So, I&#x27;m asking a rather open-ended question about getting my next web development job.<p>Background: I&#x27;m a mostly self-taught developer with  some formal training in CS. I try to be as full-stack as I can be, but I&#x27;ve tried to focus mostly on JavaScript &amp; Node.js. I&#x27;m currently in the process of looking for a new work situation, and I&#x27;m hoping to get as much good advice&#x2F;info on how I can best distinguish myself, handle the interview questions, etc.<p>I&#x27;ve started by getting all the books I can and reading through them — Intro to Algorithms (CLRS) and similar — as well as coding as much as I can and implementing as many algorithms&#x2F;data structures as I can.<p>Question: So, as a web developer with a little over 2 years of experience and no seriously formal background in CS, what can I do to best distinguish myself from the competition?<p>Thanks!<p>Disclaimer: my company is in the process of transitioning its overall structure and needs, so the development team I&#x27;m on is   being sunsetted — they&#x27;re well aware I&#x27;m looking, etc.
