Introduction
As decided before, I will be documenting my progress month-wise in Hashnode, along with that I will set the task for me to take up in the coming month. This way I can better prioritize my learning as well as reflect on my progress so as to be more organized in my learning and more productive in life.
Initially, I thought of writing monthly wrap-ups but in this post, I will cover the progress of April-May because I was not regular on Hashnode in the month of May and June for some personal commitments.

Professional front
I served the notice period the month of April as I was about to change place and eventually the job. I really enjoyed my workplace where I worked for about a year, and learned a lot both through various projects and colleagues I worked with. My colleagues were very professional, friendly, and helpful. I am going to create a compilation video for collecting all my memories at my workplace.
As I moved to a new country along with my husband, my job hunting continues. Out of hundreds of vacancies I applied for, I was called for 3 interviews so far and my job hunting is not yet over. Even though a remote offer is in my hand, I will never settle for less than the best. I hope that very soon, I will have wonderful news to share with the Hashnode community.
Target for July,2022
- To get back to #100DaysOfCoding
- To complete Legacy Responsive Web Design Course and try some CSS art as project.
- To cover at least 50% of Applied Data Science Lab by World Quant University
- To write at least 1 blogpost for each for my blog and Hashnode
Final Note
I have been extremely motivated by Tech Twitter community where different programmers keep posting their progress in #100DaysOfX Challenges. I hope to be more organized and mindful of what I am doing and improve regularly.
