Need help from experienced people.

Hi, i m self learner. I started coding in 2023. I have learned java core, oops, exception handling and multi threading basic concepts with some DSA. I also just completed html css and js and now really confused between MERN and Java full stack. In my area most of people are unaware about coding and stuff so i dont have any fellow who can guide me. As a fresher please suggest which should i choose. My plan is to get a job in July 2024. Thank you.

Hi Sachin, here are advises from a Thai friend who became a front-end developer in 6 months and found a Job in Berlin:

• Try to learn by creating many small projects: follow Udemy class, youtube videos, reproduce everything you are learning
• Try to go all-in Front-end or Back-end; being "Fullstack" requires being good at everything, and will come with experience.
• Start by making one front-end project to learn a framework such as VueJS or Svelte. Then, your second project focuses more on the backend, such as Node, Java, or any backend server. Then, a third project about databases such as Postgresql?
• The more project you do, the more experience you'll get, and you will be able to create a portfolio website, and share what you built on Linkedin.
• If you are blocked somewhere: search your issue on Google, or even ask ChatGPT.
• In July 2024, start looking for a junior position in a company you would like to work for. To show your expertise, you'll have to do live coding or complete projects in 1-2 days.
• Make sure the values of the company are aligned with you.
• It doesn't matter if you should pick Java, MEARN pattern, or any famous language. Just pick something you are curious about, then create :D Voilà!

Consider building a web application using both stacks and choose the one that aligns best with your interests. For example, you could create a CRUD API using Spring Boot, consume it using React or any front end framework you're comfortable with, and then replicate the same API using Express.
