Advice for jr. devs:

Interviewing as an engineer is hard, and for many folks takes practice. Learn from each interview you do, and improve on what you learned in each one. Whiteboarding and talking through tech solutions is a skill that takes practice. Be kind to yourself! 💙❤️
Rejection is ROUGH (trust me- I used to audition for musical theatre 🪦), but learning from your mistakes and improving will make you a stronger interview candidate. What you're doing is hard, but you got this! 💪
Did another thread on this recently if it's helpful to anyone: https://twitter.com/ChloeCondon/status/1358896405750841346?s=19
It doesn't matter if you're a university student with a CS degree, self taught, bootcamp grad trying to get your first role. These interviews are hard for seasoned devs as well (ask any senior dev 💔😭)- hang in there!
The best advice I got while interviewing was from my @Hackbright mentor @pslawless who told me not to get too attached/caught up in the romance of new job/company/potential job. Treat each interview like practice for the next one. Rejection is hard, but part of the process! 🥲💔
