问HN：我如何才能以中级编程技能获得工作？
基本上，我是一名自学成才的程序员，我的技能水平可以归类为中级……我主要掌握JavaScript和Python，还有一点C++。此外，我在前端网页开发方面也练习过，并且相当不错。
我一直无法突破中级水平，因为我不在科技行业工作，而且我在学校上了一些先修课程，这些课程并没有教我任何我之前不知道的东西，除了让我获得更多的C++实践经验。
我的成绩都很优秀，我有一些个人项目，我很自豪能够展示，但不知为何，这些都让我觉得不足以在科技行业找到工作，大多数招聘信息都要求有多年的专业经验，或者如果是实习生，要求离毕业还有几个月的时间。等我毕业时，我快30岁了，我真的希望能尽早开始，否则我将被困在毫无前途的零售工作中，勉强维持生计。
你有什么建议可以给我吗？

So basically I’m a self taught programmer and I would classify my skills as intermediate… I mainly know JavaScript and Python, and a little bit of C++. but I’ve also practiced and gotten fairly good front end web development.<p>I’ve never been able to push past the intermediate level because I don’t work in the tech industry and I’ve been doing prerequisite classes in school which didn’t teach me anything I didn’t already know besides having more hands on C++ experience.<p>My grades are all excellent and I have some personal projects I’d be proud to show off but somehow non of it feel good enough to land a job in tech, most if not all listings require multiple years of professional experience or being a few month away from graduation if it’s an internship. By the time I graduate I will be close to being 30 and I really want to get started much sooner than that, otherwise I’ll be stuck in dead end retail jobs barely scraping by.<p>Do you have any advice that I can follow?
