My first autobiographical experience, please don’t judge me too harshly) It may seem that the text is more about the development of my character. Perhaps this will help you understand better) About yourself: 25 years old, incomplete higher education, 2 years of work as an engineer, last year worked as a sales manager for large IT solutions. I’ll start my story with the final grades of school, when it’s time to think about your future and university, and the wind is blowing in your head. I was almost an excellent student: everything worked out without extra effort. I was interested in computers, but my parents were paranoid about the oversaturation of the market with programmers, so without any goals or efforts I entered the Faculty of Radio Engineering. After 2.5 years, I successfully leave him and get a job anywhere. This is the first adult lesson that I didn’t understand right away - don’t let anything or anyone get in the way of your goals and interests. Having got a job as an engineer and dropped out of school, I get the chance to move to another city and become the senior and only employee of the branch, with an indecently large salary for my age. A year later, the branch closes, I fall with a crash and again work for pennies. This sharp upward leap allowed me to raise the bar of my demands and constantly compare my subsequent life with this fragment of life - a dream appears , to live as before. Periodically being depressed and leading an unbridled lifestyle, I meet my future wife. Largely thanks to her, I radically changed my life: I quit smoking, became an exemplary family man, went for interviews every 2-3 months, which made my employer pretty nervous and forced me to raise either my salary or my position) I found the very person for whom I was in the an awl appears , and you will never again sit on the couch in the evenings or drink with friends in the garage. Having an average salary, interesting work and frequent business trips to different cities, I am gradually starting to take root of stability. I watch movies more and more often in the evenings, I forget about my mega-demands for life, I don’t even go to the gym. I'm relaxing. But my wife is not) Thinking about ways to make my life better, I remember my long-standing desire to become a programmer. After all, once upon a time, after spending several hours learning a random language, I sent my resume to all employers, proving how diligent and diligent I can be) I begin to read articles and success stories of programmers, gradually I am charged with the idea of \u200b\u200blogin, and now, after a couple of weeks I am already I am firmly confident that I can. It was a big problem for me to understand what I wanted (or could) become in IT. I didn't understand languages and didn't understand the difference between back-end and front-end. I just read everything, mostly reviews from new programmers. This is how I heard about JavaRush, and saved it to bookmarks. On one of my business trips, sitting at the station and waiting for the train, I took my laptop out of my bag and accidentally went to this resource again and decided to try it. From the ground up, I was fascinated by this cartoonishness and friendly atmosphere, and coupled with the Futurama romance, it hooked me for a long time. When I returned home, I paid for my subscription and started studying. I'm starting to learn (and in the story I finally approached the topic of IT). A little over six months ago, my training began, which began every morning, a few hours before work, and continued throughout the free evening time. On weekends I managed to spend 4-8 hours. I also devoted 30-60 minutes a day to English. A month later, I started trying my hand at interviews (yes, I'm a very confident guy). Naturally, I was inundated with questions, of which I only understood prepositions and conjunctions. I didn’t despair too much, I continued to study further, and also signed up for courses on HTML layout (at that time I did not yet realize how flawed they were). Clicking tasks and putting together 10-year-old websites in HTML courses, I am gradually starting to lose confidence that I am a true backender. Especially when there is always a vacancy for a front-end developer in the next house. I couldn’t resist the temptation: I asked them for a test task, in which I needed to design a responsive website and make a slider in native JS. I did the task for 2 months. With constant edits and reviews on their part. Later they told me that they usually refuse at the first mistake, but for some reason they liked me) And now, New Year. I, having gathered all the courage and confidence in the future into a fist, am submitting my resignation from my old job and going for an internship at this glorious company to learn the reactive framework (React and all its friends). Having completed the internship in a month instead of the two promised and having completed 3 projects, I get hired, put on soft slippers and get the use of a hefty aimag. And basically, that's the end. I’m still working (it’s already been the third month), I’m getting a good salary, I’ve finished one project and started on a second one. But I didn’t give up on self-education. Having studied on other JS resources, I fondly remember JavaRush . There is no such lamp-like warmth anywhere, no cartoonishness mixed with an overwhelming number of tasks, no such active and strong community. While learning JS, I wish it was Java. Because I parted ways with JavaRush . But I promise to return, and I hope it will be soon. It’s not for nothing that I bought 2 books on Java that I didn’t have time to read) I wish everyone perseverance, goals and discipline. Don’t focus on other people’s time frames for success - the numbers of 1-1.5 years upset me, and I made a goal for myself to get settled in 3-4 months. Don't worry, even if you've already become a developer. Any shock and any stress are the engine of success.
