I've recently finished a full stack web development course and I'm finding it difficult to land a job right out of the gate. I have a fairly extensive background in marketing and advertising but I'm hoping to make a career change in tech. I've had some interviews and tech challenges and they've said that they were impressed with my experience and ability to complete the challenges but they ultimately passed. Wondering if anyone can share their experiences or offer any tips.
I currently work in Marketing but have been working on side projects that involve coding in python (django), css, html, ajax. I would like to gain more experience. What do I need to do, where should I start, in order to get a full-time job in software development? What kind of salary can I expect to make?
