Hi
first of all I would like to thank you the HN community for taking time and helping others, whenever I'm not sure about what to do next I come to HN and there is already someone with great advice/resource to guide me so thank you folks for everything.
I am a front-end developer with 4 Years of experience ( living in India )
recently due to covid-19 situation I wanted to make a switch and applied in multiple companies ( mostly based in Europe and some top tier company in India ) but none of them selected my resume to proceed with interview
at this point I am quite lost in terms of what should I do next, how to prepare myself and what to study/build
like there are Algo and DS, opensource-contributions, personal-projects, blogs, backend stuff, or even maybe new language/field
I feel like I am quite good in front-end stuff but I don't have anything cool to show in my resume
on stack overflow I went from 800 points to 2.5K in just 2 weeks of activity by answering question ( maybe I am ok or above average problem solver )
also I am not good at designing/Architecting stuff
At this point what I can do to improve myself as a great software engineer that companies want to hire.??
Thanks again folks
