Hi Product Hunt! One day in September, a seemingly random thought came to me: why isn't there a newsletter for juniors in tech? I tried to find one, and couldn't. So I made one. Every Wednesday, I send out resources and opportunities for entry level people in tech. Things like conference scholarship opportunities, articles with career advice, junior tech jobs, tutorials and case studies, and interesting tech-related things to read. And as of today, there's a job board with entry level tech roles. (I've been wanting to do this for a while. It's very frustrating to scroll through a typical job board when you're straight out of a coding bootcamp and see nothing but senior roles.) I also do Q&As with people working in tech, especially juniors. In this industry, sometimes it seems like juniors are made to feel like we're too inexperienced to have an impact. So I've prioritized interviewing juniors in tech who are doing great things and inspiring others. For example, Tae'lur Alexis, who learned to code on her own, is now a software engineer, and is working on a platform to help others break into tech. Or my co-worker Faye Hayes, a bootcamp grad like myself, who is building her startup Playloops. The goal is for Juniors in Tech to be both a resource, and a community for entry level folks in tech. I want to thank the nearly 950 people who have subscribed so far, and I'd love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions you might have.

@keziyahl I have also seen the same problem of finding junior jobs from list of all senior jobs so launched Entry Level Jobs few days ago on Product hunt.
