What do i do?

Hi guys,

I have just finished college (the uk one, not university) and was wondering what to do to land a SWE job/internship. I am not planning on going to university at the moment so im restricted by that. I have sat in programming for over 5 years already and have solid foundations in software (all from self learning). I just want to know, what languages should i learn, what tools i should learn, what theories i should learn to best help me land a position. Im also curious on what people think about learning java and spring boot, as it seems to be quite popular with many big tech companies, would learning it increase my chances? Im currently working with C++ (for "low level" projects) and Go (for backend systems).

I guess my main point of concers are, is it possible to land a SWE job/internship without a degree? And what can i do to help me look more desirable to companies?

Any information helps. Many thanks everyone :)
