    Looking back, even I am amazed by the fact that building this very website kickstarted my path to become a professional web developer, especially since I did not come from a tech educational or industrial background, but I am glad that it happened.

    I am happy to be able to switch my career path to web development despite not having a computer science degree, and that my prior working experience as a graphic designer helped with getting this new opportunity.

    Bad news: My first web development ended up lasting only four months, as I was unable to pass my probation period. See my blog post "Leaving My First Web Developer Job" for more details.

    After spending time in weighing my choices, I choose to not accept my manager and boss' offer. I want to be a web developer, not a marketer. I got my current job because I wanted to get my first job as a web developer since I am switching my career path from graphic designer to web development. As a result, I was given a termination letter on the next day, stating that my current employment will only continue for another month until 3 January 2025.

    In hindsight, I should have seen it coming that my employer do not intend web development to be the main part of my job responsibilities in the company. My official position in my current company is actually marketing assistant, not web developer, not web designer nor WordPress developer, meaning I was actually assigned to the marketing department to support the marketing manager. The company does not have a tech or IT department, so everything technical was handled by the outsourced web developer.

    Occasionally, I was assigned to do graphic design work. I did not mind it despite having burned out from graphic design as a profession, because most graphic design works for my company were still handled by outsourced graphic designers, and I could still help with tasks working on my company's WordPress website.

    I have been trying to look at the positive that at least I actually got some professional web development experience, even if it lasted only a few months, but I also learned the hard way that sometimes, an employee's goal and what the employee can offer to the company do not match what the employer actually wants.

    I have been trying to look at the positive that at least I actually got some professional web development experience, even if it lasted only a few months, but it still hurts to realist that web developer, the field I am current focus on and the skill I was supposedly hired for, did not get valued by my current employer as I thought.
