There's so many great open source projects you can check out and contribute to. People recognize proof of work in the bitcoin space, so tinkering around with things and getting in wherever you can is very helpful. Network as much as possible!

You should check out [Pleb Lab](https://www.pleblab.com/) as well.

Also, [Bolt.fun](https://bolt.fun/) is a really great way to meet people and learn more about developing on lightning.
