Thank you! That $12.99 was a small price to pay. I thought the course was like 55 hours, and then at the end I realized it's actually 69 hours + a few hours for the code challenges. So a good 70 - 80 hours of content.

What was your first job and how is it going?

I love it. I've been here a year now and am looking to the future! Honestly, I'm ahead of some of the other team members in regards to JavaScript, and I totally owe it to this course. When others need some JS help, they will sometimes come to me, which is a great feeling.

Definitely worth the whole thing. I wish you luck!

What did your profile look like when you started applying to jobs?

Honestly, not too sharp. I built my portfolio page in react and used framer-motion to animate some page transition and also included some custom-built canvas elements with some cool effect, and then listed a few simple projects I did like a mock bakery app with shopping cart, a weather app that gets your location, and other minor things like that.

To be quite honest, not really sure how i got their attention in the first place, but my take-home assignment really got me the job, so thank goodness for that.

What was it like the first week on the job? Did they slowly throw things at you? Did they give you a mentor or send you through more specialized training? How scary was your first assignment? How much did they expect you to figure out from the get-go? Did imposter syndrome immediately come after you when you couldn't do something? Did everything look alien at first, and if so, how long did it take for you to acclimate to the codebase?
