I Will Do These Things To Become A Better Software Engineer.
1. Practice Interview Questions.
I will use the book Cracking The Coding Interview as well as leetcode in order to improve my problem solving skills and practice the types of questions I will be faced with during interviews.
My plan is to do atleast one leetcode or Cracking The Coding Interview question per day, and 3 on the weekends. Doing this will keep my skills sharp and allow me to be ready for whatever challenges I may be given in the future and help me keep my skills sharp.
2. Improve My Resume.
I will rewrite my resume and get it professionally checked before submitting it to employers.
I will also work on a legitimate side project that I can link to from my resume that will demonstrate my proficiency in software engineering.
3. Attend Meetups and Other Networking Events.
Attending meetups and networking events is fun and also a great opportunity to learn from other software engineers. This will also help me keep a finger on the pulse of the industry and understand current trends.
4. Write On This Blog.
This blog can be my second resume showcasing my desire to learn new things. I will write posts about what I am learning and try to help others learn as well. Through doing this I will increase my understand as well as help out the community by providing learning resources.
Conclusion.
Practicing interview questions, improving my resume, attending meetups, and writing on this blog are the main four things I am going to be doing over the next two years in order to become a better software engineer.
Let me know if there is something else I should be doing or share with me what you are doing to improve yourself over the next two years.
