They Rejected Us
I graduated from Fullstack Academy, and I&#x27;ve been rejected outright by most companies I applied to; only a couple have given me over-the-phone interviews, and nobody brought me on-site.<p>I have all but stopped applying, am doing freelance work to keep my skills sharp and pay the bills, and plan to start my own company in the future.<p>My motto: If you can&#x27;t join &#x27;em, beat &#x27;em.<p>Edit: most companies I applied to are not of FAANG caliber. Also, I don&#x27;t feel entitled to be hired; in most cases they didn&#x27;t even deign to write a rejection email.
