I studied at a construction technical school, I certainly did not study badly and thought that I would become a builder. But it is one thing to study and quite another to work! I wrote my diploma, 2-story brick building with 15 A2 drawings and a pile of documentation. He worked as an electrician for 19K rubles.
I had to travel frequently on business trips. I didn't like my job. It was not difficult, but I could sit in this place for 10 years without a qualitative improvement in salary. But you need to live somehow, buy an apartment, and you yourself understand everything. I had a dream to enter some good university in economics and become a good respected person in professional circles. Money is not everything, I want work to be a pleasure. And my life was made up of dust, sweat and lack of prospects. However, a builder is a difficult and important profession, but I don’t think I’m such a punchy person who could reach the top in this area. I finished my studies, defended my diploma with excellent marks and prepared to enter the university. But it just so happened that my knowledge of mathematics was so poor that I failed the exam with a bang. Another university? Not the best in my city? Continue learning to build? By the way, I passed the exams at the construction university. But he refused. Either the best university or nothing. I didn't go anywhere. Imagine how it was for me, I was very upset and left my hometown for Moscow. Of course, I quit my job. I spent money, worked as a waiter, a courier in a famous bank and returned to my hometown. So, what I had for May 2016: no work. There is a 100K cash cushion. I don't study. I also don’t want to live with my parents, because of the depression I quarreled with relatives. I was looking for a job, God forbid, for 20K and could not find it, I was looking for a job in construction for 3 months and my skills were not enough. I became more and more depressed.

November 2016.
Whiskey, friends and my friend's new girl. This is where it started! I learned from her that she works as a programmer. The money is good, the work is intelligent, though I didn’t know anything about it. The thought came to my drunken head, what can I try to study? Yes, and a few months earlier I drank in a bar, and there I met a boy who received QA 70K and I, with my salary in 19K, drooped a lot against his background. It's only a year younger. Tadadadamm! What I did? That's right, boo! I drank in another friend’s apartment, and there again girls who studied at a good technical university went into action, and I probably even then wanted to give the impression of a not completely repulsed deviant, I shook out that I wanted to teach programming. JR was recommended to me. Well, what. I had nothing to lose, I came home and sat down.
I started teaching normally only in January 2017.
Began. So, you think I'm very punchy, smart or something? I never thought so. The only thing I know about myself is that I am a hard worker. That's all it takes to be anyone. The first levels pulled me in a lot, but there were a lot of problems. Each new level, I thought that I would never become a programmer. It's all so complicated and I'm dumb and don't understand how to do it! But I sat all day and sooner or later it worked out. Seriously, I remember when I read about return, my head almost exploded. And arrays, made an array and was proud of it. No, if you think you're stupid, you're not. Just work. There is no money. And I got a job again as a courier in a bank. Schedule 2\2. Then the problems began, I worked for 2 days, 1 day I remembered that I passed 2 days ago, 1 day I moved forward. My progress has slowed not by half, but three times! I worked for 2 weeks and quit to the monks and it was my right decision. I had no money, I borrowed. I lived on 8K a month infringing on myself in everything. I ate empty buckwheat, tea from Auchan and so on, but I studied every fucking day. Every. At level 10, I thought I already knew a lot of things! At 15, it's time to look for a job. At 18 I thought I wouldn't get a job. At 20, I almost wanted to quit this venture. Here are the problems. The more you study, the more you realize your limitations. But you don't need to know everything, don't worry. If you're at level 10, keep going! If by 15, you are close to mastery, if by 20, please don't quit! I already know a lot!

Summary
At level 20, my debts have become large, there is no money and it has been 6 months since January. It's time to post your resume. I took my resume seriously, rewrote it every week and still do. The first interview was in a startup, I failed miserably and probably thank God) Then a large company invited me, I failed it too, but they gave me the task to write a client-server. I didn’t sleep for 2 weeks, I wrote them a multi-user chat and then they gave me a task, write a feature and I wrote it for another week. They didn't take me again. Badly written. I prayed to the gods, but the gods only laughed. I passed 15 interviews. I was invited to 1 company, but I turned it down, sharazka. And you know what? With each new interview, I became much stronger. Then I was not taken to several companies, because I was from a construction college. Then I got on training courses from one company for students. I didn’t sleep for another 2 weeks, wrote web-chat and didn’t get it! Nobody was interested in my project. Then I almost went into depression. Although the whole year this was my permanent state.
September 2017
I already felt strong. I didn't train at JR. As it was at the 20th level and remained. But I wrote every day, not stopping even for a week. And then there's bingo. I am invited to 2 companies at once. I chose smaller, but more comfortable. So. I am a builder from a technical school, in 9 months from 0 I learned java to a level sufficient for work. Went to university for computer science. I have been working for almost 3 months and I am happy with my work. I love my company, my bosses, we get together with colleagues and get a good salary. Thanks to the people who supported me, thanks to JR for their great resource. Finally, my technology stack with which I was hired:
But in fact, according to the JR program, all this is there, it's just that I somehow started to learn it myself. Get to level 40 and I'm sure everything will work out. Just learn SQL and linux is big + Go to my github , look, repeat! Do not give up!
