This year I decided to take control of my life and got a job as a developer. The job is hard but I'm going to do my best effort to keep going

[@Enteratedelchisme]

How did you? Was the interview hard?

[@CodeInEnglish2]

Good Luck Bro! I have the same goal 4 this year

[@kasdcomoa5567]

Fakeee

[@erethaaaron]

Awesome video. I am currently learning Coding, and I go to the library to focus on HTML/CSS. I am glad you encourage people to go to the library to learn and practice Coding and to build a portfolio.

[@jorgelazaro2510]

You helped me with my career goals. Back in 2021 I was lost and didn’t not know where to start and I lost everything. I watched your videos and it motivated me to try with coding, fast forward to now. After securing a developer role at bestbuy and now a developer in a small telecom company, you truly helped me move forward . Thank you Chris for giving me hope!

[@Reidnesta]

I love you motivator man. That's the only reason I've started to learn it and hope to land a job within a year. Thank you for the constant videos !!!

[@bboylorettoEight08]

I feel you on the grind of job hunting I did construction for over a decade, now I’m hurt for the rest of my life my back has huge issues not enough for surgery but I have a lot to take care of for that recovery process but your videos and advice that has been my second chance for opportunity in life

[@THEERAofresistance]

We all go into the same test brother we have to keep the faith❤️

[@DeltaXML_Ltd]

Good to see an insight on your journey. Great video!

[@ZimTech97]

Chris, you’re a true inspiration, love you bro!!

[@1689JeffChavez]

Love this. Thanks again. Blessings!

[@xaeon_thesandbox]

I'm currently studying code as well via ztom. And you are my inspiration. para maparetire ko parents ko. salamat bro

[@lidiaaguilar180]

I am a UX/UI designer and the job market has been super rough , I decided to stand out I would design to code. There are days i have all the motivation and there are days I just ask myself " what is the point ? "but I jump right back and keep pushing !

[@TheScubaDiverDan]

Is it worth pursuing education in UI/UX design for 2024? I am considering the ZTM course on that over the web developer courses. My Computer Science degree hasn't gotten me anywhere.

[@akshitgaming4808]

This is me bro for right now in same position you even had job I don’t have any job. Although I’m trying to learn coding thank you for understanding us!

[@IAMCHIDERA]

Inspiring! Are you a front end, back end or full stack developer?

[@Stray2Strong]

At last your coming with a site Daam can’t wait, hope it’s not too expensive

[@jona_le_mus]

welp, i gave up after a month but, this exposure lead me to get a job as a social media manager lol

[@mostofamojlish8255]

Data job market is rough . Can somebody tell me how long we have to go through this bad job market

[@MbonisiM]

I am here in 2024 , Website Dev being hard to learn

[@bboylorettoEight08]

Bro you inspired me to get in web dev and I’m on my school journey but maybe when I get the skills and certifications we can collaborate or if you have positions open we can work together

[@natecward8322]

When you landed a job what languages did you know. I just started react and it’s really cool I just wanted to know what’s the minimum

[@aungmin1929]

Hey Chris, how relevant is it to have an internship? Is it needed or extremely important to get your first web dev job?

[@andyl9920]

I wonder the same

[@DarkRaviForDeath]

Hey guys, in a crappy situation and would love some advice. In 18 days I will have been job hunting for two years in the data analytics/science and ML fields. I'm 27 now and miserable, stuck in my parents house. I'm so tired, and I feel like at some point I will have to give up and try something else. I think my main thought/question is at what point would you give up - or should I? All I really want is to move out of my parents house. I have the relevant background too, MSc in math, did a bootcamp. On my resume I have 2 years of experience from technically my own company, but I just list myself as a data scientist employee there (make no money of course - mostly failed endeavors). Apparently my local university has a masters in applied computer science where they basically just hand you an internship, so that's an option - but I also hate the thought of going back to school.

[@aricwilliamsdeveloper]

The path you have chosen is a long one... Keep going and be extra patient, the company in the right situation will hire you. Till mean time track your metrics when applying for jobs, do projects and get job references. If you change paths you start from day one

[@matthewcaldwell8100]

@@aricwilliamsdeveloperdude- it’s been two years. Counseling “patience” is a little psychotic

[@aricwilliamsdeveloper]

@@matthewcaldwell8100 yea I agree, but unfortunately the way this world is rigged they want most professionals to have 4 years of schooling before they get into the market. Especially in data science and ML.

[@aricwilliamsdeveloper]

@@matthewcaldwell8100 if this person just keeps pushing they can change their lives and children lives making way more money then imagined... Don't give up!

[@senseislade]

I'm 16, and i started learning web development 3 months ago, HTML and CSS are now easy to work with....this year i'll focus more on expanding my Javascript capabilities.....the reason why i started learning how to code/web development...was because i haven't been going to school for 3 years now. Due to financial problems, so i'm hoping that in a few months i could get a job as a web dev although i'm not sure if that is even possible since i'm only 16

[@purerandomness5733]

Keep grinding bro, your mad young and if you show the knowledge you have+experience in web dev, you’ll be able to get a job quick

[@rendellsantillan4396]

Bro, when you said “I failed at being a nurse” I felt that, It also made me laugh being Filipino lol

[@lifesfluff]

Do have anything for learning and mental health depression anxiety adhd ?

