Apply like crazy. Come up with a unique pitch for how you can solve problems in these circumstances and email agency recruiters and leadership directly. And good luck!

What’s the alternative? If you don’t try...then what?

Yes. To both. If you have a year’s worth of savings then yeah, take time off.

Apply to whatever you find but know that most agencies are on a hiring freeze for now.

My husband has a tendency of always shutting me down in discussions. I don’t know why, but his ingoing position is that I must be clueless regarding whatever topic we are discussing. It’s very annoying because 1) I find it disrespectful 2) I am smart enough to have the same job as him and 3) it means we can never talk about anything- he always turns it into an argumentative way of disproving whatever I say

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.
