In this podcast, we'll share 7 stories we've received from iOS developers currently going through challenges in their careers.

And we'll answer some tough questions about dealing with adversity. Both in normal times and in times of crisis.

You'll learn what has worked for us and our students over the years and what actionable steps we believe iOS developers can take to get their careers to the next level, even during tough times.

Some of the questions include:

  • "I've been an iOS developer for over 6 years, and I don't feel like I'm as good as I should be by now (I still feel like a junior in many ways) - What should I do to improve?"
  • "I quit my iOS dev job last month because I wasn't happy there. I thought it would be easy to find a new one, but then the corona crisis started. What should I do?"
  • "I started a job as a Senior iOS dev less than 2 months ago, but I was fired due to the corona crisis. I was still in the probation period. I'm afraid this will look bad on my CV. What should I say if a potential employer asks me why I only worked there for such a short period?"
  • "I am an iOS developer since 2017, and I only heard about the SOLID principles last week when listening to one of your podcasts. I started realizing there are many things I don't know about programming. I'm not good at managing time to study and saving money to buy books and courses. Can you give me some tips?"
  • "I am a junior iOS developer, working for 6 months in my first job. I always thought I would learn a lot on the day to day at the office, but I don't feel like I'm improving at all. Shouldn't working in the office be enough to help me improve my skills?"
  • "I am already an experienced iOS developer with over 10 years of experience. I'm sure there's a lot more I can learn, but I can only find courses covering the basics. How can experienced iOS developers improve?"

If you want to learn what differentiates people that succeed even in times of crisis, we recommend you watch or listen to this podcast. Implementing those concepts can take your iOS career to the next level.
