How far am I to get a software developer/DevOpt internship or job?

I am currently a master student studying IT in Australia, I switched my career from Retail to IT just because I can see myself with curiosity to know and learn coding. During the study, I set a goal to be a software engineer or a DevOpt engineer. I am now at my second last semester before graduate, I studied Front-end development myself before starting the master, and I kept working on self project to practice the knowledge I've leant in school, like building web application (here is one of them: https://www.freelancer-daily-scheduler.site/) using AWS cloud services. However, I always feel like I still have a lot to learn until I can get an intern/job. Sometime I even saw people spending a long time on Leetcode, and I have a feeling like no matter how much hard work I inputed, I am still far from only passing the job interview, and I am not even sure if I can perform better then other students who studied programming since their bachelor. Really need someone to share advice on this.

What are your predictions for the future of the IT industry? Do you think that I am preparing well enough?

Hi everyone, this is my first post on CareerVillage.org. First, some background about me. I’m currently a freshman in high school (about to finish the year) and I’m working hard to prepare for a future career as a software engineer. I’ve been self-studying computer science outside of school, and I first started with Harvard’s CS50 and got through the first three weeks, then pivoted to The Odin Project, another CS course, because I wanted to focus more on web development. I’ll finish The Odin Project fundamentals before June, and I plan to complete the Full Stack JavaScript path within 4–6 months. After that, I want to spend around 3 months learning backend development with either Node.js or Python. By that point, I’ll be midway through my sophomore year and hopefully I’ll start building projects and apps that are able to make an impact. Now onto the topic of AI. I’ve watched countless Youtube videos about how AI will impact the software engineering industry right now. The general consensus now seems to be that AI won’t replace developers entirely, but knowing how to utilize AI is a must. I have two questions that I hope people will put the time in to answer: Right now, AI will not make software engineers go extinct. But I will graduate in 2032. I know it’s super hard to know what will happen in seven years, but that’s why I’m asking for your guy’s predictions. Now the more important question. If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Would you continue on the path that I’m already on, or will you take a different route? If so, what would you suggest? Thanks in advance for any advice that you can share.
