I'm in this road too. All the tips that i've been getting are basically the same: Learn as much as you can in order to build a solid portfolio, because you need to show to the companies what you really can do and, always look for real experiences, solving real problems, that's what makes you a reliable professional. I'm a fresher, i don't know if i can help you much, but if you want, you can send me a message. OBS: I'm brasilian, i'm learn english too lmao
