Having a hard time finding a job in current market.
I am a self-taught developer with 6 months of experience at a remote startup. It was my first job, and I was not very good at interviews, but I still got the job because of my passion for building stuff and and my ability to take ownership of features. I was an intern, but the pressure was quite high. I built MVP-level features like a ticket management system, a tenant system, notificatoin system and deployed projects live with CI/CD on EC2.
Whatever our small team built at that startup never reached real users because the founder kept pivoting and sometimes threatening about pay. i didn't get mentroship but we work together and spend time to figure out batter approch,
So, I completed my internship and started looking for a better job. I spent about one month preparing for interviews and building new projects based on everything I learned in the past.
It has been 2 weeks since I started applying for jobs. I applied through job boards and a few company websites, but I have received no response yet.
I love building apps that are maintainable and enjoy system design concepts. But I am bad at interview-related topics. I can explain projects and my decisions, but I get stuck on theory, patterns, and edge cases. Still, I am working on improving that.
If you guys can give me some time, I would like feedback on my portfolio, the projects I have built and how I can improve. It would be nice to know where i am standing as i am developing imposter syndromes.
