How to get a FAANG Dev Job in your 40s with Coding Interview University creator John Washam [

[@juanmacias5922]

I'd suggest Anki to everyone, best way to learn something once, and remember/understand it deeper through repetition.

[@brendonrichards9118]

I used to think I was too old and not smart enough to become a developer. At 31, I'm a dev with just over 2 years of experience now.

[@maisakura9672]

How did you learn?

[@Blueray93Romania]

Is it too late to become one with the advent of AI? Thnaks and congrats.

[@zangdaarrmortpartout]

I did the same, just a bit younger, no diploma just trained at the job.

[@senthamarai_kannan.]

Same here

[@eersoy93]

At 30, only 1 year experience :)

[@kullanckullanc6077]

ven 25-year-olds can't find jobs these days. Despite knowing multiple programming languages and practicing for interview questions, people still can't get hired; they are being rejected outright. I know people who have been applying for jobs for a year, even a year and a half. People are even being laid off. Understand this, finding a job has become very difficult, extremely difficult. For those over forty, it's even harder. The job market has changed a lot, friends. Really, unless you have connections, getting a job is incredibly, incredibly difficult.

best you are ever going to be vs best you are ever going to do are different things. your level of effort is a huge means of determination. it isn't always about WHAT you can do, but what you are willing to do.

[@allisonb9072]

Everyone in this world who has experienced success has always had people or things fighting against them. Use that as fuel to keep moving forward. It doesn’t matter how old you are if you have a strong desire to do something go for it. Believing in yourself and keep moving forward to Victory When you are older, you see the world differently have a better appreciation, and you strive for a deeper learning experience. You also have other experiences to offer that you can bring to the table to teach others.

[@senshai1267]

This is inspiring, currently working in QA , it's been 6 years and I've had enough ..want to jump to dev and always felt as if I don't have the smarts and won't be able to do any good ..

[@ChristinaZarahMacMullen-ge9ev]

Not true. You can do it.

[@r.t.matila7647]

Rock Song Bass Line: LIvin On a Prayer - Bon Jovi. Super helpful interview - Thank you!

[@quincylarsonmusic]

Nice. That's right - an amazing classic from the 80s.

[@rishiraj2548]

Respect and Gratitude!

[@amitavasengupta5580]

I'm 93 years old, can I become a MAANG developer? I have some knowledge of web dev with react, nodejs, nextjs and django

[@AK-Star007]

Just wait few years, come back at 100

[@rajeshsfdc6533]

ur already GRAND MAA DEVELOPER ;-)

[@ChristinaZarahMacMullen-ge9ev]

This is hopeful. There is so much bias against people that break into tech later in life.

[@Eman_Puedama]

What about 50's and just want to escape unskilled minimal wage manual drudgery?

[@vrk1131]

Try brother. Try. Maybe you will one day you will give an interview like this.

[@jamesfrederick2044]

What about mid-50's ??

[@avneet12284]

Perfectly good age. Go for it

[@ChristinaZarahMacMullen-ge9ev]

I’m 49, about to get my React frontend portfolio up and getting ready to really dive in. If you feel it’s right for you, then my suggestion is to keep leaning into it.

[@allisonb9072]

The only person that can limit you is yourself. 30 40 50, 60 and beyond , if you want to do it Go For It and believe in yourself !!

[@angelicagabrieli7169]

Perfect timing ❤ You will succeed! God bless you ❤❤❤

[@jamesfrederick2044]

Thank you all.

[@Wineblood]

3 hours? I don't even want a FAANG dev job.

[@Md_areef_uddin]

Interesting and I love this channel

[@yuzuru08]

11th video, asking for some projects using IDX

[@bobblert]

So... why do I feel like I don't know enough to even seek a position in FAANG even though i reached maturity in C++ (18 years of experience) and 14 years of leading projects from start to finish (coordinating 8 to 10 Teams in the past few years) while still touching the code? Maybe because I no longer remember all the school level algorithmic topics? I don't know...

[@imhassane]

18 years of C++ is freaking incredible and respectable.

[@bobblert]

@@imhassane it passes quicker than you think... I still am a little boy inside 😁

[@StinerDevHub]

❤❤

[@Target0021]

Bro please can I really have personal communication with you please..

[@Target0021]

I really want to learn this coding.

[@quincylarsonmusic]

@@Target0021 I recommend reading my book. It's freely available, and will help you build a strong foundation in programming and computer science, and prepare for your career. It's called How to Learn to Code and Get a Developer Job. You should be able to search for it online.

English is not really a difficult language to learn. 😅
