There are so many aspiring backend developers that believe that it's IMPOSSIBLE to land a backend role as their first position. It's just not true. This episode aims to provide support, but also realistic expectations of the mindset needed to become a backend developer. Quite frankly, many coding bootcamps are falling short of properly preparing people for these roles.
As a bonus, what started as me wanting to pull as much advice as I could from Rob, for developers aiming for backend roles, turned into a long episode LOADED with advice for all aspiring web developers. I hope this helps!
