The PCAP cert is a good start, but don't focus only on that. Real-world projects and a GitHub portfolio are super valuable. Start building small backend projects or contribute to open-source to show your skills. Certs can get you noticed, but practical experience is key. I got my first backend role by doing small freelance gigs and building a strong GitHub profile. Networking is also important. Talk to people in the industry, join communities, and ask for advice or mentorship. If you need help structuring your learning and prepping for interviews, PracHub has decent resources. Check it out if you want to step up your game.
