I quit my job last week and I’m starting as a full time mobile developer in January. I’m so goddamn excited.

With no university degree, I’ve finally gotten an in as a developer!

Dude, which country are you from?

Congrats! Now go smash it 💪

That's great! As a self-taught I'm curious. How much time did it take to get a job as a developer? Is there any tip you can give?

Congrats!
I'm so jealous. I'm stuck in my boring yet relatively high paying IT job for 7 months now, been trying to apply for mobile and full stack jobs when nobidy's watching but get denied every time because no experience and no degree.

@gitcommit in total, 5 years. But that includes two _long_ pauses where I was in other jobs.

Not really sure what advise I can give, but it helped having some code on Github and especially having some apps published in the AppStore and Play Store (they mentioned that multiple times)

@clovisIrex I rang the contact person in the ad and asked about the job. I said that I didn’t have a degree but that I’d been programming for years and had published apps in the stores on iOS and Android. When I emailed my resume and cover letter I started the email with “Nice talking to you last Friday...” to make him remember me.

@JonStodle
Yeah that's the difference between you and me. I have less than a year dev experuence and 0 projects completed.
