Video Description:
Breaking into tech is tougher than most people think, and the journey to becoming a developer is filled with misleading promises and unrealistic expectations. In this video, Iā€™m pulling back the curtain and sharing the brutal truth about why most aspiring developers fail to land their first jobā€”and how you can avoid making the same mistakes.

Weā€™ll dive deep into the biggest misconceptions about salaries, the harsh reality of the learning curve, and why simply knowing how to code isnā€™t enough. This isnā€™t about discouraging you; itā€™s about preparing you for whatā€™s ahead so you can succeed where others give up.

Whether you're just starting or feeling stuck in your coding journey, this video will challenge your mindset, ground your expectations, and give you the no-BS advice you need to keep going when things get tough. If youā€™re serious about becoming a developer, you need to hear this.
