Sorry for the click bait, I just couldn’t help myself. Mike and I actually spent some time debating what would be better, ‘How I Coded For 159 Days Straight and Got A Job’, ‘How I got Rejected From 40 Companies and Still Got A Job’, etc. The possibilities were endless.

Here’s the good stuff though:

159 day streak on GitHub (starting from App Academy)

139 job application sent out

94 companies that ignored me

40 rejections

11 phone screens

9 final interviews

5 offers

1 job

It’s been a long road transition from a chemical engineer to a software dev but it’s finally turning into a reality! On Monday, I start my first day at Course Hero. I’m really excited!
