How tough was it for you to get your first job, and how long did you stay before moving on?

Question

This is the hustle era, and finding a job is tough for everyone. The process is stressful, hundreds of applications, countless interviews, rejections, and then finally landing a job.

How was your experience? Any tips for freshers?

Took me a while to land my first gig out of school, around 3-4 months of applying and interviewing. Stayed there for a year to get some solid experience under my belt before making a move to a better opportunity. Sometimes you gotta grind it out at first to set yourself up for future success!
