Tips on accelerating your software engineering career

Being a software engineer is a progress, I would love to share tips on how to accelerate your career towards quick mature.

1)learn at least four programming languages that are not closely related and master them, example JavaScript, Python, Java and C++.This opens your mind towards learning future programming languages with ease and solving data structures and algorithm problems with ease.

2)Be comprehensively familiar with basics of computer science like : Object Oriented Programming, Developing API's using various frameworks, Software Design patterns and Multithreading

3)Master data structures and algorithms. Make sure you have solid understanding of every detail in data structures and various algorithms. Know how to implement them from scratch.

4)Start solving question problems on data structures and algorithms from various platforms. The most recommended one is 'https://leetcode.com/' then 'https://hackerrank.com'.Make sure you always optimize your problems effectively.

5)Learn System design comprehensively. You can take a course like (grokking the system design interview).You get to learn more on designing data intensive applications.

6)Be doing projects in all this time and contributing to open source projects. Its always recommended you do projects using various programming languages and frameworks. Don't stick on a single programming language .This exposes you to various kind of problem in industry.

7)Start applying for various roles. Upon invitation read comprehensively the book on (Cracking the coding interview by McDowell).It usually helps in visualizing and understanding the interview process.

PASS THE INTERVIEW, CELEBRATE
