Hi Jaylyn,

The goal of this challenge is to use variables to construct a string. The way you've built your message uses the values of the variables themselves and while that will allow you to pass the 2nd stage it will cause problems on the 3rd. You need to use the variable names as placeholders for the text. For the 2nd stage this would look like:

let firstName = "jay";
let lastName = "kang";
let role = "developer";
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role;

From here you can add the toUpperCase() method on to role on the last line to take care of stage 3.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
