So basically I’m a self taught webdev and a CS student and I want to get an entry level job in the industry. I made a website for myself to showcase some of the work I’ve done but the problem is that most of the web apps/sites I’ve built weren’t meant to be shown off, they were tools I made to help me do things but I still learned quite a lot from those experiences.
Backend development is my element, but I’ve gotten really comfortable with front end work lately, particularly when I am using Tailwind and Sveltejs… I find that I don’t even need to use component libraries for most things because I’m good enough to design from scratch—even though that may not the most efficient solution. I still struggle here and there but nothing a quick session of Googling can’t fix.
Backend wise I’ve worked with Flask, Django, SvelteKit, and Laravel.
I will admit that my knowledge is very spread out, there isn’t any one web technology that I understand on an intuitive level but I definitely have a solid grasp of the basics.
To be honest any kind of job I can land in the tech industry will be life changing, I’ve been stuck working in retail for way longer than I should’ve been and if I can get a job in tech that pays something $20/hr as a starting point, I’ll be content with that knowing I’m advancing my career I just don’t really know where to begin.
If you were in my shoes and lived in the western United States, what would you do?
