[QUOTE="RichieP, post: 811028, member: 2540"] Sorry to hear you're struggling. Even though you'd studied hard, honestly it sounds like there's a gap between what you've learned, and what employers want. Why dont you try to get feedback from them from interviews, and also pay careful attention to skills listed in job postings etc. You could even email say 50 agencies and ask them, short and sweet, what they do and dont look for from a front end dev. It's not so much a tech bubble, more that there are just tons of mediocre bootcamps now and employers are more aware that many of them dont produce competent developers. See: [URL]https://medium.com/@kenmazaika/the-dirty-little-secrets-about-the-worst-coding-bootcamps-out-there-a894fea33efe#.fjngmue6g[/URL] You just need to figure out what the gap is between what you've learned and what employers are looking for, then build projects that tick all the boxes and showcase your abilities.
