This Wednesday, we were handed back all the homework from last week and were told to mark the corresponding points in our point chart.

She says a few months for the anxiety to go away. Susan also briefly covered the beginning salary for a coder and how certain geographical areas or certain companies can impact your salary. When they were finished speaking, they answered questions specific to
