You're 100% right. By following a very similar path, I went from having no coding experience to becoming a full stack engineer in a local small web development startup. I managed to land a job by teaching myself the MERN stack (Mongoose, Express, React and Node) under 3 months. I also learned how to use Next, a full stack framework for production. It's my favorite framework to date. I personally recommend that all those who have already mastered the MERN stack learn it. Update 1: Thank you guys for all the support. This is the first time I've received this many likes. I'd just like you to know that I have an interview scheduled for next week with one of the biggest web development companies in my country. I'll finally be able to make more than minimum wage despite the fact I don't have a degree and I'm not currently enrolled in university. Please, wish me luck.

Yes, this is true. Companies will hardly give you a raise even if you are performing well and they can afford it, and they will never hesitate to fire you if someone better comes along or they have to cut costs. Being always in search of a new job is the only real way to increase your salary and get any sort of job security. I've been doing that ever since I joined the industry, and a few days ago I managed to get an interview for one of the biggest web development companies in my country.

I'm early to class today. Thank you for sharing Nick. Companies treat us like numbers and we should do likewise [7:57]. I'm encouraged to keep applying because I wish to transition from the Network Engineering space (where I currently work) to the Software Engineering space (where I love to work full-time). My current stack is JavaScript, React (with some Java) and I principally use Udemy. But I would consider Codecademy, Pluralsight like you've mentioned. And KZread remains my day one buddy. I can sense that I'm very close to landing a developer role. Thank you for the encouragement.

Hello @@drytube6907, Sure! It's funny how time can fly, I didn't know it's been 11 months already. I currently work as a Cloud/Technical Support Engineer II with a Microsoft-vendor company. I provide support to clients in the EMEA region and it's been cool thus far having to learn different technologies. Although, I wasn't able to break into tech by landing a developer role, my current job role has made me develop keen interest in Cloud Computing and DevOps Engineering. I think the important thing here is to be consistent and open-minded. As much as I wanted Frontend/Backend/Full-stack engineering, it "didn't come" kinda, but I kept moving. Yea. I hope this helps.

Python and all other programming languages look like I'm reading an alien language. I may not ever be able to comprehend coding...
I’m currently building projects with react js but haven’t made a project yet with pure vanilla javascript, thoughts on this?
It's a good strategy, actually applying to lots of jobs it's better than not applying, so- yh!
thank you for this
On point!
One question I have that may differ to others is when do u know when u can move on to another language. I mean I did free code camp and did my certification for html/css and python but I’m not sure if I know enough to say “yea I know these languages”
I also observed a copycat paste culture common amongst recruiters
Thanks bro
if i’m only planing on becoming a front end developer do i need to learn node js?
For front end, like what Nick is talking about, I recommend the odin project. I'm using this to learn for my job. We have a front end component in TypeScript/React. I'm more comfortable with Java, and that is our backend services, but we have to focus on front end for now. I find these tasks harder than Java tasks.
Arigato Nick sensei!

@@garyadamos Hey Gary, My route took many years, good software engineers shouldn’t care about how quickly they get there, they should care about being properly prepared first to be an asset to the team. I came from video games, big data, databases, aviation and now weather forecasting as a C++ programmer and I can tell you that 15 years after starting I am still learning tons and ever improving contributions to teams. Videos like this should never be payed attention to - there is so much more to this field.

I’m so tired of the “you don’t need a comp sci degree to be a software engineer…” which is true to an extent, but I can point to fields where it’s even best to have a masters if you really want to flourish. Just take your time and be the best you can be. I graduated comp sci in 1999 for the record and continually adding to my skill set.

the worst part about the shotgun approach is that I got so many hackerank tests that I cant stand them anymore. they are a waste of time, basically just a coding brain teaser that when you finish you leave with nothing. if instead of those I had spent my time building a portfolio...
What do you think of coding bootcamps?
Dude, you're awesome
One of the things that has become off-putting in recent years is the demand for frameworks like vue, react, angular etc. In truth, they can be learned over a weekend with a free KZread course. If you know Javascript, don't let the lack of knowledge of a particular framework put you off!!!

If you have deep knowledge of vanilla js and are comfortable with html and css you could definitely find a job. However, with this knowledge you could pick up a framework like react or learn MERN stack and find a better job, easier.
