Where to start

Data Structures & Algorithms

To become a software engineer, whether a web developer, a full stack engineer or a backend engineer, you need to be able to pass the coding interview. In order to pass the interview, you need to have a solid knowledge of Computer Science Fundamentals which include Data Structures and Algorithms. Below are my favorite courses to learn CS Fundamentals:

Practice, Practice, Practice

After learning CS Fundamentals, pick one coding language you enjoy and start practicing for the engineering interview. Below are the best resources for interview practice and learning to code really well.

Start scheduling interviews

Once you feel ready to start interviewing, you should start applying for engineering roles. The best way to look for openings are by going on Linkedin and other careers websites, or if there is a company you really want to work for, go on their website and see what roles they have open.
