Good Learning Platforms

I recently finished a graduate level software testing class (they didn’t have a testing class when I was getting my CS degree). So I’m trying to find other resources to help me land a tech job again.
I have some Udemy courses, I’ve tried Codecademy in the past, and my academic advisor suggested Coursera. All I know is I cannot afford another college class.
What are your recommendations?

Honestly man since you already got a CS degree I wouldn’t waste time on random Udemy stuff, it’s not gonna add much. I’d look at Test Automation U (free and actually solid for QA tools like Selenium, Cypress, API testing). You already have LinkedIn Learning through work so might as well grab a couple certs there too just to make your profile look fresh. Codecademy, nice for hands-on if you want to quickly practice coding tasks, but it’s more beginner-focused. Might be better for strengthening weak spots. CourseCareers, If you’re looking more at job outcomes rather than just learning for the sake of it, they’ve got role-specific tracks (IT, sofwaare dev, fronttend, backend, devops etc). The difference here is they combine skills training with resume/job prep, which can help bridge that “I studied but can’t land interviews

Ya I think you should build in public, connect to startup founders thru twitter(x) and try to display your skill and offer them a 30 day trial working period or even do that in person at local companies. Then bust your ass, ask questions but don't be dependent and see what you can do. Everyone is trying to cheat the system instead of side step the system. Things like 'interview coder' now named Cluely, it's a way to cheat during remote technical interviews. Then the machine learning routing of resumes that auto drop your cv if you are missing key 'stats.' It's tough but soooo many people are anti social and will make a graph of submitting 1000 applications and cv's when they haven't reached out to anyone. If you are desperate maybe try to get ahold of a recruiter/coach?

Take a look at Hyperskill- 100% project based learning, hands down the best platform I’ve used for learning new languages 👍

No amount of videos and text will teach you something if you don't put it in practice. The main programmer soft skills has always been related to creativity and looking for solutions on your own.
So start actually making something you want or use one of those images with lists of programming challenges and choose one at random and actually start making something.
The complementary learning will come from reading other people's code and documentation.
