How I'd learn Web Development (If I Could Start Over)
I landed a full-stack software engineering job with no degree, no bootcamp, and while living in a small panhandle town called Amarillo, where there is little no to opportunities for developers. Despite the odds, I made it happen. In fact, I went on to win first place in a coding championship before securing my job.

    Great video bro, I got one question about nr5. How did you manage to find a mentor? If you could expand on this theme a little bit more I think would be nice, like how you considered someone as your mentor, how did you approach them, etc.

    • @daniel-guillen-1
      @daniel-guillen-1 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Finding a mentor can be super hard! I started by asking all of my friends if they knew of anyone that worked in development, from there I joined communities online. In the beginning any advice is useful, no matter the dev field they were in. I usually approached them by being humble and asking if they could possibly give you some guidance on what you can do to improve You can connect me with me here!: www.skool.com/@daniel-guillen Im always online and have a mentorship community but thats optional if you want more support
