Why? Because the baseline has changed. Degrees alone aren\u2019t enough. Bootcamps aren\u2019t magic tickets. Even solid portfolios get drowned in the noise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The demand is for <em>experience<\/em>, and that\u2019s a chicken-and-egg situation: you need a job to get experience, but need experience to get a job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wi\u0119c Kochani&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drop the Illusions.
