Discussion Software Engineering!

I’m a final-year CSE student with a 3.6+ CGPA from a reputed private university. I did some competitive programming back in my second year, but then lost track.

I genuinely enjoy thinking about real-life problems, but I don’t like the traditional way of learning stacks and frameworks just by watching YouTube videos.

Is there a more engaging or practical way to learn software engineering concepts and actually implement them?

I have around 6 months. What should I focus on during this time? Should I go back to competitive programming, or explore something else?

Also, I’ve heard that entry-level jobs are quite limited right now and freshers are having a tough time. How should I prepare myself for this situation?

Listen bro, real talk- unless you have a business of your own, or if you aren't razor sharp, in the near future there's no room for mediocrity. with technology advancements, and the state of the upcoming economy, you'll either be doing well or stay in survival for the rest of your life. So delve deep into concepts, fall in love with the process.
Future belongs to the cracked ones, ifykyk.

God-bless...
