Maybe it's just me, but taking dev work from a little side gig to a salaried career is more difficult than I thought it'd be. Soooo many applications going out with nothing back, recruiters ghosting...maybe it's just a bad time for jobs in general but good lord is it exhausting and stressing me the hell out.

    Getting the first job is always the most difficult but it gets easier from there. You can do it!

    Hey mate make sure to have your CV short but full with projects.
    It means everything to have a GitHub account with projects and correct commit messages, code formatted correctly and so on.
    Good luck and stop stressing, you need a job but not as much as companies need good engineers (i would know i have one)

    @coldfire Can confirm the September surge thing. I've been seeing more open roles now compared to a few months ago.
