I wanted to get comfortable using Node, Express, Postgres, and Knex while continuing to build on my understanding of Redux and React. I also wanted to learn how to not sound dumb in when answering interview questions.

Design a 40-hour "work week" that provides time for:

• Code (ideally, 2-4 hours a day will be dedicated to coding)
  • I plan on working on the technical challenges in this repo for two hours every day, and then move on to the Turing School challenges after that. This will be part of my morning routine.
• Outreach & Networking
  • I want to reach out to at least four companies every week, and I want to make sure that my outreach emails do not sound like super-generic form letters. I'll send out at least three emails every morning.
• Job & company research and tracking
  • I want to keep my Trello board and my Jobtrack updated.

• Why I deserve my future career:
  • I work hard
  • I like to learn
  • I work well as part of a team
• What I envision for my career
  • I want to work on web apps
  • I want to work with a team
• I want to have opportunities for mentorship

• When you hear the words 'bargaining' or 'haggling', what words or images come to mind?
• When you hear the word 'negotiating', what words or images come to mind?
• How are these images/word associations different or similar?
• As a new junior dev, on a scale of 1-5, how confident do you fell about the idea of negotiating your first offer?

I used React and TypeScript for this project, and I bundled my code with webpack. I considered adding Redux so that I could take advantage of it's store functionality, but I decided that React's state-handling tools would be sufficient for what I wanted my app to do. Limiting the number of stateful components in my project was one of my goals going in, and I managed to keep all of my state in one parent component. I find that making components stateless whenever possible helps me keep my React projects cleaner and more readable.

I chose to incorporate TypeScript into my project because it is a technology that I really want to become more comfortable with. It makes my code safer and more explicit, and helps me avoid careless errors that I might commit if I were using vanilla JavaScript.
