The market is so hard right now, its not easy to get a job, move around, and recover from a layoff. Everyone in this video just showed that you can make it in this industry right now, you just have to be willing to work harder than the rest. The bar is raising, a lot of great people are already putting in hard work to make it.</p> <p>Community is Key, Theo mentioned that a lot of the companies he works with don’t even post openings, they go to their community first and are often filling spots through lower risk community hires.</p> <div class="admonition note"> <p class="admonition-title">Note</p> <p>This post is a <a href="/thoughts/" class="wikilink" data-title="Thoughts" data-description="These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a rare few don&#39;t have a link.

I also came to tech through a set of circumstances that made it difficult for me to excel at my current job. Looking back it is something that I was always interested in and I was just unsure how to get in, I am so glad that I figured it out, it has been such a great benefit to my family.</p> <p>I really enjoyed listening to trshpuppy’s journey in through building projects, and choosing tech not based on what she wanted to learn, but what fit the project the best.</p> <div class="admonition note"> <p class="admonition-title">Note</p> <p>This post is a <a href="/thoughts/" class="wikilink" data-title="Thoughts" data-description="These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a rare few don&#39;t have a link.
