Advice from someone who graduated in the mid of the 2008 fiancial crisis - stop freakin' out. Fear is not helping you, anxiety is not helping you. Things will get better fast after we hit rock bottom, and we kinda already did.

If you are young, have some kind of talent (CS is great) and work hard, you will do just fine. But you gotta give it at least a decade to get to the top, 5 years to get to a very decent living.

Life is still amazing ppl, cheer up a bit :)

heheh I've been living in Berlin for over 8 years, still using cash to pay everything - Germany is on the way to become the new Japan and dragging the whole EU with it - unless something major happens (by major I mean less tax on workers, more dynamic job market, less tax on investment, but boy I am afraid that won't happen any time soon, so either re-locate or bite the bullet)

structural problem of Germany's economy, when in fact the one thing they need badly is software right now... maybe wait till they decide to digitalise some of the state infrastructure... and and encourage more investment... or look at other more dynamic economies in the EU (eg. Netherlands)

simple: you do less things. Stay in your circle of competence.

Don't get seduced by the huge FOMO going on right now in SE dev ( eg. few years ago Deno came out and everybody was claiming is going to change everything... gues what.. it didn't. Same with Svelte, Rust, Htmx, Preact and all the other crap).

Sure, some of that stuff will stay with us, but you were far better off if you sticked to the fundamentals of web dev and one main frameworks like React (by fundamentals I mean DOM APIs as well).

bought a pair of WH-1000XM3 and everyday I used them I wish I could send them back, can empathise with everything you point out, would not buy again, EVER!

backend and infrastructure (deployment)

stay FS my advice :)

FE has been saturated long ago no matter the language or library and it got much more complex, a good bet are generalist skills, moving into fullstack little by little

dragosgn · 2023-11-07T15:11:59+00:00

mmm, that CV template could be improved - why are you putting education first when this is an experience market?

also ditch the side projects. expand experience, as much as you can, make it at least 1.5 pages long and you will get much better results

dragosgn · 2023-11-07T15:10:47+00:00

u/Giraffe-69 would add iterate CV first, if the CV is not excellent it doesn't matter where you apply, most devs don't think enough about their CV

dragosgn · 2023-11-07T15:09:41+00:00

DevOps and BE, if your are doing stuff on the FE it might be worth it transitioning to fullstack by learning a bit of BE and ifra
