so how was the job interview going? Hope you got something.
its on the headlineā¦i got the jobā¦2 month ago
@TinyRick88 Nice thread of posts! Thanks for informing us! I recently joined FCC and I am going through the front-end challenges of FCC right now.
Whatās going on now a days?
thanks, Iām glad you found this topic informative 
today i got my second payslip, so its mean one more month till the end of my probation period.
this is the summary of those first 2 months:
my first project is to help building a UI web app that simplify the process of configuring sensors the mount on an arduino based device. Iām in charge of the front-end side.
on the first month Iāve spent some time, searching for the right technology for this and for future projects.
iāve decided to go with AngularJS and so iāve spent almost 2 weeks learning it and then another week and a half building the first prototype. this helped me to practice what iāve learned and also gave me a better understanding of what we are actually building here.
after showing and getting the approval of the big boss , I spend another week building the second prototype with angular material.
again, we had to make sure that our future project will look and feel similar to each other and so it was important for us to play around and experiment with different frameworks before we start building the final version of the app.
on the second month, after we were satisfied with angularJS and angular material we began working on the (first) final version. we almost there with just a few last touches before releasing it. i was actually hoping to get most of it done today but we were in meeting all day!
first month was nerve wracking. i put a lot of pressure on myself and was constantly worrying.
this last month i calm down a bit and got to enjoy myself more.
all i need to do now is to survive another month 
oh and good luck on your journey @verv0eren !

Howās the job going btw?
TinyRick88,
Great comments! Did you self-teach or attend a bootcamp. I ask because I was curious if a newby can self-teach to
job offer or if the bootcamp route is smarter, though much more expensive.
Thank You,
Dussker
going quite well actually. In two weeks time my probation period is over and hopefully they would like to continue with me 
although I got nothing else to compare to, I think Iām somewhat fortunate to work for a small company who have got the privilege to experiment with new technology and dont put a strict deadline on every project.
up until last week I have been working on this one project but due to some major (probably back-end) problem we are now stuck with the release. Itās nothing i can do about it but wait for our senior developer to solve it.
meanwhile, I finished building another small project and packaged it with electron (which i love!) but since the size of the final app is 140MB! Iāve been asked today to try and refactor it to a chrome app. I have no idea how to do it but im about to find out. google here i come XD
good luck to you with your studying.
self taught. you can read more about it on my previous comments.

Congratulation for the achievement!
Congratulations on your new job! Your advice is very useful for a web developer who is looking for their first job. But Iād like to add that there is a great opportunity to gain some experience as a freelancer. Freelance job boards, like this one, offer a variety of entry-level projects. And after youāve been working as a freelancer for quite some time itās easier to find a permanent job, because you already have experience.
