Hardly anyone tells you this about preparing for interviews.

Almost no one tells you this.

Most devs are not prepared to do interviews.

Many believe that changing jobs is:

• Respond to recruiters when they want to leave
• Update the resume
• and start applying

But the real market doesn't work like that.

Without differentiating projects, you are just one more. Without a personal brand, they don't even know you exist.

What you really need:

• Create content that attracts opportunities
• Know how to sell your value by message before the interview
• Tell your projects as impact stories (not tasks)
• Pass technical interviews under pressure
• Master system design
• Generate multiple offers
• Know how to negotiate without fear

It sounds easy. It is not.

Because if you don't do this well, opportunities will slip away one by one. And then the usual thing happens: you accept the first consulting company that calls you and you say that the market pays poorly.

When the reality is different: you did not prepare. You didn't train this as just another skill. You didn't play the game.

I know it sounds harsh. But it's also good news.Because if it depends on you, you can change it.

Law of cause and effect.
