I remember being obsessed with code and finishing a bootcamp and feeling unstoppable... but I never got the job. I can still refresh my skills whenever I want, but shit like this makes me wonder why I am always late to the party...

you’re not late to the party you’re just never invited in the first place.

There are a lot of highly paid software devs who started with no connections or college degree. This might be the hardest time to enter the field as a junior, but it's definitely not full of nepo babies. You must be thinking of finance/law.

I am going to be honest. It was probably autism and language difficulties (I wasn't good enough at French and I live in French Canada), but the job market was fucking nuts. Even with literally hundreds of applications I only got one interview that went nowhere.
