I am a senior data analyst and I have been trying to move into a ruby/rails software eng role for more than a year now without success and it's frustrating. I went to engineering and business school, did a rails bootcamp and was among the best there, built and shipped to production two web apps www.discute.co and www.rimbaud.ai, created a ruby gem (https://github.com/fsndzomga/mistral_rb) and worked on plenty other projects in python, javascript. Yet no one wants to hire me as a software engineer. It is really frustrating. What kind of level of talent should I demonstrate for people to ever take me seriously and give me a chance ???
