Well, from the top of my head, I have 3 advice.

  1. Start from the basics and build from there. Don't spread yourself too thin with C#, and containerization, and databases, and distributed architectures, as most of the newcomers try to do.
  2. Avoid LeetCode-esque challenges like the plague. They serve no real purpose other than a quick screening mechanism for companies.
  3. Find a mentor. Most importantly though, find a mentor whose teaching style matches your learning style.
