1 Stop waiting until you "know enough" to start building. Projects teach you way more than tutorials ever will. 2 Use Git like you're already working on a team. Clean commits, meaningful branches, and pull requests are habits worth building early. 3 Don't rely on LeetCode alone. Mix in Codeforces, competitive programming, and system design if you want to stand out in interviews. 4 If you're not getting callbacks, audit your resume. Study resumes from students landing top internships and figure out what they're doing differently. 5 Learn the tools companies actually use: Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, CI/CD, and Linux. These are just as valuable as knowing another programming language.
