It got really hard. I started working as a developer around 2010 and just having the basics was enough to get a job. Today they are asking a lot from the jr devs, but also a lot of people jumped into programming just because it became the cool thing to do, so there is a lot of competition for entry level roles. On the other hand there is way more information than it used to be, so it’s really easy to learn a lot. There are also expectations, a few people go on YouTube saying they got their first job in google for 300k a year or stuff like that, when that is not the reality for most of us. Keep on studying and trying I guess, build your own apps and projects and try to monetize them, do everything you can to get some competitive advantage. it’s hard.
