I have 1 year of experience as an Associate Software Engineer and a 6-month internship at my current company. During this time, I’ve worked with Java, JSP, React, and Angular, and have experience with databases like Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server. I completed a Python course on edX and used Python for my final year research, focusing on machine learning.

To expand my skills, I’ve started two MERN stack projects to strengthen my knowledge. However, I feel uncertain about my expertise and want to build confidence in my technical abilities as I plan to transition to a new company this year.
I would love to hear from experienced developers:

• What should I focus on to improve my skills and confidence?
• Are there specific areas or technologies I should dive deeper into?
• Any advice for standing out during job transitions? Thank you in advance for your valuable insights!
