Reminder: The market is ASS right now, absolutely horrendous, so if you're on your dev journey right now and applying... deploy all the patience you can, it WILL eventually pay off! Thanks so much for watching :)

hello sir.... nice content can you suggest some of the important things for starting my journey in front end development like roadmap, how to achieve success in this field, some good projects and tips please

It's great to see the story of a dev on UKposts that has a realistic journey in their career instead of the usual "I graduated from this top tier college and got a job where I interned."

Great vid! This is really reassuring. I started out as a design graduate in 2021. I worked with a real estate company as a Graphic Designer for nearly 2 years before leaving due to lack of career growth. I am now currently working retail while I look for another role in design. Just nice to know that the journey isn’t necessarily straight forward and it is OK to take a step back.

Love the channel bro. I saw your Day In The Life video recommended to me, which was very well done, but I had to sub after this one. Wishing you the best moving forward.

@YanBrassard 2 місяці тому

Impressive background. It shows that failure is part of the process to succeed and the best option is not always the easy path. As you said, you said no to a full time permanent opportunity to take a temporary contract with Activision and you are now a full time permanent staff member!

@derickmoncado 2 місяці тому

Totally 💯 need the lows in order to have the highs, appreciate you watching!

How did you learn AEM?

Handful of training sessions with my manager and having some great support from colleges and referencing other already-built components in our codebase
