Sound familiar?

"I've put in the work.
Why isn't it paying off yet?"

During HNG, I spoke with hundreds of people trying to break into tech. The same few blockers kept coming up, and most people don't even realise what's holding them back.

01
"I've built projects. I've done internships. Still no job offers."

You've done the work. The question is whether it's the kind of work that gets you hired.

02
"Every junior role asks for 2 years' experience. How do I get that without a job?"

It feels like a locked door. There are ways to earn real experience before your first offer.

03
"I can build with AI. But what if they ask me to explain it, or something breaks?"

AI lets you build more than you understand. Interviews and real jobs find that gap fast.

On Saturday, we'll name the blockers behind these, plus the ones nobody talks about, and show you how to get past each one.

Part 2

The blockers that keep coming up

What I heard again and again from hundreds of job seekers, and why most people don't spot them.

Part 3

How AI is changing what companies expect

What employers now look for in a junior hire, and how to use AI to stand out rather than be replaced.

The step-by-step roadmap, walked through live, so you know exactly what to do from January.

Part 5

Live Q&A with our special guests

Bring your questions for a tech CEO and an HR lead: what they look for, and what gets a CV binned.

You'll leave with

A 90-day master plan

Not motivation. A plan. Follow it step by step, and when you land that junior role, we'll celebrate together.
