As the title suggests, I'm seeking a guidance on a strategy to fulfill my goal of becoming a full stack engineer. I have minimal connections in the industry and no experience. What did it take for you to land your first gig? What should be my focus?

My current situation:

I am a senior, and will get my BS in Computer Science next fall term. My passion lies in web development and I am mostly self taught because my university does not focus on web dev.

I am confident in building websites from the ground up with Node.js and React then deploying with NGINX. I have a personal portfolio and a weather app. Along with school projects such as a fintech banking website and a procedurally generated 2D game. 

I also participate on a programming team every semester to represent my university in competitions. 

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this post! 🤙
