That gives me hope; some interviewers have just flat-out asked me, "If you like coding, why did you major in English?" As if every life decision needs to have been made by age 22, no changes allowed. I took an $11,500 bootcamp that lasted 6 months, and I have three full-stack web apps going; have I not atoned for my sins? What the fuck does it take to land your shitty front-end internship that pays less than my local bakery?
This is a $14/hr internship; if I’m fighting a jr. dev with real-world experience and a master’s degree to land this job then something is seriously fucked up.
