That was a lovely read! A few years ago was in a similar situation where I had my full-time job and a full-time master's, it was hard... but with good planning and support from the community I was able to do it :)

Thanks for writing it [Julia Furst Morgado](https://hashnode.com/@juliafmorgado)!

Keep putting things out and document your journey. Before I was hired, when I doubted myself during my low points articles like this are what picked me up and made me want to keep going.

With your words and your journey, you never know how you can inspire others. Keep it up!!

Excellent article, Julia. 👏👏👏👏👏

It is very valuable not just developers but also for everyone else pursuing their dreams while having a full time job. 😊
