  1. Get a sub to zerotomastery.io/ ( I think its $35 a month, but WELL worth it).
  2. Complete the React developer course ( this will give you a really good portfolio project and needed skills
  3. Read and do this: reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/com... (Will be much easier when you have a new project to show off from your ZTM React course ).
  4. Work through the advanced JavaScript course on ZTM (very good fundamental knowledge you'll need for career using JS)
  5. Repeat step 3 till you get a job.

Its easy to get a dizzy head trying to figure out what you should learn and how to get a job. Once you find quality learning resources and a community (ZTM has all of these) then the road is much more clear.

Thank you for the resources. I am very familiar with ZTM. I actually bought a web development course and subscribe to the monthly newsletter.

And you're right about trying to figure out what I need to learn to get a job. I'll just stick to the basics of JS, HTML and CSS.
