Thank you for the feedback @ingosteinke
! I think you make a very valid point about creating your LinkedIn ASAP. I see no harm in this, I may want to make some adjustments. You should always work on growing your network! Joining a tech community and engaging is like steroids for growth potential.
I mostly left it at the end because I would like individuals with no experience to be able to speak about technology and what they have done before applying for jobs. I have interviewed a lot of candidates over the years. There always seems to be a difference between entry-level candidates who say "I am learning this right now" vs the ones that say "I built this".
That being said I would like the takeaway from this to be, just go build something! You don't need to be an expert. Find a stack that works for you. Build it. Apply for jobs. Talk about your passion for building, what you learned, and how you want to continue to grow. That will resonate with a lot of engineers who interview you.
Use this roadmap as a super high-level blueprint for landing your dream job! You will become an expert in time.
