Some days, I’d study with friends. Other days, I’d go find a cafe and study alone, or hang out at Hack<br />
Reactor’s alumni lounge. And every week I’d check in with our career counselor to talk about my progress.<br />
It’s easy to burn out during the process. Eat well, sleep, and exercise.<br />
It can get lonely. Spend time with friends who are going through the same experience.<br />
Takeaway: Prepare for the long game and make sure you take care of yourself.<br />
In summary, the key takeaways are:<br />
1. Get through to real people<br />
2. Start small and work your way up<br />
3. Study like your future job depends on it<br />
4. Put your best foot forward<br />
5. It’s a marathon, not a sprint<br />
The process may seem endless, but you’re going to make it. Keep putting in the hours. Keep sending<br />
in the applications. Keep taking caring of yourself. All of it pays off in the end. •<br />
