What do you need to know to qualify as a Junior Developer in C++ (Question for a very beginner coder.)?

Question

C++ / C#

Good afternoon. I've been studying C++ for a while, and I wanted to ask a question, what exactly, besides knowing the language itself, is required in order to be able to start working and qualify myself as a Junior Developer? What areas are worth exploring? I'm interested, because I am at the very beginning of becoming a programmer. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

As soon as you start working, you will qualify yourself as a Junior Developer.
To study - learn how Google search works, find about 30-40 vacancies in your region and carefully read the description - this way you will learn not only the opinion of random people on the Internet, but also the real idea of ​​a junior developer that a potential employer has.
And do not consider my answer as a joke - instead of theory, really study vacancies and requirements for them, since they are the determining ones.

Answer 2

To position yourself as a junior, regardless of the language or stack of required technologies, you must first have a knowledge base of this language or technology API. The second step is the ability to work with it. If you are able to solve at least 80% of the basic tasks assigned to you within the framework of your existing knowledge base in the shortest possible time intuitively and autonomously, you can consider yourself a junior developer. It doesn't matter whether the result is a complete piece of shit code, the main thing is that the result solves the problem set for you. When you learn how to do it competently in consistent code standardization and study the main points of code and algorithm optimization, then the question of qualifying you as a middle developer will become urgent.
