why thats? are you a dev in london btw? if you are any tips for findning entry level jobs for a grad im graduating in may this year and want to potentially move to london i live in europe laready

I'm not really a developer but I'm considering moving in that direction. I currently write macros in VBA and do a little bit of SQL stuff for a market research company.

Interested in Bitcoin so I've been attending the London Developer meetups, seems like Rust and Go got it next.

Printed out my resume and my flight leaves first thing 7am.

Company doesn't do phone or video interviews so my ass is flying there for 2 days that I have off and the company was cool enough to work around my schedule.

Best case scenario: I get the job and get to enjoy Chicago for 2 days

Worst case scenario: I don't get the job and get to enjoy Chicago for 2 days

Send some good energy my way brehs , already have another interview over the phone at another tech joint elsewhere in case I don't get it.

Anyway, my ass gotta get back to studying.

Rust and Go are 2 languages people should look into.

I saw today that Go devs are eating good right now

This shyt costs $350 to book, I might have hit a lick


I did take a practice test for fun and scored 90%(a vast majority of the curriculum is shyt I deal with on an every day basis so it's not new material). It's not like it would advance my career in any way, I might flip it

I passed my 901 two Mondays ago.. took the last 2 weeks for a vacation and bullshytting around, also got caught up with some stuff at my day job, tryna get on the 902 studying now and its been hard as fucccc to get back to the grind. I should have just jumped straight into the 902 with no time off
