    As a software engineer, I feel this. We usually go through 4-6 interview stages for each company. Good luck, Julia! You absolutely got this! Both SQL and Python are very powerful languages to have a firm grasp on.

      getting interview number 1 is the hardest part! Tech employers with unrealistic expectations of every single job is annoying asf.

    Great to give yourself some space for the job search and not feel "rushed". Obviously everyone's situation is different but I was laid off last year. A little further in my career in tech, at the Sr. Director level, but it was quite a shock. It was the first time in 20 years I didn't have a job. I gave myself 3 months off (severance). Gave me time to rethink what was important to me and my family. I started consulting. Interviewed for lots of roles but didn't find anything I really felt was right. So still consulting and working on starting my own business.
    It's a journey. Also, learn to love the power of "no". When you say "no" to something (a role that's a bad fit, etc) you are only eliminating 1 possible option. All the other options in the universe are still available to you. When you say "yes" to something you eliminate ALL OTHER options. So make sure the "yes" is something you really feel good about. Good luck!

    Hey Julia~ best of luck on your job search! I already know you’ll land a job you love because you know what you want and it’s inspirational to see how you strive to go for it. You’re much younger than I am, but I think you just inspired me to review my database knowledge and update myself. Please keep the videos coming and I hope the next level interviews go well for you!

    I am a very casual SQL user for my job and i am on and off with studying more advanced concepts. I learned a bit of python too and started a personal project, but there's been no progress in a while. Life has gotten super busy and stressful for me recently, but this video has me inspired to get back at it!

    As a manager with 18 yrs experience with SQL I agree with her assessment of SQL interview knowledge: the most I would expect a candidate to know is the CTE. There are obviously much more advanced uses of SQL, even more advanced uses of the CTE, but advanced uses are something we should be able to teach OTJ, personal opinion.

Your vlogs are for young and slightly older, starting careers and finishing them as well. Praying for you and your future. Your recipes look delicious.

    For more than three decades, American companies have outsourced a significant portion of their jobs to India. Currently, this issue is so pronounced that even top Computer Science graduates are struggling to find employment. Some have been out of work for over three years, while others are becoming elementary school teachers. Unfortunately, many Americans seem to lack awareness of this phenomenon.

    Video idea alert,
    I love how you said you know what you want out of the job, what you want to do in the job and skills you want to either use or skills you want to gain. Can you do a video on the skills you have vs what you want to expand on the job, how you know exactly what job you want and want to do on the job and even do a interview scenario of the answers and questions you face on interviews and how you answer them?
    I am in marketing and I know its board but I usually apply to social media roles or digital marketing roles ( this role you need more SEO, Paid ads experience which I new at),
    but I think my issue is I dont know what I want, what industry I want t work in or what I want to do.. At this point I want a job lol, but I would love some advice or how you figured out what you want in a job and what company/industry you want to work for

    I am also in New York and looking for a new job. I am currently employed though. You're right. The interviewing cycle for tech positions is brutal. Moreover, for every company the kind of preparation needed is different. For the last two months I've just been focusing on preparing for Meta, and I still don't feel confident. After this I'll try for other companies like Google, which will have it's own prep.
    The HR/Recruiter call ALWAYS goes well though! Haha. They are the best.
    Anyway, good luck. I cannot get myself to quit my job and look for a new one. So I mostly spend nights and weekends in preparing.
