Recently got out of the military now I work a full time job, have a wife and a 15 month old son, go to college full time online and try to learn Java and android development in my other time. I want to work as a developer so badly but I'm just not good enough yet. It's also super hard to know what level of knowledge you need to obtain a job because all entry level positions want you to have years of experience in 10 fucking languages and shit like what the fuck? No breaks, hungry to succeed.

    Keep going at it bud. Got one small question for ya, why are you not going to school full time? Your gi bill benefits in regards to you bha get cut when you do it online (experienced it myself). As far as development goes, what is your niche? Mobile dev only or do you want to branch into web as well?

    IMO, it's less about 10 years experience in everything and more like working knowledge of multiple tools as well as 1-3 languages. Web devs benefit from knowing how to handle the Web server, all devs benefit from knowing git and SQL, etc. If you can demonstrate that knowledge in multiple things you'll be fine.

    Best of luck!

    I know your pain dude.
    I got released from a 3 year mandatory service 10 months ago.
    Self learning like a maniac at nights, work as sysadmin by day.

    All the luck to you mate! Just keep on trying and trying and trying until you succeed. And especially keep going when you're like 'fuck this shit I'm out'! đź‘Š

    @AleCx04 I go online full time. I can't manage going on campus because of work. I work 12 hour shifts 3 - 4 days a week and rotate days and nights every 3 months. Also I'm not entirely sure where I will branch off to but for the moment learning mobile.

    I always plug triplebyte and codefights here. The companies they match you with are based on coding challenges not resumes.

    @jeeper I haven't used triplebyte but have used firefights briefly. Do they legitimately get you job offers?

    @virus200 haven’t used personally but they seem legit. There’s a good medium post about programming interviews that names a few other places.
