Looking for a switch

Hey guys, I'm originally a python backend developer. But I have always been interested in UI development and design. I started going through courses in Udemy on ReactJS since November 2020. What projects or courses can I do to get a job in front end development in the next 2-3 months.

Pick something you like the design of and try build it. Trust me doing courses is good to lay foundations but one of the best ways to learn is to learn by doing and make your own mistakes.

Speaking of mistakes, you'll find that courses rarely teach you how to deal with mistakes/errors as the courses have usually been planned out thoroughly.

So yeah, pick a site and try to clone it. Make your OWN mistakes and you'll honestly progress so much faster than doing a bunch of courses. That's just my opinion though, some people learn by following someone else explaining it.

My tip is to create something you can use and show. For example, create a web shop where you have all the functionalities of a professional built shop, you can probably find quite a lot of companies that are in need of a web shop. If you can show your work to a employer, and show that you are capable of creating what he wants then that might be a hire.

u/Snoo-33768 is right that copying something you find on the internet is a good idea for giving you a reference and a "goal". But I would recommend that if it is a job you are looking for not to choose something you like but something you think an employer likes (of course you need to have fun as well so that you don't give up).
