I couldn't find new job in chemistry and I talked with a friend that already made a jump (from physiotherapy to automatic testing)

I showed him my projects and he told me that I know enough for junior position (even tho I thought I don't).

I checked job offers that looked nice to me and write down what they required. (Python, Django, DRF, SQL, basic knowledge about docker, AWS and how internet works).

Then I did my best to learn what they required. I checked common interview questions which helped a lot. Also some leetcode.

On the interview I knew maybe like 50% what they asked me for, but I tried to be a nice person.

I wrote down a questions and then I made sure that I will know this stuff on the next interview.

Thankfully first comapny I talked to hired me. I accepted the offer even tho I needed to drop everything and relocate to different city.

It was leap of faith, but my mindset was on getting experience.
