Basil used to dread switching companies.
A new codebase to learn, a new tech stack, and more pressure.
Every jump came with a wave of imposter syndrome.
That's until he started working on practice projects and building systems end to end.
He got comfortable jumping on any project, understanding the requirements, and shipping features from day one.
He landed an £85k role, about $110k, at a funded startup in the UK.
He was already shipping features from day two, which impressed his manager.
In his head, it was just easy.
That's what solid fundamentals and hands-on practice do.
“I've reached a point where grabbing stuff doesn't take me time. Nothing is hard, nothing is challenging. It's like a piece of cake.”
