I don’t know much about your situation and your specific skills, but one way to get experience in many CS jobs is doing work on a FOSS project or starting your own. At least it would help keeping your skills sharp and updated. But i know that this takes a lot of effort and it’s unpaid work, which might not be possible if you actually have to do something to pay the rent.
I’ve considered developing my own FOSS application. If I were to ever do one, it would be focused on being something that Linux Mobile or Ubuntu Touch doesn’t already have since they don’t have much support yet. Thought about making some kind of Linux application in general, but any idea I came up with either has already been or definitely couldn’t be maintained long term by just one person.
I do work full time already, but switching from Android to either Droidian or Ubuntu Touch after the great lockdown will probably make me want to make the experience on them better anyway. So yeah, definitely been throwing around the idea of getting involved in the FOSS community, but don’t want to contribute to an already existing project since I’m not THAT confident in my programming skills just yet.
