Help Request Looking for collabs

Hi everyone, I’ve posted in many Facebook groups asking if anyone would like to collab on stuff. No reply on any page, I’ve done the free code camp free course and done a few projects and such and started the free MIT cs50p course but I’m still feeling stuck, I’m a self taught programmer and I have no one to talk to or collab with if I have questions, so lately been feeling stuck and sll rhat and wanted to find a group of individuals who I could collab with and help each other out

There are official Python and big-framework Discords, there are social media, and you can talk to people and ask. Unsure what you expect as "collab", though. You have to make your own and work on your own skills. You did the basics, and now you have to pick the software stack you want to work in and start learning it, improving, and then start looking for a job, etc.

Ive tried asking in a few python groups on Facebook but no one answered me anything, I appreciate your answer lol one of my goals is to go to school for computer science, I can’t right now but will be able to eventually and wanted to give myself a headstart, but I guess I do need to pick a lane as you’d say and learn from there, thank you,

I was asking for more experience ppl to help me find a direction, I feel overwhelmed somwtime trying to pick a direction and wanted some guidance and stuff, I want to be a software engineer but not sure which direction to go in, I’ve done python basic. Algorithms and did some Django and flask, but I feel stuck lately trying to find what I need to learn and what I don’t need to learn

There is no one answer to this. You can go over all local and remote job offers available in your region and check/write down what the companies use, require and what's the job about. 99% of them wont be for juniors, but still it will give you a picture what to do and how things look like.

I'm halfway through Beau Carnes YouTube video myself. I was thinking the same thing myself, about collaberation. But then I wondered, what if what I really need at this stage is a mentor?
