do apologize though if I offended you by using that hashtag.
I wish you the best of luck looking for a job. It sounds like you are pretty amazing by just the fact that you’ve gotten so many interviews with the big tech companies. Don’t give up. Something will come your way and it’ll be great.
I am kind of embarrassed at how "unchained" my reply to your post was, please forgive me but somehow it touched on something in me. Thank you for your reply as well, your words mean more than I can express here.
Though, on a more light-hearted note, I may consider using #menintech sarcastically online now to further the discussion XD I've always wanted more #womenintech, if only to finally have a fellow nerd to chat with stuff I care about with
