I’m in a very similar situation where I’m experienced in the work force but I’m new to coding and I’m trying to make the career change. I know I can do it, but it’s very validating to hear your processes, realistic timelines, and goals.

Best podcast for a Junior developer. I am really loving this podcast “Imposter syndrome” really hit me. Loved the Points on having good attitude with the colleagues. Loved the gumroad website lot of resources out there. I faced many of those challenges mentioned in the podcast were I thought I am the only one facing these problems. “We are all human beings and live the life happily apart from your computer” - does really hit me It looks like I found my mentor checkout if you will find yours.
