Description

? About the episodeMeet Matheus Pessoa ??! Matheus is a recently hired new developer who landed his first junior developer job after only about a year of learning to code. To make this story even more awesome, the CTO of the company he works at reached out to him!   In this episode, you'll hear how Matheus approached learning to code with ADHD, how he chose front-end development as a career that blends his several different interests, and how, ultimately, he landed his first dev job. You'll learn what's important when applying for jobs at startups (hint: it's not necessarily your tech knowledge, especially if you're a junior), can you apply for a position involving something you haven't learned yet, and how not to get stuck if everybody on your team is super young.?
