[BAWD #52] Become a Frontend Engineer at FAANG
Hello there 👋🏾,
I trust you had a blissful week? Sorry, I’m late again; I probably will fluctuate with my Sunday posting schedule for some weeks due to my new complicated schedule. However, I’ll be back on track soon (thanks for still reading whenever you receive my letters :)) Btw, here’s a friendly reminder that too much challenge makes life hard, but so does too little. Find a balance and grow exponentially with it.
