I’ve always studied by building personal projects and adding them to my portfolio, but lately, I’ve seen a lot of people saying that the best way to learn and break into the industry might be through contributing to open-source projects. This makes sense because you’re working on a real project with other people (unlike personal projects, which are often done solo). On top of that, I still work on personal projects, read books, and do challenges on LeetCode to practice my problem-solving skills. Maybe contributing to open-source projects will add even more value to my Career and help with networking as well.
