Discussion Ask HN: How can a junior dev stand out in this market? Let's assume that:- You're a junior dev with 1.5 years of exp and you got laid off.- Cold applying used to yield interviews but not anymore without having changed the contents of the resume.- You're still unemployed after 6-9 months.- Your work experience is centered around React, Next.js, JavaScript/TypeScript.- You have a CS degree.- You're not afraid to pivot and learn new skills. (New programming languages, tech stack, etc...)- You don't have to worry about paying bills. (You didn't move out of your parents' home yet)What would you invest your time in? 15 points JSLegendDev 2 years ago 25 comments
