Within 6 months I’m going to be doing so financially well that when I see a struggling single mom in the same line as me, I can buy her groceries.
I’m gonna fucking do it.
Just watch me.
I just received a rejection from a company I was really excited about. The interview went well and they even said they really enjoyed talking to me “want to keep in touch, as I may be a fit in the future.”
I’ve grown numb to most rejections but these are the kind that sting.
I have good news to share!
Starting Monday I will be an iOS developer at
@GetSpectrum
with a team I’m thrilled to get to know and opportunities for tech growth I couldn’t have imagined.
I give so much credit to you all, my circle has carried me so far in this journey. ♥️
I just was informed that the budget for my position has been cut. I have to the end of the month.
I’d love to get recommendations for open roles for a junior iOS developer position!
RT for visibility would be much appreciated.
It was about 6 years of being a divorced single mom since I was 20 years old. I’ve now closed that chapter of my life and opened a new one. We couldn’t be happier.
Today, I move into my new place. I’ve been in a guest bedroom with my son the last 4 months, before that a 1 bedroom basement apartment and before that a fucking motel room through the pandemic. 320sq ft to 1200 sq ft in three years.
I did it. He deserved more and I delivered.
I am looking for an iOS dev position. WFH and US based. I’ve been focusing on SwiftUI, will gladly learn UIKit as well.
If you could give this a RT, post any open jobs you have, or DM me, it’s much appreciated 🖤
After not hearing from
@dejadu13
for a couple days I and a few mutual friends became concerned. I called the officers in his area this afternoon to request a wellness check. Only to be informed his body had been found last night.
My closest friend of 10 years is gone.
I’ve applied to probably 50+ places in the last 24 hours. Thank you guys. I’ll keep riding the wave and pray one of them pulls through. It’s slightly embarrassing how it’s brought tears to my eyes at how supportive each of you are. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Since I got laid off Aug 2023 I applied to over 90 positions.
I had a few small projects with some friends and one turned into the full time job I have now. I was even offered equity. Moral of the story?
Community matters.
I got blue light glasses and it’s crazy how much easier I can read an article without going cross eyed now.
Not gonna lie- little bit thought they were a scam before I tried them.
I’m Via. My iOS journey began in January. I have been studying full time since. Grew up as a US Navy brat. I’m a single mom to my 5 year old boy. Transitioning my career from a Master Esthetician & Instructor. Working to improve my kids and my own future. 💥
Tell me your story.
“I’m at a Starbucks working” a text I just sent a friend at nearly 9pm. A year ago this would have meant I was working behind the counter scraping together cash. Tonight it means I’m writing a conference talk about my tech journey. Wow.
@soren_iverson
Okay but actually this is how a close friend was found earlier this year. He lived out of state and we had a group chat of nerds and when he stopped responded to us all I called the local police. It was horrible to have them confirm his passing but I was grateful they could.
Guys. One of the most underrated resources are the free courses from prestigious universities like Stanford and Harvard. They post year old content on YouTube for anyone. Use it.
Some perspective. In the last four years I’ve endured:
Divorce from a physically and emotionally abusive husband.
Suicide death of my teenage brother.
Pressing charges on a date rape.
But here I am, standing up and growing.
I am woman, hear me roar.
I deleted my personal social medias, streaming services and binged the top recommend self help books this time last year to get into this career. I have more than tripled my income and saved us from homelessness.
2020 I was living out of a recycled Super 8 room. I called it my slum studio. 320sq ft for my son and I. No kitchen, we did dishes in the tub. I worked 3 jobs and nights for keys to discount rent. Coke deals in the parking lot. I refuse to go back. I will win.
I spent months on my conference talk for
@DeepDishSwift
The feedback I’ve been receiving has been positive and it’s encouraging me to pursue this for the occasional conference. What an amazing first time experience!
Unemployment day 3:
Was up till 3am due to extreme anxiety and nihilism. Applied to several non-career related positions to try to simulate a feeling of security.
3 interviews today, 2/3 iOS developer positions.
Just had a meeting where I was told that I deserve respect. No one should be talking over me in a meeting and to say something if they did.
I’m an apprentice. But they’re treating me like a human.
