just started to learn web development last week. let's see if I can manage to get a job by the end of the year.

Terrific video. Thanks for your advice. I especially like how straightforward you are. Very helpful.

I'm really glad that sending out emails to web development agency still applies. I watched your video about freelancing from 3 years ago, and I think I'm ready to start sending out feelers. I plan on doing a lot of this today so I can make enough side-income until I become better ready for full-time work. Thanks again for all of your advice!

Thank you so much, such a short and yet impactful content

Every advice is practical. Thanks @ Travis

Quite an insightful video, great work.

Hi Travis, Great video again. All good advice. Thanks,

Hi Travis. Can't say Thank you enough for all these amazing videos!! I came to know about ZTM after watching your video and what a fantastic full package!! I am a self paced learner and liking ZTM a lot. Please make a video about the ZTM soon. Looking forward. Thank you so much .

Good advices. I'm doing my portifolio rightnow.

What you've said about the economy, the layoffs that have taken place, and it possibly being a great time to study and become proficient- in waiting till the upturn inevitably returns, make a heck of a lot of sense. I'm right in that place right now. I have ample time to pick a language and hopefully become very proficient in it (thinking Python for either data analysis or web development). If you had to begin again, knowing what you know now, what language would you chose and is there anything you'd do differently? - Joe

Thanks a lot. Realy good tips . God bless you .

If anything, you're better entering an industry during tough times. It'll make you work harder, develop persistence and consistency and become a well-rounded SWE who wants to create value for their company. What we've seen from the layoffs, most who were let-go were entitled, parasitic nail-filers or those who didn't provide any net benefit/value to the business like data scientists with a bad track record of ROI.

It’s tough out there. I have over 10 years experience and I’m a React dev. Been looking for months and months now

It's been four months since you talked about ZTM travis we're longing for it. Thanks

Thank u so much Sir.

Great Tips!

As a retired legacy programmer (mainframes), I am currently getting inundated with emails (daily) of job opennings. So, there is still a ton of old code out that needs to be brought into the 21st century. I predict any developer that has the ability to bridge the gap, bring the old into the new will be in high demand and many years to come. Just a suggestion. good luck

Good video. Thanks. toronto canada

ZTM courses are super good this guy is from Toronto super talented and very famous!

Don't forget to add LIVE coding sessions to your portfolio

thank u so much

Thanks!

Don't not go to a Bootcamp,its just a recruiting center. You are paying 10k or more.Everything is free online.

Thank you.

How long did it take for you to become a developer from scratch? Given the fact that you made it while doing something else and does not have a great amount of time for coding?

There are only handful of entry level programming jobs that are open to hire someone with no experience. And linked in shows they usually get 300+ applicants within the first 24 hours the position is posted. Good luck 👍

Love you mentor

Thanks. I was not aware of ZeroToMastery. Are they just a front end to udemy content?

The only recruiter that is a red flag for me are the third party recruiters. They don't work directly for the company, they just got paid to recruit for the main ones, taking a big chunk of your salary.

What can you say about "Odin Project"?

Can you recommend a Java course?. All the Aws jobs in my area work with Java.

Anyone know of websites where I can find overflow work ? Just want to build up my resume ! Thank you

What's a good Javascript and react app? On udemy any recommendations

Somehow people are uncertain so they think taking the easier route by participating in a bootcamp Than learning on your own but you feel you don’t have someone explaining it The reality is different both are not easy but people want to be comfortable I did try a free university bootcamp but I really did not like it So now I’m on the selftaught route again

How could we find open project for devops and then get a job?

Just about every job in security or IT has beecome a nightmare to get . almost like they do not want anyone to fill the roles and they would rather pay more than pay less?!?!?!?????

Travis is the best

I have just beginning to learn coding/programming. I have heard the word "Portfolio" a lot. Please can you elaborate what is the meaning of this word in context of programming? I am sorry I do not know basics of the profession.

Thanks a lot ... Can you just the lower music

I think people who are just starting out need to realize that they are not competing against people coming out of the top companies in the world anyway, so it really doesn't affect them in any way. They will be applying for entry-level positions.

Thanks & useful. I expect some inputs on how to do free lancing jobs ( websites & tips).

Jr devs will have an edge over the experienced devs who were laid off because companies can justify paying them less.

Anyway to get in touch with you?

Could you give some examples of what kind of jobs you got from the web agency?

Do you think that the recruiter who ghosts you is ok?

Please make a new video for 2024. Thank you in advance

I stopped right away this video after a few minutes. First, you have no idea of the crisis that is coming. Experts say it's a depression that will be probably followed by hyperinflation, (pretty much like in the 30's) and that will stay here for at least 10 years. Second, the main thing to pass an interview (including FAANG) is neither of what you are saying. You need to be able to solve a difficult and a medium question of Hackerrank (or any other platform recommended by any FAANG company) in 45 minutes. That's not for everyone and very few will be able to do that. It's not a matter of exercising. Well, it is if you are able to solve every difficult problem in every platform in time, but that will take months and months of full time training. The other companies just imitate FAANG methodology. It is extremely hard. Often, self-taught people on KZfaq are not actually able to distinguish the difficulties of tech interviews, because they haven't passed any, but they are just content creators, calling themselves "devrel" people, a title that doesn't actually mean much. I see many people like that on Twitter with hundred of thousands of followers but with limited technical knowledge. I'm not saying you have little technical knowledge. What I'm saying is that you are largely underestimating the current economic situation and the difficulties of tech interviews. Neither is a piece of cake. The first will certainly severely impact the number of jobs in the near future, and the second will restrict jobs to an extremely tiny amount of people, roughly 800-1000 candidates to 1 position in FAANG, a little lower in other companies, and gradually lowering as the level of the company decreases, but it's never zero. One will have at least 20 candidates better or as good as you. Another observation, the tech interviews are not actually measuring the skills required for the job you are applying to, it's dealing with specific problems that you will never encounter in real life. In other words, it's measuring something else, probably your IQ, besides your technical skills.

Thank god for 2x playback speed

Hopefully less people sign up for bootcamps though

There is no reason for teaching people on how they can land a job as a developer instead you should teach them on how they can start there own companies
