So I applied for a job, got a coding challenge that I kind of botched. There were soome issues with the HTML (to be expected for a job that was done in 2 days, I got the assignment in june but due to me beeing stupid I submiteted it in august but I had to rush it). I called the hiring manager up after the rejection and he was really pleasant, I asked for what I could improve to have another chance, and if they had a cool-down on reapplying. I got the response that it was probably good for me to get some experience building some real sites and working on translating sketches into real designs (i.e. basic HTML and CSS) but the javascript and react looked good. From his perspective I had taken a couple of months to complete it, and that was not ok, from my perspective I had completed it in 2 days and forgotten about QA.
Anyways, he was really nice and gave me some pointer on what to improve and said I could reapply any time when I felt I had improved sufficiently. So, the question is, how do I move on? I would really like this job.
