Redux seems like a good one to pick up. I"ve used React Context API to make some things so Redux isn't so intimidating.
From what I can see on this outside, this makes sense.
I'm personally not so picky about what skills I need to learn. its all just stuff at the end of the day that I have to sit down and do.
My question for the moment is always whether or not x, y or z, skill will make me more marketable to get an attempt at demonstrating that I can be a productive employee.
i appreciate the insight! A bootcamp isn't in the cards for me for a bunch of reasons, but I do have some friends who are devs and have been helpful in guiding me.
sounds like theres no avoiding the spamming applications part of the process to get that first job though. The worst. A lot of these code meetups turn into other jobseekers eating the free pizza complaining about this part. Luckily, I'm near NYC so I can catch a good amount of these. Usually lots of people from Flatiron School there.
your take on the tech stack is interesting. Seems some people advocate for just getting my feet wet with a bunch of the stuff, then filling in the gaps later vs what you're saying which is more calibrated for those whiteboard style interviews?
I did get a response from a recruiter last week and she mentioned they don't do them, I'd have to do a take home project instead, which I'd vastly prefer!
I highly recommend you meet one or two folks with experience who can review your take-home stuff before you submit it. I know my job search would have likely gone smoother if I had some feedback. Things like: where things go, how things should be named/structured, what is conventional in the language/framework you're working in etc. are key for take-home assignments.
Currently focused on applying 10+ years of video, audio, and ecommerce expertise to front end web development by building with Javascript and frameworks like ReactJS, Redux, Material UI, Firebase/Netlify
On the content creation side, I have experience with Facebook & Google Ads, SEO (tools include SEMRush, Ahrefs, SurferSEO etc), & most major audio/video software (Adobe, Blackmagic, Ableton, etc)
