Absolutely inspiring journey, Eleftheria! Your story truly showcases the power of seizing opportunities, even when imposter syndrome tries to creep in. Your dedication to sharing your knowledge and connecting with others is remarkable. I especially appreciate your practical advice on finding your niche, crafting presentations, and persevering through rejections. As someone who's already working on breaking into the tech field and wants to engage with the community, I'd love to know how you managed to balance your job search, learning, and community involvement. Any insights for beginners like me who are juggling multiple aspects of their tech journey? Keep up the amazing work! 🚀🌟

Thank you [Vidit Goel](https://hashnode.com/@ViditGoel) for your kind comment.

" I'd love to know how you managed to balance your job search, learning, and community involvement. " -> I combined "learning" with the "community involvement", meaning every time I was learning something, I would find a way to share it on twitter, upload it on github and even write an article about it... I'd ask for feedback or if people had similar projects as mine I'd have a look and comment on their work. (All the above are pretty much things I still do). As far as finding a job, you have to have a system. Don't spend more than 1-1.30 hours per day looking for jobs/applying because after some time you'll get tired and you won't be focused on what you're applying to. With that said: focus first on the jobs you really want. Be patient as some companies have a very long process. Keep a Excel sheet with all your jobs & interviews. Last but not least, ask your network (even if it's small) if they have any jobs or if they can propose you to a company (but don't put pressure on them). I hope these helps.

Thank you.
