How did you break into the industry or level up from junior stage when everything felt saturated?

Especially curious about what actually worked for you (skills, networking, projects, timing), not the usual “just grind LeetCode” advice.

What would you do differently if you were starting today?

How did you figure out your direction when things felt completely unclear?

I’m not talking about perfect plans — just the phase where you’re figuring out work, stability, and what actually makes sense long term in Kenya right now.

Would appreciate real experiences, not motivational quotes.
