Congrats to @Basil Gubara who landed a new developer role within a month of joining our program and even negotiated a +20% salary increase on top of what was set as the maximum offer. Watch this to break your limiting beliefs about the whole “market is oversaturated” nonsense and get inspired by what’s possible when you’re truly committed. Because developers who are committed to mastery are always in demand, no matter how bad the market is or how far AI advances.

I went through and rewrote a couple of your resumes today, so you can see the thinking process and how to structure them in the strongest way. If you couldn’t join live, you can still watch the recording, get ideas from there and apply them to your own resume. And join us next time to get your resume reviewed.

Hey team! Just finished implementing the desktop layout for the records page. Would love your feedback on the responsive design 👀 https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/money-manager-app/pull/16

So, I just landed my first customer last week. It’s a very simple project, but at least I’m getting paid for it — finally! I found my client on AirTasker, a platform that helps people get assistance with all kinds of tasks in Australia. I had to negotiate the price, as the initial offer was quite low. Even though I was competing with other developers, I was confident that my skills were more than enough to complete the work quickly and efficiently. The customer initially wanted to use some “mystic” frameworks for a simple project that could be done with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I still managed to convince her to let me build it in React — because, why not? 😄 So, thanks to Hayk, I can finally say that I’m earning money through development — and that makes me happy. Just 8 months ago, I was struggling to build a simple JavaScript carousel, and now I’ve landed my first customer. Don’t lose hope, keep grinding, and keep coding! Cheers !
