It is absolutely okay if you don't get a great job right out of college

[Jason Voorhees]

Your career spans 20-25 years. Your first job doesn't decide your last job. The job you land at 21 won't define who you'll be at 30.

I literally landed my first freelance gig after 3 weeks of grinding left and right and got paid peanuts. Many people here seen think they're falling behind when they can't land a great job right out of uni because of social media. Ppl only post their wins which make it looks like everyone else is winning but everyone at some point as been there. I've been rejected more times than you probably ever have. I have been there i know rejections are tough.

Shit just happens man. Sometimes we end up underperforming due to circumstances, due to the family pressure, stress, anxiety all that is happens. There's no need to beat yourself over it too much. Failing isn't the problem.Failing and thinking you're a failure that's the trap.A loser isn't the one who fails, but the one who stops trying. Even if your first job isn't high paying it's fine as long as you get some value either in form of skills or exposure it's fine to take a low paying job. Most people don't start with glamorous roles anyway. It's usually the 2nd, 3rd job where find a footing and land something solid

I've known people who literally started with minimum wage IT support roles and ended up in top level senior and staff Engineer roles after many years of hardwork, upskilling and networking. It's the trajectory that matters in the end

You shouldn’t put effort into work
Just do the bare minimum and chill

Atleast in the tech field. Employement gaps look really bad on the resume. You almost always will get asked about it if they are there. Some form of employment is always better than no employement
