Well, I didn’t have any CS degree. All I have done learning from the official documentations and lot’s of books. When I started learning programming 3 years ago, I didn’t know where to start from. I picked up python as a starter which was quite easy for me in the beginning and I started implementing in my own way to have the desired output of linear regression, polynomial regression etc. soon I understood that it was a rabbit hole so i turn my direction into django. It took one year to catch up with it because at that time I was working in Indian restaurants as tandoori man. It was like 7 days a week and 12 hours a day putting your hand inside the oven of 400 degree Celsius and yes, that was the required temperature to make delicious nan breads and I was very good at it.
In portugal, you can earn a lot if you have a decent owner in a busy restaurant. But I needed time to learn django and it was hard for me after such relentless stressful work. Then I took the job in a Portuguese restaurant and started as ajudante de cozinha(cooking assistant). Yet I knew zero Portuguese but my English was fluent. After one year I became chef and worked there 2 more years until I got my first Portuguese resident card. Meanwhile after learning django, it was hard to work with jinja2 in frontend. Because I had zero knowledge on HTML, CSS, bootstrap. My site wasn’t responsive and I was copying the free templates. It wasn’t a good strategy.
Then I came across an article in medium.com which was discussing about reactjs hype. I started learning with that and it took another year to grab it. At first, class system of reactjs and componentdidimount/didunmount seemed like to be the hardest ones but I overcame these by using useEffect and learn react hooks by Daniel Bugl helped me a lot to grasp reactjs.In this time lot’s of things happened. My visa application was rejected (country out) and my mom died from severe kidney failure. I earned a lot but I sent almost everything to my dad so that my mom could had a better treatment while taking her dialysis. But in 2019 she couldn’t take it anymore. Before her departure my plan was that if I could get the resident permit I would go back to my country and give one of my kidneys to mom. Her death shattered everyone in my family. I was mentally broke, depressed.
After 6 months of my mom departure, I got my first resident permit and then CORONA started. I lost my restaurant job. I had a small saving. So I invested all my time in making projects which was mainly based on DRF+react-hooks and nodejs+react-hooks and I added the features of material ui, framer motion, react three fiber in my projects.
Then from February 2021, I started applying for developers position. Most of the rejected letters mentioned about not having a CS degree and zero experience in programming field. Most of the companies wouldn’t even recognize my past education. Some experts I met in meetup /discord/linkdin advised me to take boot camp. But I was running out of money. As you know Portugal’s hospitality and tourism sector is already undergoing a severe recession but they still won’t declare it officially.
To survive, I had to work in construction sites, gardening and most of the works paid me like 1 euro per hour. Some jobs were even unpaid. But they were kind enough to share a sandwich. In this way I managed to have a COVID lay off letter and through this I claimed social security allowance from the government. That was the best support I have got and when I got the first monthly allowance I ate with my full content after a long time.
While passing such a shitty situation I have managed to learn data structure and algorithm in Java. I made couple of projects. I have applied for 312 jobs and attended 7 interviews. The most of the interviewers were unresponsive after the interview but they were kind enough, inspirational. I have got more than 100 rejection letters where most of them pointed out my lack of CS background.
Any way, 2 days ago, I was coming from a construction work where I didn’t get paid. I was little bit depressed, someone gave me a call out of the blue and was telling me about our previous interview. I was in doubt and thought of him as a prank. Then when he was started talking about my portfolio project and GitHub account, I tried to find a tree, sat under it. I was shivering and tired because I was very hungry due to heavy work in construction, but managed myself somehow to answer his questions. I wasn’t very optimistic because I have attended couple of interviews so far and all of them were very polite and positive. He asked about previous job experiences in Bangladesh and talked about bachelor degree which was from a Bangladeshi public university.
In the end, he was saying like that: hey, enough of your restaurant jobs, you are not born for it. I want to give you only one shot, do you wanna take it? I was startled and answering “yes” to everything. Even if he would say that it would be unpaid, I would have also grabbed it. But nope, he didn’t say that. He mentioned about the salary which was also ok with respect to portugal perspective.
And here I am starting my first job from coming Monday as a full stack developer.
I dun know what I will do over there but only thing I am sure of, if you try hard enough and love your task from core of your heart, you will get it done.
Sorry for the long story. Actually I’m little bit drunk and emotional thinking about my past. Yes, I know I am not a perfect person or kind of selfish, but this is what I am.
Never give up whatever people say. That’s what I understood from my life.