[@alextrotman9317]

@Chris Sean Can you do a video on GovTech? (Government tech jobs)

[@aricwilliamsdeveloper]

I'm in local government as a .net dev... My next move is c2c contracts as a contractor. Get my security plus to then bid on government contracts

[@fluntimes]

Everything is relative. I'm a web dev looking for a new job (redundancy) and feel I need way more knowlwdge than what I have. Testing, CI/CD, serverless... Having more strings to one's bow is essential, but in that sense I'll never be satisfied no matter where I'm at in my career.

[@Boomincamp]

Curious, what did you do with your 3 incomes from the 3 jobs?

[@mon0tony]

I get what you're saying, but on the other side of the coin, you went through everything you went through and look how successful you are now. sure, looking back I'm sure you see some mistakes you may have made, but it still brought you to this point today.

[@andyl9920]

What are your thoughts on joining a startup company?

[@sizla8837]

It breaks 😮😢 me up everytime how there's people living in their cars working 3 jobs yet America is the richest damn country in the world 😡💢, i don't wish it for anyone to experience poverty.

[@Gtrasf]

what is the best way to learn css

[@TazBo-wd2ig]

I wouldn’t bother with coding, it looks cool but essentially you are fighting to fix bugs for a huge corporate company that can replace you within one hour. They say family this and family that yet they treat you like an outcast when you need time off or don’t deliver.

[@awaterplease7885]

Hi Chris, this year you uploaded a video about your family that you supported their lifestyle of for years right? I can’t find it and I really want to show it to my gf because she’s doing the same and thinks she has to do it.

[@RealChrisSean]

You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jne3dnVrqtqUjbcsi=JSXMcgOx5aZjHnhb Best decision I made tbh. Talking with my family again too.

[@okereaforkelvin]

How many times?

[@dropdeadfredd1709]

The more KZbin videos I see about how hard it is to get a Tech job out there in right now in 2024 , the more I just want to give up. Is there even any point in trying ?

[@user-fx6eg1ic5v]

How can you get through an interview with just 3 months learning something ? I spent 1year learning game development and then i got hit by some of the crazy hard questions on my 1st interview 🤣

[@RealChrisSean]

I was definitely fortunate. I totally forgot to go over that part. :( But yeah it’s not normal. I’d say 1-2 years is the new norm now.

[@J-qp3mv]

He got a job through his church or something…….so yea you can’t do it three months. It’s just buzz words to get clicks

[@J-qp3mv]

Considering that’s the most essential part….way to clickbait

[@RealChrisSean]

Through my church? Wtf? Nope you’re wrong.

[@davidhamilton9871]

Yo how can you not make ends meet with 3 jobs

[@ChristopherCordero-up7xq]

I really don't want to quit because of my kids and myself. but is so hard I'm just thinking about what the best decision is if go to college and take an associate in computer programing & information science or go the self-taught/bootcamp road, the market is so hard that I feel is better to take my associate then trying to get an entry job and keep going to the computer science bachelor but I feel it would take me so long I'm 28 and feel like I'm all ready too late :(

[@unscripted483]

Getting an associates may not be the best route because of the expense. As for the market these things bounced up and down always.

[@jesusbautista]

I was 29 when I started, literally right after my first daughter was born, decided to go through a bootcamp while still working 2 jobs and being with my family and It worked out at the end, its possible

[@JP-ld6nx]

Hey man you can do it!

What projects do you recommend a front end? Developer to build to get the first job and what about a résumé?

[@MohammedGhazali-wu3dp]

Can you tutor

[@mosestebu8061]

I'll be back to this comment. The journey begins now.

[@sayonakoh6672]

@mosestebu8061

[@sayonakoh6672]

how's your journey so far?

[@3cats932]

Well. Thank you for you motivative video, but y'all need to face to reality. There are so many web developers with degrees and experiences in the world and USA. That means the job market is over saturated. Even experienced developers got laid off letely. Thus, the AI helps a lot of things and makes a job easier. That being said, it will be so hard to find a junior positions and more competitions. Searching jr. Web developer job openings in your area and how many job openings do you see? Well, It depends on where you live, of course. My point is quilification. They are expecting a degree with practical experiences for a jr. Position. I didn't want to discourage anyone, but it is what it is....

[@kevingeneer]

lol @ u throwing in at the end it will take 1-2 years

[@alextrotman9317]

I would love to see videos interviewing recruiters/ hiring managers

[@BartholomewGrev]

I need context before i can go past the intro bc the story is fishy. How tf you have 3 jobs, living in your car , and STILL can’t “make ends meet”. Wtf were you buying with the money bro? What vice? What addiction?
