Since you seem to be based in Stockholm, I suggest you sign up for a dev talent program in Stockholm. You get trained by a reputable tech company and if you pass the talent program, you get sent to further training to a potential future employer. My team (in Stockholm) is getting a new potentially permanent member in a month or so. The person switched their careers (age 30+) and I, amongst others will be training them to work with our codebase. If they perform well, they will be recommended for a permanent position.

Example: https://www.knowit.se/karriar/trainee/

There are at least 5 such programs.

While you are applying and waiting, I also recommend to pick a tech stack that is attractive for employers in Stockholm.

TypeScript, react, net core web api (c#) and MSSQL are the only tools you need to master in order to become very attractive to all major employers here. Start learning these and publish your learning project on GitHub and you will be well on your way. Heck, when you are done building your asp.net core webapi+typescript react frontend project (a basic todo app, something that demonstrates CRUD (create, read, update and delete), contact me and I will get you an interview.

Thank you, just seeing the stack you recommended has given me a bit of direction. I will set out to learn the basics of these tools. I'll be in touch!
