I'm currently in my third year of college and I've mainly learned C++ and Python. I can handle basic data structures and algorithms, but that's about it. I don't have a GitHub or LinkedIn profile set up. A few months ago, I tried using LeetCode but lost my motivation halfway through. With internship applications already starting and having not been selected for any, I'm feeling really lost. The placement cycle begins next April, and I feel like I'm falling behind. Can anyone help me with a clear roadmap or advice on what steps I should take next?

If you're feeling overwhelmed, first things first, make a GitHub account and start committing some code to get those green squares going! It's crucial for showcasing your work. After that, update your resume with a neat template and make sure to learn in-demand skills such as Java, C++, JavaScript, and others. It's a lot, but having a solid skill set can really make a difference. Remember to keep building projects, apply for internships constantly, and don't lose hope—stay focused!
Don't forget to add Python to your learning list! It’s super useful. Just be realistic about what you can achieve as a junior; it’s not about having every skill down perfectly right out of college.
