Shot gun it, applied to everything that is close to your roles.<p>I told two people this when they have no experiences or very little and no degree. It doesn&#x27;t hurt and they all got jobs now. One is working for Raytheon the other is somewhere else in a hospital hitting 6 fig as Oracle DBA with a business degree.<p>Make a nice resume and put it out to every job and learn from each interview. If you&#x27;re interviewing a tons of web dev jobs, you will encounter similar questions, so just learn from the ones you fudge up.<p>Never give up.<p>I always thought I&#x27;m not smart, but I&#x27;ve worked in the startup industry and most of the time I&#x27;m surprise how little my peers know. I&#x27;ve only been to one start up that had a very very good programming team and that startup had the money to spend on very decent programmers.<p>If you&#x27;re 30 and wanna settle down don&#x27;t do start up, it&#x27;s risky as hell and very ton hours. I wouldn&#x27;t take magic monopoly money of equity and stocks unless you like lotteries. I would go to established company.<p>I did php for 8+ years and everybody thinks PHP dev is disposable compare to other like RoR. RoR seems to get higher pay and stabler jobs imo.<p>I hit my 30 now and I&#x27;m going back to school for another skill set, data science (math&#x2F;stat&#x2F;ml). Startup burnt me out and it wasn&#x27;t worth it, I got some exotic skills on my resume, Scala, Python, etc.. but once you hit older. You don&#x27;t want 70-80 hrs a week, and can be let go any moment.
