Excitement & frustration; bleeding-edge tech but layoffs, low salaries, and unrealistic expectations. Talent shortages yet highly competitive & scarce entry-level roles. Success being more than just a degree and cert but community, hands-on skills, and resilience. Mentorship and inclusion can help bridge gaps but greed and low-quality content gate keep many.
