Yup. I went back to school a few years ago after being burned out.

I studied to be a developer because I like building things and problem solving. Finished a couple years ago. I spent a year looking for a job but I could only get one call back. And they still ghosted me after.

Maybe it’s me, but I’ve always been good with resumes and interviews before.

There aren’t many junior developer jobs out there. And if there are any, the don’t pay a livable wage anymore.
