@SurpriZe Unfortunately I can’t help you much with that… since I am still stuck in my old career while I try to find my first roles in programming =/
I can share some of the tips I received myself, but they’re just general tips really. The first one that comes to mind (and one that I unfortunately can’t make use of) is to be enrolled in a course that allows you to take internships, since at least here in Brazil you need to be inside an university or something similar to be able to take those.
Another one that I am actually trying to do is to complete any small project, even if it is a web page for yourself, because it can be used as a way to show what you can already accomplish, and serves as a portfolio.
I also want to start getting some hands-on experience by contributing to opensource projects like #inkscape, but I am having trouble finding time to put into that because of my current full time job, but if you have some free time, that may be very interesting too (what could be better than helping the community *and* getting some activity in your github/gitlab).
Wish I could help more, but wish you good luck with this journey (and if you find other good tips, feel free to share them too haha)
