I am a coding bootcamp graduate who is having a hard time finding my first dev job.

PROBLEM:

Most internships want students who are in college (I'm not) and most junior positions want people with at least 2 years of experience. I'm looking for my first front-end development job.

ABOUT ME:

- I changed careers from the medical field.

- I graduated from a good coding bootcamp, so I know basic HTML, CSS, and JS.

- I briefly helped a friend with a React / Redux app, so I know the fundamentals of React.

Because I've had a hard time finding my first job, I was thinking about going back to take more web development classes to build up my portfolio. The school I was looking into is about $10K and it lasts 7 months.

So instead of that, I wanted to see if there are any companies out there that I can pay who is willing to let me learn on the job. I know it's a rather crazy idea, but you never know, right?

JOB REQUIREMENTS:

- I want to be treated like any other dev in the company (work with PMs, designers, other devs, and be assigned tasks).

- I'm interested in front-end development particularly.

- Since I have started learning React, I would prefer to work on a React app.

- I would like to work with someone who is patient and is good at mentoring beginners.

- The company should be located in NYC ideally (but open to remote if you think it can work).

- The job should last full-time, 7 months at least (ideally).

- Since I'm paying and the whole point is to learn on the job, I'd expect the interview process to be more lenient.

PAYMENT / "TUITION":

- Up to $10K

I left Stony Brook University in 2017 with a Master's in Computer Science, and am currently seeking a software development position. I'm open to contract, part-time, or full-time opportunities. I care about writing code that's not just correct, but documented for the developers' sake and designed for the users' sake.
