How do I get a better job?

Looking into a career accelerator. I'm the co-founder of Formation.dev, and other ones you should look into are Interview Kickstart, Pathrise, Outco, Scaler, Coachable. All of these programs are very different day-to-day and focus on different things, but they help people with step 2, 3, 4, etc... of your career. If you have a solid year of experience, you probably aren't missing any practical skills for big tech. Big tech expects to train you in their own stacks, which are so complicated even experienced engineers need training. You are probably missing the DS&A fundamentals, interview practice, system design, and behavioral training to talk about your 1 YOE effectively, and these are the things the above work on \^\^\^\^ If you can't stomach another $5 to $15K on a new program, then consider a la carte Interviewing.io sessions. If you are super lost, try to leverage your network, Discords, peers, to try to help figure out what you are missing.
