2/10... It's looks childish and unprofessional. I don't think web dev is your calling. You need to look for another suitable path away from tech. Your design is poorly done UX and UI are shitty. It's like something designed by a total lunatic(no offence)...

My honest opinion

justwise:
People are getting banned by spambot for quoting the above post, please avoid quoting it..i really don't know why the spambot tagged that post as spam.

Staged how? I’m lost

If you think this generation is the worse. Wait for the next generation

Why would a man not do DNA test at child birth like seriously in 2022. It should pretty much be the first thing you do before you even take your child home and start spending money on baby formula.

TheManOfTheYear:
My interview was great. I'd rate it 8/10.

I was already in the meeting room online about 5 minutes to the start of time. The first question was the usual "tell us about yourself and your background".

I gave a brief narration about my work experience so far, (didn't let them know they were internships), also talked about some of my technical writing experience.

At this stage, I quickly chipped in on some of the open source works I've done. The CTO guy immediately developed keen interest when I mentioned open source.
I've actually been doing some beginner friendly open source contributions on GitHub. Both in code and in technical writing. The guy seemed to love that fact.
I made sure I use that moment to shine.

He asked me to show some of my open source contributions on GitHub, which I did.

Now, after about 30 minutes of chit chats, it was time for some technical rounds.
Unexpectedly, it was my projects on GitHub they decided to use to fire me questions.

They went through my different code on GitHub and ask me questions. For example, the guy would enter a file and see a block of code somewhere, he would ask me to explain what the code was doing. Why I used that approach instead of another approach (which he would mention).

Omo me wey don forget why I write some code sef
However, I would do my best to explain to the best of my memory and knowledge.

I made sure the interview was as communicative as possible. I expressed myself a lot.

So after one hour, they finally relaxed me.
Now it was time for me to ask them questions. So I decided to ask about their product. What their product really do and what the aim was in the near future.

So yeah, interview process differs, the main thing is to give them a reason to employ you.

But as for DSA, well, that's different lol.
Not all companies use DSA, that must have been a very high paying job role.

They gave me a specific time they'd get back to me, so fingers crossed.

Wish I could take all the breaks in the world, but I’m currently interning in two different places, front end dev at the first, Springboot and sql and the other one. And they both come with serious responsibilities. There’s no sugarcoating it really, it’s hard and the funny thing is, it doesn’t even get easier eventually. One just needs to get used to it.

frankfab:
I can relate with everything you said. I'm currently in this stage and have been procrastinating on writing.
Have few articles on hashnode, dev.to and medium.

I'm planning on writing 1 article per week from next month and would need accountability partner.

THELATTERMAN:
Hello,
I entered the university 2020, but it no news that there was a stop in the academic session due to the pandemic.
To cut the story short, my first semester result came out on Friday, and my G.P is 3.88.

Is 4.5 or above still achievable?

SanctifiedSista:
All of this makes sense
Before going for any interview. Don't eat beans, moimoi or Amara the night before

English to pidgin and vice versa. Some even provide translation in Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba.

I started with audio transcription, though it can be time consuming. You need a quiet space to trancribe smoothly. Though it's been a while I transcribed, I currently do voice overs and pidgin translation gig.

You could do both fiverr and up work. The only disadvantage with upwork is one has to bid for a project to get one. This is based on the little knowledge I have.

You do not have to limit yourself to one area when freelancing. You might be shocked at the number of people that might be interested in that idea you consider as not worth it. On fiverr you would fine a wide range of services. Even some you might consider absurd. One is not limited in that space.

Also you could learn a skill in an area that is in high demand when you have the time.

peace!!
