AHH no way I had this idea like 3 months ago. Goes to show - ideas suck, execution is important.

Yeah, it hit me pretty hard. The next interview I had, I was able to say "I don't know", and I got the job handily.

This is the only thing I've seen that remotely comes close - but truthfully, the reason it's so hard is because it just comes with experience.

This is what drives me crazy. I'm a bootcamp grad, and I've been interviewing for 6 months. I've spent EVERY single day of those six months, (besides applying and networking and interviewing), working on coding, design, projects, and leveling up so I can collaborate with a team. This guy spends all of his time working on stuff that is considered "level 2", and he will make double what I end up getting. Frustrating.

Carol Dweck's Mindset. Really gives insight into how our limiting self-beliefs can stunt our growth and potential, and how to fix them.
