What I learned from spending 3 months applying to jobs after a coding bootcamp
I&#x27;m happy for this guy, and there are really good tips in here for managing an application funnel.<p>Like others, I&#x27;m surprised offers north of 110 are possible given his experience, and can&#x27;t help but bristle a bit at him being a self described &quot;full stack&quot; developer when it appears he&#x27;s a front end developer (does rails really count as being a backend engineer?).<p>But he worked exceptionally hard at the process (guessing having applied to 10x the places a typical engineering grad does?), and also has a strong background in business from a reputable university. For some jobs, especially at startups, knowing how to understand the business problem and deliver results can be really important. The challenge isn&#x27;t the tech, it&#x27;s combining just enough tech [1] with essentially being a product manager too.<p>[1] learning that &quot;just enough tech&quot; is not easy, and it&#x27;s clear he worked hard to master a lot of material. It&#x27;s just that many of us have been working that hard for many years and likely have more expertise &#x2F; ability to learn new tech fast than can be gained by anyone in the course of a few months or a year; hence the initial surprise
