Just a few questions.

Is it a remote job?

How was the interview process like?

Yeah no worries bro, you will pull through. My first job was to be a Web Developer using Yii2 Framework, I only learnt the framework one week to the Interview and got lucky to get the job at least. So I was just scheming my way through everything, some sleepless nights on Stackoverflow asking questions as a noob. Finally after 3 months, I became comfortable. Na so e dey be.

hey man... from one newbie who just started a new remote job as FE to another, CONGRATULATIONS!

My first day resuming, I wanted to run. I was so nervous and overwhelmed. I kept saying to myself, "won't this people find out I'm a fraud?" I honestly considered quitting. I just called people on the phone so I could get encouragements, and thank God, they encouraged me and told me it will be better; just stick to it and you'll get a hang of things. Someone categorically told me that in 3 months time, I'll feel the complete opposite of what I was feeling.

It's not even 3 months after, and I feel very comfortable in my role. I've gotten commendations from my boss several times. It's surreal to think I wanted to quit.

All these to say, you've got this! Go and shine!! Congrats again!!!
