It all started with an anchor tag Stefan McCready
School, College and Perceptions Popular Opinion + Push towards Academia
= A lot of unpleasant noise
Finding Work
Experience over potential Interviewer: Have you got industry experience? Me:
No but here is a portfolio of work Interviewer: Goodbye.
Taking a different approach “Get that experience by any means
possible”
Getting a foot in door
Adapting to new things
”Adapting to the tech stack without it being overwhelming”
Front End Developer - 2017
“Its like learning piano but every so often the notes
move around” Stefan - 2017
Confidence
When its high… You feel better, you work better, you
are just more comfortable with yourself
When it is low… You don’t feel like you…
Improving confidence Self love is the patch to good self
esteem
Imposters Syndrome Its Shit. End Of.
Having to overcome it… Its important to overcome it, otherwise
you stall your progression
Saying No
How I ended up after saying yes to literally everything
Why you have to say no By saying no you
keep your priorities first and you can work at a sustainable level
After all is said and done…. I love work, I’ve
met great people, I’ve learned a lot and I’ve joined a community that is by far the best community in the world
Thank you Any Questions
