<p>I wanted to share my experience so far at my first job as a Front End Developer.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<div style="height:37px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>
<!-- /wp:spacer -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I've never believed I would get into the industry to be honest.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I was thrilled with the idea of working as a developer but I truly never believed it would happen.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>And so it did!</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Going back one year I decided that I would do everything to work as a developer, so I started building some personal side projects at home and learning how to code and work with new technologies and methodologies.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After my first day of work, although feeling happy and that I've accomplished my goal, I felt really really scared and I thought of quitting...</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I felt out of place and that maybe after all this hard work this wasn't a job for me and that I wasn't ready for it.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I've learned a lot of new things in my first day and that was daunting.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>How I did not give up</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I kept focused on my objective and tried to have a little bit more fun at work. I've always loved learning new things, specially in this industry and that's what I did, I saw it as a fun learning experience.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>3 Months after...</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When I started writing this post I had just finished my first day at the new job.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I never ended it because I had to focus a lot on my work and I had to learn a couple of new frameworks, coding techniques and how to work with the command line.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So it has been a great experience after all. I am learning quite a lot really fast and I am enjoying it.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It has been a real challenge in every aspect.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I am quite happy with my performance and I aim to keep learning more about coding, mainly Front End and eventually learn some Back End development.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I hope to keep climbing up the ladder! :)</p>
