Trapped in a Dead End Developer Job? Here’s How to Break Free.
Manage episode 439027562 series 2882348
Feeling stuck in your dev job? You’re not alone. In this, I’m breaking down why so many developers end up in dead-end positions and, more importantly, how you can break free. No fluff, just real talk about what’s holding you back and what you can do about it.
I’ve been there—comfortable, bored, and not growing. If your job is sucking the life out of you, it’s time to shake things up. We’ll chat about why personal projects are game-changers, how to push for more responsibility at work, and why networking isn’t just for extroverts (even if it feels awkward as hell).
