My story: making real world working products to train and show your skill. I learn program to make my own products. I made several working products but they didn't work as a business. I need a job to survive. I tried to use Upwork to get a gig. There was a team hiring enginners. I showed the tech lead my repo and my working web apps. He is impressive. I get hired. There are some luck involved. It turns out that my tech lead is not a good programmer. Maybe his lack of experitise is why he hired me. I don't know. But it helps to have working product and public codebase to show. Wish you good luck!
