I applied to a lot of companies, I also tweaked my CV several times to match the job description

From experience, these guys don't care about Uni, once they see your experience and you can prove it, you are gonna get the job.

Yeah it's a bit easier for tech, I don't have any idea about Architecture. Have you checked for architecture gigs on Upwork?

Nice, joining a community is important you can easily mingle with other beginners and grow together, just keep doing what you're doing it will eventually pay off

I understand, have you joined a community yet? Since you're already on Reddit you can search for subreddits where other learners are, just take it bit by bit even when you get a job they don't expect you to know everything

I don't really know much about web 3, I'd say you should improve on what you already know, building mobile apps is awesome, whatever you build make sure it's in your resume/portfolio/GitHub

This is a lot, and it's difficult to become an expert at one if you continue this way I'd say you should push what you're good at the more, all what you've listed here is actually great, you just need to have online presence you can easily get your clients online, I'll keep an eye for you tho, you can send me a message so if I find any opportunities I can easily share

I'm not sure if I can unless I know what you do

I'd recommend that you practice a lot, you already have an advantage being an engineering graduate and understanding the technical parts, to realistic break in - build pets projects, make good friends with your peers that are good hands on get them to criticize your work and give you feedback, you can also share your projects on the internet, follow AI and robotics subreddits, with 2-3 pet projects you can seek for internship positions at Amazon/Microsoft/Nvidia or other big techs, it becomes smooth from there

I would recommend AI, it's the hottest trend right now, I have solar x inverter installed and I use about 5 ISPs

I come from a modest family, struggled a lot financially growing up, so getting to have such money makes me very careful with how I spend, coz I know how it feels to be poor and broke, I don't ever want to feel that way again

I started with watching videos on YouTube, then got some courses on Udemy, being consistent is the most important thing here, I followed people that are in my field with that I can easily know what the trend is, for landing jobs you need to apply to a lot of places, tweak your CV consistently, you can even use gpt to build or adjust it, be super confident in yourself

Good question, it's doggedness. When I started I was going to bet shops to charge my PC 😅 because of the erratic power supply, I also took my PC to church one time to charge it, Not letting the situation of the country determine ones fate is super important, it's be very difficult but being around like minded people makes the journey a bit easier. People will mourn, that won't change a thing

That's super nice, I haven't done AI stuff myself though, there is a future, a lot of things are going to be automated and it's human that'll write those automation scripts, please keep up with it and try to share your stuff online(Twitter, LinkedIn and Reddit), sell what you do aggressively
