Congratulation !🚀 Was your first job something the client reached out to you for, or did you pitch for it? Would you mind sharing some of your experience and tips? thanks
Hey Vikiiing! It was a job I applied for, and if I remember right it happened to pop up as I was checking the jobs tab, so I was likely one of the first applicants. So it may pay to be early! I was also lucky that they became a return customer for a few other jobs.
Congratulations 🎉 🎉
Congrats!
Congratulations brother

Is pro really worth it? I still plan on getting it but want to know how good my chances are at getting a job

Awesome
Just spent a solid 20 minutes playing this. One of my favorite things to come out of these Contra challenges. 🤣
Just now I hung out at the park, played beach volleyball, toasted marshmallows, and played piano with complete strangers from around the world, in real time!!!
