Need advice on skills and trying for internships (2nd year)
(Had to post here since other subreddits have karma requirements)
I am a 2nd year (3rd sem) BTech CSE student at a T3 college. Focused mostly on college acads (currently have 9cgpa). What I currently know:
-
C (college), C++ (stl and solved some lc)
-
HTML, CSS, JS (basic)
-
SQL (RDBMS in college)
-
Java (OOPS in college)
-
Vibe coded one project for AtomQuest, and another for my RDBMS project.
-
Solved 24Q on LC (Don't get time nowadays due to college)
What I plan on learning:
-
Completing JS, React, MongoDB, NodeJS
-
Doing DSA in C++ (as much as I can)
-
Make 1-2 projects on my own
I don't know my interests that much, but I am interested in web dev and DSA (for logic building), not interested in AI though.
-
I don't really know what role I should aim for given today's scenario. I want to know what is worth learning given my current state.
-
Where to look for internships, so that I know what skills are in demand nowadays and so I can apply to them at the end of 2nd year.
Any additional advice are welcome.
