Video Description:
When I was trying to break into the software development field, I used to dread rejection. Every rejection email, every interview where I was told I wasn’t a good fit—it all felt like confirmation that I wasn’t cut out for this. As someone without a CS degree, I constantly battled that voice in my head telling me I didn’t belong, that I wasn’t smart enough. But over time, I learned that rejection wasn’t just inevitable—it was essential for my growth as a developer.

In this video, I share my journey of overcoming rejection and why you should embrace it as part of your coding journey. I talk about the importance of self-assessment, how to use rejection to improve your skills, and the value of building a system that keeps you motivated and focused on your goals, even when things get tough.

If you’re struggling with job rejections or feeling stuck in your learning process, I hope this video gives you some practical advice and encouragement to keep moving forward. Remember, every rejection is a stepping stone to becoming a better developer.
