Currently in this transition. Great to hear others did it! Did you feel any advantages at any point? I currently feel like the IT support background helps in grasping concepts on the go and also already being used to browsing documentation and eagerness to work with new tech.
with everyone trying to be programmers that is why it pays garbage. all the jobs r moving to India and China too. programmers will make 30k in a few years. saying your a programmer def isn't a big deal anymore lol. there is literally templates and frameworks for everything
This is my current path. I'm working as an IT support Specialist but my passion is to become a full stack developer. I'm currently doing free code bootcamp, completing The curriculum, looking to land my future job in the developer world..
It was an awesome story and it inspired me a lot!! I'm a CS student and I found it hard to keep the coding momentum every day. I always watch your video as soon as I wake up so that it motivates me to code and to never give up! thanks, man! keep up the good work and vibes..
I went trough a very simmilar journey in the last year, thank you very much for sharing it. You are making very good videos, i hope you will get more subscribers, because a lot of people need to hear you. Don't stop what you are doing!
great content! I'm also trying to move from IT support to development career, but I'm bombarded by a lot of tickets and calls, there are days that I'm burned out and can't even study after work or during lunch time or breaks. Hopefully that will change, thanks for the inspiration man. Cheers!
Hi sir I am also on the same situation, I am an IT support and self taught as aspiring Web Developer / software engineer. With passion and hardwork we can all get in tha path that we wanted as a web developer. Thank you for inspiring me sir and God bless
The fact that you were doing IT Support and then went to Dev is super dope. I'm trying to get into that lane myself it's just been a lot harder than expected because since COVID things have really ramped up at the job so finding the time to get in a little design work is more challenging than I'd expect
These times definitely don't make it easy... patience is one thing that will always prevail so I have no doubt you will find something eventually 😀 just keep at it!
Thank you for motivating me! Im currently working in a call center, but this is not the job that i want. I have been learning coding for 2 months now and going 3! Seeing your video makes me realize that my hopefully will become finally!! Someday. Thank you for this content 👋👋
I was in computer sales in best buy, then went to geek squad. Got a Intern, worked at a Data center technician and now i'm a system administrator. Love IT! Love my Job. Good Vid bro!
I just dropped out from uni doing IT with an outstanding grade (6.5/7). I found what they teach at the university now are really useless., the employers do not want what I learned throughout the years(a lot of contents within the degree are out of touch with the industry). I found myself way more productive if I am self-taught. Within a month, I already built and published 2 websites for my portfolio. Web development doesn't need teachers, it requires discipline and persistence. Your journey resonates with me. Keep coding and keep learning.
@@thatgelofellow try coding Bootcamp if you can get a HECS-HELP on it. Going through a degree is too long and too much trouble. Employers do not care much about the marks you get in uni. All they want to see is your projects and your coding ability during the coding tests(Although I suck at this, I am not very good at data structure).
currently doing IT at a k-12 district. Im convinced I could do anything from devops to front end to backend to IoT if I had to. Just gotta believe in yourself and grind grind grind.
this reminds me coding until morning. because of this burning passion to develop a database system, which i did, but i'm not an IT graduate. i'm fond of electronics.
Im in the same situation. Have 5+ years of being IT support. I always wanted to be a dev however didn't have enough experience. Now im schedule for an interview for a dev role. Hope I can pass this. Thanks for you video.
One way to overcome deficits on the resume is with side projects for sure. Not sure if you have any just came across this channel randomly. Learn/apply your knowledge while flexing your creative muscles
Hey man ! Just found your channel. Great content. I am beginning my own journey now! Just accepted a substitute teaching job in Austin and got a part time job working at one of the coffee shops that has a lot of developers as customers for networking. Cant wait to begin the process and grind of learning to code.
@@course4classmuchmore182 it’s a good thing I didn’t listen to anything negative like your comment. I was able to network through my coffee shop job . Meet some really cool people and started going to developer meetups. Was able to land a job as a desktop support tech at a game studio here in Austin. The team is great and helped me learn. I’m 4 months into a developer role using C# . Sounds like you give up before you even start
I think you you have to focus on one stack, at this point spreading out will burn you. Deep dive into one field. Otherwise you will find out yourself just rolling in one place without any progress. You started as a JavaScript developer, just keep going, this stiff much deeper than it seems like.
great video man ! I am in the same place as you ! Learning coding for almost a year now, mainly front end... and looking throughout the job ads even a Junior Dev needs at least 2 years of experience hehe. freelancer is a way to go for a start I guess. Anyway, keep it going, its working for sure :) !!
Man, I am a civil servant, so... as dumb as it gets hahaha but you inspired me, I will give it a shot and try to learn some coding. Great content, keep up the good work!!!
@@jjayguy23 do you think this is better than a boot camp? I mean times are worse now that USA is under wave 2 again of COVID but is this interactive with other people for help? I know a boot camp out there that’s super affordable and legit it’s under 2k if you’re interested. I want to join the cohort but haven’t done it yet as I am a full time desktop support specialist (IT Support). A lot of my work can be done remote at home so might as well take advantage since I’m not onsite at campus everyday pre-COVID..
1-2 years? Companies just want to see hunger. Make sure to develop some working examples of your skill set early and don’t just watch tutorials for the sake of it.
@@EmunStudio Nice! Well if you have a good job that makes total sense. You will also be able to find what you are most interested in field wise as in Devops, Mobile Dev, Game Dev, Front End Dev etc. Have fun!
Man finding jobs is so hard as a self taught. But I found a couple clients that I’m currently working for. And I started my channel about web dev as well. To document and also make money from content creation. Maybe later in the future land a job
Thanks for the testimonial bro. I'm working a non-tech job that I hate and studying code in my spare time. Been frustrated with my progress and considering going for an IT Support certificate just to get me out of this job and into the tech industry because I'd rather be doing that and learning code on the side than keep doing what I do. Would you recommend this if being a developer is my end goal?
I relate a lot with you, and currently I am learning javascript from Jonas Sch... But want a way to manage my time with school and all can you help me🙏
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH The Father In Heaven’s LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM
I was in I.T support for 13 years before getting my first job as a software developer. Never too late!
Never ever too late! If theres a will theres a way
Currently in this transition. Great to hear others did it! Did you feel any advantages at any point? I currently feel like the IT support background helps in grasping concepts on the go and also already being used to browsing documentation and eagerness to work with new tech.
Currently in IT support and working on that now .... glad to see more people who were once where I was now.
I took the same career path. IT Support, IT Sys Admin, IT Analyst then Front-end Programmer.

