If you keep doing tutorials and reading books you'll eventually find the way but it is so much better with someone guiding you and some pressure to motivate

Same position as you. I have applied for a job with with different skills than my experience, so I am being paid to learn, with the seniors help

Still not the same as mentor, and I had to accept some pay stagnation

But it gave me a new perspective on my career

The training is based on this: Golang For Beginners - Let's Build A Key Value Store https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PMVyy5YecU4

How To Build A Complete Distributed File Storage In Golang https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bymQakvTY40

I could have done it by myself before, but with some pressure is easier. Definitely recommend them

The 'from scratch' tutorials on youtube are very interesting

Also nowadays where everyone thinks they know best, and new project keep making many of the previous mistakes
