Need A mentor

I’m Jyotirmoyee Mitra, an aspiring Python Software Developer aiming to break into product-based companies. I’m reaching out to seek brief mentorship from experienced professionals who can guide me on:

Technical Roadmap: Best practices for Python, DSA, and system design for product roles.

Project Guidance: How to build impactful projects that stand out.

Interview Prep: Strategies for cracking coding rounds & system design interviews.

If anyone is open to a short call, occasional advice, or even a quick review of my resume/GitHub, I’d be extremely grateful! Happy to connect via DM or schedule a chat.

[Jyotirmoyee Mitra]

With 3.6 years of total experience, but only** 0.9 years** in development (Python/Backend). Earlier, I worked in IT support, but I aggressively pivoted to development by self-learning and landing a short-lived role as a senior developer—a leap that exposed my skill gaps and led to unemployment.

Now, I’m rebuilding my foundation:

• Learning Python, DSA, and system design from scratch.
• Enrolled in bootcamps/building projects.
• Targeting SDE roles in product companies, but feeling overwhelmed by unstructured learning.

I’d deeply appreciate guidance on:

• Skill Prioritization: What to focus on today to become job-ready.
• Project Depth: How to go beyond tutorials to build resume-worthy work.
• Interview Prep: Bridging the gap between theory and real-world expectations .

If anyone has 15 mins to spare for advice, a resume review, or an accountability check-in, I’d be immensely grateful. Happy to share my GitHub/LinkedIn for context!

To mentors: Your hindsight could be my roadmap. 🙏
