Step 2 – Once you get enrolled in the course, there will be lot of things you will learn.
You may like few things and may not like many things. Select the specialty from the
topics you like. For ex. Programming language of your choice, or if you like DB or if
you like Testing software or if you like Networking, cloud related task.

8. How to become a Software Engineer
Step 3 – Master the Programming skills if you want to be a Software Developer. You
don’t need to learn all programming language but alteast 1-2 programming language
you should focus on. This also depeneds on if you want to go in UI development or
Backend Development.

9. How to become a Software Engineer
Step 4 – For a backend programmer its important to know atleast one Database.
Since all DBMS/RDBMS are similar conceptually so we don’t need to master all
Datbases.
Today we should also know one of the NoSQL DB e.g. MondoDB, DynamoDB ,
Cassandra etc.

10. How to become a Software Engineer
Step 5 – For a programmer, its important to learn Data structure and Algorithm. We
should solve problems on everyday basis. We can get enrolled don Hackerearth,
Hackerrank, Leetcode etc. platform to practice programs which may be asked in the
interview.

11. How to become a Software Engineer
Step 6 – Master the theory part of Software Engineering. In the interview you are not
only asked about programming but also Theory part of software engineering. This
include basic concept of OS, Networking , DB, OOPS, Design pattern, Cloud concept
etc.

12. How to become a Software Engineer
Step 7 – Brush up on your tech skills , software developers need to enter the
of tools at their disposal if they want to stand out to employers. “Pick a stack
tools used to create and run software) and get really good at it”.

13. How to become a Software Engineer
Step 8 – Technical skills are essential to a career as a software developer, but
to work on a team and creatively solve problems can be just as important.
interested in the ‘unteachable’ qualities, like initiative, curiosity,
cultural match.

14. How to become a Software Engineer
Step 9 – Gain experience by working on sample projects. To become a
engineer you need to use your theoretical knowledge and concepts practically
working on some real software. Sample projects can help to showcase your
build some personal or professional projects, you can contribute to some open-
source projects and you can showcase it to the recruiters putting everything online.
Your potential employer will be able to see your skills and experience through your
projects.

15. How to become a Software Engineer
Step 10 – Prepare for Interview by going through the sample interview
As a fresher you can expect questions on -
•Programming Languages
•OOPs Concepts
•Master DSA for basic to advanced
•Concepts of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD)
•Computer Science Subjects
•Aptitude and Reasoning
•Resume-building tips and hacks
•Help in building high-quality projects

16. How to find job for Software Engineer?
You can find software engineering jobs through general job posting websites, IT job
fairs and meetups, or freelancing websites. Freelancing websites will connect you
with clients and employers who want contract work done. Even if you are looking for
permanent employment, you can use freelance jobs to build your portfolio of work.
Some companies use recruiters to find software engineers to hire. Building a
presence online and making contacts in both local and online communities can help

5. Artificial intelligence (AI)
6. Cybersecurity

18. Enroll in coding bootcamp
If you want to increase your coding skills quickly,
then you should enroll in coding bootcamp. It is a
technical training program, which helps in learning
programming languages. Actually, the time limit of
these programs is much less than a degree.
A coding bootcamp lasts from 6 to 12 weeks, in which
you focus on the important aspects of coding. Today,
there are many such coding bootcamps, which last for
two years. The biggest advantage of this is that you
get experience in how the software engineer works.
