How can you get a job as a self-taught developer?

This is what I will do if I start from scratch:

1) First, I will define what kind of developer I want to be:

- Frontend
- Backend
- Game developer
- Mobile developer, etc.

2) I will start researching/learning only the necessary skills to get me there – only the necessary skills:

- First, I will research or ask senior developers based on my choice.
- List out all the necessary skills to get me there.
- Gain enough skills, at least to secure an internship in a company.

3) I will start building small and demonstrable projects each week and share them with others:

- I will start building a small project every week and push it on GitHub.
- Meanwhile, I will share what I learned on different social media platforms. This will help me connect with like-minded people and document my journey.

4) I will start enhancing my portfolio and create a CV:

- When I say portfolio, you might think that I am referring to a website (No).
- Having a website is a plus, but what really matters as a developer is your GitHub and LinkedIn. Those are the two platforms you need to focus on.
- Then, I will build my CV filled with my latest projects to demonstrate what I can do.

5) Start applying for an internship (not a job again):

- At this stage, I will start looking for companies that are seeking potential developers based on my choice.
- Contact them and try to get my foot in the industry. Meanwhile, I can repeat steps 3 and 4.

6) Learn as much as possible and contribute as much as possible during your internship:

- Yes, as a developer, you have to constantly learn and update your knowledge.
- Give it your all regardless of the outcome. You might land a job at the same company where you took your internship. If you don't get hired, move on to the next opportunity.

7) Okay, this time you need to look for a job; you have already leveled up from the internship stage:

- Like I said, you don't have to apply for internships anymore. You have already passed that stage; you are now a junior developer. Find a position based on your career as a junior developer.
- Start leveling up from there.

Important note:

* Have faith in yourself and show up every day to do the job.

How long will it take, you ask?

* I would say 1 - 1.5 years to land my first junior position job.

Motivation and discipline are two concepts that are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.

Motivation has never been the sole reason for success; it merely helps you get started.
Discipline, on the other hand, is the ability to control oneself and act in accordance with a set of rules or principles.

You decide and plan to improve your grades, start learning that tech stack, go to the gym, work on that project, create content, start reading the Bible, or quit your bad habits... You were motivated enough, but after you start, that feeling doesn't stay with you.

The point is what you do each day and how disciplined you are.
Adopt a fighting mentality, not just a winning mentality.
