What should be my first step now that I'm fresh out of bootcamp?
Hi Alfredo! Here are my two cents; while the boot camp gave you the tools and knowledge, most companies (assuming that you want to work in a company and not start your own) will still look for any experience in their tech stack. One alternative is looking for open source projects that need some help and contribute with code, documentation, or even triaging issues. On the one hand, open source will give you experience real-life situations and, on the other hand, improve your network. Of course, don't put all your eggs in the same basket; keep improving your portfolio, participate in events, talk to people in the industry, and don't give up. To start, you only need one company to say Yes.
Cheers
