How do you break the cycle of needing experience to find a developer job?
I graduated in 2016 with a degree in computer science. Honestly, I was a crap student at the time dealing with personal issues, plus working my way through school.
Fast forward to now, after working in sales for 1 1/2 years and realizing I do want to do development after all. Problem is, I have no relevant work experience. I've been unemployed for a few months now and have put out ~150 applications with not one interview or call.
I'm really frustrated. I'm curious if anyone has any advice on breaking this endless cycle. It makes me feel like I will never find a job doing development.
