Thanks for posting this. A few thoughts come to mind.

1. What have you tried so far to find such a job?

2. Do you have a degree? I don’t personally believe they should be required but many employers hold a different view.

3. Are you open to a startup or do you prefer something more corporate?

Hey, thanks for the reply. To answer your questions…

1. I haven’t applied to any just yet, I wanted to get my website up and running and clean up my GitHub and build a couple of projects specifically meant for a recruiter to look at — I figure that’ll give me the best chance, I also made a LeetCode account a couple of days and I’ve been working on problems since I’ve heard that tends to help. 2. I don’t have a degree but I am working towards a CS degree, though I am far away from graduation. 3. Knowing myself I would probably thrive in a start up environment but I definitely wouldn’t mind working at an established corp either. As long as it pays the bills and helps me move my career forward then I’m ok with it.
