How do I become a junior software developer?

You can become a junior software developer by earning a bachelor's degree and having programming experience, as well as a good understanding of operating systems and databases.

At the junior level, typically an entry-level position, you don't need to be an expert already with years of experience. However, it would be important to build your foundations and some basic skills already through schooling. Employers usually require a bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, and information technology. Having just an associate's degree may suffice if you have relevant experience to compensate for the lack of a bachelor's degree.