I am in this situation right now. still trying to get my first frontend developer job and I hope I will get there soon
Your videos are super inspiring! Any chance you could do a video about how you got into photography, its something I've wanted to look into.

@@sexysputnik cop
Bro why are u not doing free lancing you are so good u would earn much better
Inspiration Bro, ig fan and started around March but still trying.
Keep on grinding and thanks for the support
Good vid bro. Hope all the self taught devs out there kill it 🙏🏽
This vlog inspired me to get back at it again.
Really strong 💪 💪 💪💪 and feeling motivated by hearing this🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Dope this is currently my journey as well
I am cs graduate Doing IT support, trying to upskill as developer. Hope to reach the destination soon.
I'm making a similar switch!
I’m been thinking about switching to coding but not sure on where to start. Been in It support for 10 years now
You have an Irving jersey?? He did your team dirty
In what cases do you use iPad in your workflow? Maybe you can make video about it?😊
Will for sure make a video on this soon!
I relate a lot with you, and currently I am learning javascript from Jonas Sch... But want a way to manage my time with school and all can you help me🙏
Maybe I'll make a video on this
You remind me of myself.
The only thing I don't like about this video is that number 11 jersey in the back ground. That boy did you guys dirty
What are the resources you used paid or free ? Please make the video about it
Were you taking your instagram photos with your phone? Or did you have a pro camera?
Inspirative
Greetings from Turkey, videos are great. I hope you add Turkish subtitles. 🙏🏽
I love you
lol were the same im on my way to web dev from tech support
Good luck!
MY GUY! PLEASE REMOVE THAT PAUL PIERCE JERSEY! Aside from that, great video!
It's Fidalgo, not Fidal xd
I also do videos about computer science!😁🎬
Nice you retired Irving and pierce jerseys 😂

U are so handsome, I can’t listen information.

Wait. So you never got a job as a self taught dev?? Lmao
