🔥 1 On 1 Mentorship With Me - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching
-
I invited several Fullstack Academy graduates, who are now software engineers, for a round-table discussion, focused on talking about topics that help junior developers. They also happen to have helped me mentor over a thousand junior developers that have come through our developer Meetup. The entry-level market is becoming more saturated, so we made sure to give tons of advice on how to stand out from other applicants and to not get discouraged.
Topics/Questions:
5:56 - Coding bootcamps have oversaturated the entry level market for developers
13:43 - Why are junior developers struggling to find a job when there are so many open positions?
30:59 - What are some of the main reasons aspiring developers aren’t getting jobs?
44:18 - Thoughts on courses that promise to teach you everything you need to know
49:38 - Is being dependent on third party libraries and frameworks a bad thing?
1:23:41 - Last piece of advice for junior developers
