   Thank you! Some really valuable advice there. How was the bootcamp for you? Was securing a job afterwords part of the problem? How did you afford room + board in SF? I've considered going through one of the programs that promise a job

   Could you go into more detail as to what exactly a Jr dev is at those places then? If I'm not making an accurate comparison then I'd like to know specifically what area(s) I'm lacking.

    Thanks for the advice and for the links! I didn't negotiate, maybe I should try to do so now for a raise?

    I actually just created a LinkedIn a few days ago with hopes that it would help. How did you go about populating your profile and connecting with people exactly? Right now my page more or less just exists and I'm not sure what to post

    Well that's somewhat comforting at least. It just feels so normalized here on HN but the demographics are understandably skewed.

    I'm generally able to adapt to new languages and technologies relatively quickly. I'm able to build at least simple applications from scratch and have at least basic understanding of all the component parts and how they fit togeth
