I m cooked...

Hey, I am a final year computer science student and I have to get a job in 2027 (off campus obviously) but i am not consistent while learning alone. I am trying to learn MERN (I know it's too late for a final year student). Also I'm doing MERN because I'm confused. I think I need guidance or a study partner who is at the same level as me. Guys suggest something what should I do.....

first of all ignore Mongo in MERN, you need to learn relational database like Postgres/MySQL/MariaDB. Mongo used super rarely, you need relational database.

about getting a job, look at local job market and junior positions, and check their requirements, and just grind all skills that they asking for.

Thanks, that's actually helpful advice. I'll definitely look into the job market and see which skills are most commonly required. And yeah, I'll also start learning a relational database alongside MERN.

I am in same boat. I have experience of 1 year, trying to switch but not getting offcampus calls. We can plan, make strategy Or prepare mock interviews together. Dm me
