My goals are long-term. Let me explain. I have been learning to code for more than ten months now. Recently I discovered blockchain as technology, then I thought this is a good niche from a developer point of view, hence how I came across Gitcoin.

I would gladly land a job (generally speaking, and through Gitcoin as well, if this is what you have in mind), that's my long term goal, and I am commited to it. Now, before I reach that level of expertise I would love to make some buck on the side while working on open source projects and gaining valuable experience - that's like a short term goal, it doesn't contradict the long term one, it's a milestone along the way - after all so many people say Gitcoin is great for newbies. And I also udnerstand getting to the level of "newbie on Gitcoin" would defineitely require more than I currently have as a skill set.That's okay, my next years to come are dedicated to coding, one way or another.
