After multiple interview rounds I finally got the job I wanted.

I have no degree. I didn't waste one year doing National Youth Sex Corps. I didn't waste my time on ALX bullshit. I didn't waste money on those FRAUDcamps in Lagos, yet I still got job offers and had to choose the one I considered the best.

Yet when you go on social media you will see idiots saying that the job market is tough. "AI will collect our jobs." Blah blah blah.

I turned my mind off those stupid narratives and focused on improving my skills, expanding my tech stack and building my portfolio and CV.

Now look at me.

HTML and CSS merchants on Twitter posting their landing pages and getting stupid likes from fellow fools are still jobless.

Useless mofos that spend more time on Twitter than on their code editors are still jobless.

Bitter trolls that insulted me on this forum when I spoke the truth are still jobless.

But see me, I have a job. And I'll have more if I choose to resign today.

While my mates were building all kinds of landing pages using all the animations libraries on NPM, I was busy learning Redux, React Query and NextJs.

When bastards on Twitter were mastering all the CSS features and HTML tags ever invented, I was busy mastering TypeScript.

While morons were busy building their one page websites with zero complicated logic, I was busy solving leetcode questions and creating complex features on my projects

You can't do things fools do and expect to get smart person's reward

Whenever I had interviews my interviewers were always amazed. Because I spoke like someone that's been in the field for years. Certain times I even introduced them to concepts they didn't know of.

But what can landing page merchants discuss other than talking about CSS and HTML tags? Even the react they claim they know, it's still basic level. Ask them about RTK Query, Zustand, SSR, UseMemo and UseCallback etc and they will be looking at you like dead fishes.

I can come here and boast because I have earned the right to boast. All my hard work was not in vain and you know what's even scarier? I'm just starting. The world will hear my name. I will not stop learning neither will I stop developing my skills.

If you like keep listening to fools saying Tech is dead. Whatever you channel your mind to is what will shape your reality.

If you like go on YouTube and listen to frauds telling you Devin AI will replaced developers. If you like keep opening threads by pessimists claiming that there are no jobs. Whatever you believe is what will happen to you

As for me, I'll keep soaring higher and higher in this field. One day you people will watch me on TV receiving global awards in tech.

Dey play

Weldone night-worker!

More win to you and everyone out there grinding at odd hours.

Congratulations on your new job.

You've got the tech skills. Now what you need are behavioural and communication skills.

will you just shut up please? Blabber mouth with your audio job. I won't be surprised if after all these your pointless ranting you're still jobless and just using all these nonsense to chase clout.

If he/she truly got the job, then the employers and clients are in big trouble

The temperament is awful

CORPSEFUCKER:
Just forking kys you mf web dev fàg




You'll never be a real engineer


You don't know how to build a compiler , don't know DSA and design patterns , can't implement a linear search

Leet code was built to filters out losers like you from chads

Cope and seethe with your 50k salary if you do infact have a job, fággot

See this clown.

I've been solving DSAs for over a year. I literally spend my free time on leetcode.

50k salary? Lol My salary is over 1 million naira a month and it's a foreign company. Did you know how many interview rounds I did? You think it's all these anyhow companies? Dey play

Broke, frustrated fool.

Can you live in happiness without comparing yourself with others??
I'm curious how you've been able to live all these years before landing a job, you must've have felt you're loosing in life.
Congratulations tho

You have nothing to prove to anyone than to enjoy your money. You can also read about compiler and DSA in the future when you need to branch out. Not every company needs such unless you're working on porting code to another platform.

Devdevdev I came here to congratulate you only to see how insultive and hot tempered you are .
You're just an emotional baby girl. You got discouraged and depressed from negative comment and decided to push hard.

You don't need to rant much, most of us here face similar challenges and still smile daily. I know myself I'm a senior dev guy and I'm not earning enough at all but we don't even rant or act depressed or throw tantrums lol.

Just calm down, apply for noun university so you'll get your degree in some years to come. You will need that degree trust me lol.

Hmmmm I'd say maybe doing Aptech and finishing in Mauritius it's cheaper and prestigious, but she will keep improving and getting more jobs. That's how it starts, to be honest she's free to gloat, she worked hard, but 4 days of gloating is the limit lol

Nigerian company ?

qtguru:


Nigerian company ?

yes oooo Nigerian company

What channel do you use in receiving payment or does the company you now work for provide one for you?

Omo tone down on your negativity o, I don't see the need for all these insults. Some of the so called JavaScript enthusiasts never knew better, they were just victims of YouTubers and Twitter influencers who told them they should just learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript and they are good to go. Some of us are privileged to have found the right information online and decided to walk the path many people run from. No guts, no glory. But still chill sha. Congratulations by the way, you have given me a little motivation right now

A lot of developer jobs are through connections and not what you know.

Explain further please

Congratulations but work on your temperament and communication skills. Soft skills will get you much farther in the tech industry than your technical skills. I am happy for you.

Devdevdev

Chatgpt will still take over your job

Nvidia latest powerful processor in combination with AI will render you redundant

This guy is a confirmed Sadi's his high level of arrogant would not allow him to work with anyone. Celebrate your job today but if care is not taken your attitude (rude) will still snatch it away from you

What is the best path, what path would you advise a beginner to tow.

If they were on my team, I'm definitely not not rating them high with this communication style. The bragging is of the scale! Like wtf!
