I think the best, most reliable way to get a software engineering job is to get a software engineering degree.

If you want a shortcut, I would look for ways to complete your degree faster. Do more courses at a time, and make sure to finish them in the shortest time possible. It should be possible to complete a bachelors degree in 3 years.

I don't think there is anything you can do in a few weekends that will make your Github profile appealing. I also don't think you need an impressive Github profile to get a job as a developer. Most devs I know have boring Github repos.

Well this is reassuring then. I definitely feel good in the sense that I know way more than I did at the beginning of the year. If. I continue this trend I should be a pretty solid candidate sometime in 2022 plus I will continue pursuing my degree.

Thanks
