Comment by Sergio on "Any advice for a prospective web developer?"

Hello Marcus, I know the feel. My first job wasn't my perfect job but with time, effort and dedication al arrives.

I recommend you that have the focus clear, your objectives like salary, ambient, sector, languages you want need to be aligned.

Goo to meetings, conferences, talk with people, make your own projects, self-studying and more, the opportunity some times appears not when you want.

If is your fist job go and send your resume to startups in your area, companies that are interesting for you and simply focus on the technologies you want to be great.

What do you mean by ambient, and sector. Also how would I be able to attend meetings, and conferences? Is there a listing website somewhere that has upcoming events? I have made many small projects and am currently learning Angular 2 while making a user authenticated secure website.

How long does it take to hear back from a company on average? Just curious.

For the meetings use Meetup, and about ambient/sector i mean that focus on the company than fit in your objectives, if you want an open office, or a sector in particular (surveys, marketing, CRM, or anything).

Oh man meetups is pretty cool I have never heard of this. I guess I have been in a small college town for far too long. It's been a while since I have been to a big city. And I see I will make sure to tier my resume for a particular job.
