From Fraud to Success in Tech

Lied on my resume and landed a 6 figure tech job. I was desperate for this tech support

role, said I was proficient in Python when I'd literally never coded a single line.

Figured I'd YouTube it if I got in. Interview comes, boss asks me to walk through a Python

script I've debugged. I panicked, started rambling about some fake project fixing bugs

for a client. Threw in buzzwords like loops and errors I'd Googled the night before.

He nods, impressed. Next day, offer letter. Six figures starting.

I was shaking. First week, they throw me into real coding. I'm sweating,

staying up till 3am watching tutorials, copying Stack Overflow like my life depends on it.
