⭐ Picture this:
You spend months applying to hundreds of jobs. Click after click you lose a bit more confidence.
You're about to pull the plug and give up on your dream of becoming a developer.
Thousands of dollars spent on a coding bootcamp down the drain.
Hundred of hours watching content about making this career change.
You put so much on the line, you feel bad about yourself. You don't want to be a quitter, but you also have to be realistic.
Maybe it's not for you.
It' definitely the market
Heck, the LLM’s are probably gonna take your job anyway
“Bing”
A notification.
“You’ve been selected for an interview with us, when are you free for a quick chat?”
After all this hard work, it seems like you finally struck gold.
You call your mom, you tell your kids daddy made it.
And you can almost feel the touch of the paper as you sign the contract.
But wait, there's one more hurdle, better not blow it up.

The interview goes “smooth” and you feel pretty confident about it.
Just to get another email that says: thanks for your interest we decided to go with another candidate.
You most likely forgot to learn your basics. And i’m not blaming you, they are boring, but most interviews will be structured around them.
I compiled a list with all the interview questions I came across in my career, and online and put them together in a notion document.
There are a few bonuses in there related to the actual job search strategy that will help you massively.
✨ I’ll give it to you for free, just comment “notion” and I’ll dm you the list right away (no catch, no email required, just make sure we are connected here on Linkedin so I can actually DM you)
