For some reason the first time I do something I always over engineer it... it took me a lot of self growth to take feedback like yours seriously and not get defensive of my “what-if” thought patterns.


I’ve gotten into the habit of just pumping out a naïve solution without worrying about anything and then throwing it away and re-building more thoughtfully because now I have full sense of the scope and some immediate edge-cases. As long as the thing is small enough to do that.


Sounds like you’re firing on all fronts.

What’s your goal/objective? Pick an industry find their association and make inroads.

If you didn’t land a FAANG out of college you’re going to have the hustle at SMEs and build a resume that shows consistency in the following: - you showed up - you got things done (be wary of hanging your hat on that one thing you did back in xxxx).

But if it’s just healthcare, HomeDepot/CostCo may be a good bet. Even if you hustle at a place like that and make manager you can make enough to take care of a family.

Also I’d lose the victim and woes-is-you cuz big corporate isn’t noticing you -‘tude.

At the end of the day your job will be to make someone else’s life easier, if you figure out who, and can speak to how in an interview, chances are you’ll get the job.
