niel63 and others who gave a constructive criticism when I posted my portfolio project here, I want to specially thank you.

After several failures and trials, I finally got a tech job as a front-end web developer.

I have been on my graduate job for 8yrs now but my first tech job which is remote pays me more. Funny enough, I still do both. My onsite job is presently not stressful, so I write code while at work using company power.

My advice to newbies, the road is not rosy but there is definitely gonna be light at the end of the road if you persist.

1. I applied for jobs everywhere but mostly indeed and linkedin. The one I finally got is from LinkedIn.
Mind you, before getting this one, I have done atleast 7 interview job test that I failed.

2. I work as an Engineer in a a manufacturing firm. I still work there.

3. For Devs looking for similar role. Don't give up, keep learning and applying for jobs. Provided you don't give up, it will definitely pay someday.

Congratulations...

Congratulations 🎉

Didn't they need work experience

Congratulations

Didn't they need work experience

I have work experience, perhaps not in a standard setting. I have been implementing my task so far without complain. In fact, I have more than earned their confidence.

I have once written a complete Ponzi application from frontend to backend. Yeah. I gave a UI/UX designer to do the design but I built the app from start to finish, hosted it on AWS elastic beanstalk. The hosting just expired last month else I would have posted the URL here. While learning, I watched a very impacting MERN stack course. After finishing the course. I started all over again to build the application myself from start to finish and even incorporated many other features not in the first one. I have had many job test invites that has to do with building out what is existent in a figma file. Many of those jobs, I didn't get them but I make sure I build those things to completion. Those stuff made my hand very strong.

As it is, I hardly have any issue implementing JavaScript or CSS functionalities. So deg and translating design mockups and wireframes into functional and interactive web from a figma or other design tool is an easy deal for me.

In my present company, which is a start up, there is a Figma file I am working on along with another frontend guy. I met the guy there. So far, I have helped the guy implement 3 functionalities that he pended as a result of not being able to implement.

Motivating! I have been into web development for over 4 years but I wasted a lot of those years freelancing for Nigerians for peanuts.

I started applying on LinkedIn late September and I have been on 3 interviews and got 1 but had to quit after one week. I got a role as a full stack developer for a startup Portuguese company but we were just 3. There was no standard and we had problem with communication. The first guy can't speak English. The person that employed me could speak English but I couldn't understand what he says, maybe because of the Portuguese accent. We held meetings on LinkedIn which is very wrong because there was no screen sharing and he can't convey the task appropriately. The team was very inexperienced and had unrealistic expectations. Who builds e-commerce website in 24 hours? I had to quit in 1 week because I can't progress in that setting.

I have worked on a freelance basis for an American crypto startup for 6 months and the experience was amazing, unfortunately, the startup didn't succeed because the owners made mistakes during feasibility studies and we couldn't get the data we required from etherscan API to make the project work.

So I am currently looking for a full stack role in a north American or European company. If their is a vacancy in your company I am counting on you for a recommendation.

Writing code for a company that's not faang sucks


You are to experience severe burn out and mental trauma if it's a nigerian company
