Thank you so much for sharing your story and for forwarding my post to recruiters. That means more than you know.
Your path resonates with me, especially the part about molding positions into programming adjacent roles. I've been trying to get "in the door" for months now, but the ATS filters seem to catch me before anyone human sees my work.
The depression struggle is too real!! I've dealt with similar challenges while doing contract work. Some days the rejection emails pile up, and it's hard to keep going.
I really appreciate you taking the time to help. The "non traditional lead" framing is interesting, though I've honestly never thought about positioning myself that way :). At this point, I'd just be grateful to get in the door anywhere.Hoping something comes from those recruiter connections. Thank you again for believing in me enough to vouch for me to them.
