50+ Resources & Opportunities in Tech 
Tags: beginners, productivity, computerscience, codenewbie
Published: 2021-04-14 07:22:13

The year 2020 had been a roller coaster ride probably for all of us. 
I spent a lot of time cooped up in my home. Though this was the time when I discovered an ample amount of resources and opportunities that are available in the tech industry. 
I have compiled a list of resources which includes **cheatsheets**, **roadmaps**, **interview preparation resources**, **design resources**, etc.

It also has a collection of **opportunities** that are available in tech. 

While most of the opportunities would be useful for student developers, the resources are for all.
 
Also, I've open-sourced the repository. I would love to have contributors! <br>
