A very general piece of advice:

Try to find a small and unusually talented team doing what you want to learn, and get hired by them. There is no substitute to learning from smart/experienced people.

(This is after learning the basics + the intermediate stuff.)

This sounds like great advice that's very difficult to follow. How do you find a small and unusually talented team? And if you don't yet have the required skills, how do you get hired by them?

By being crafty.
