1) Networking: While I don't plan to do much home networking, knowing fundamentals would be helpful to my day to day. So I'm going to go through Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach (https://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/index.php) and augment it with CS 144 (https://www.scs.stanford.edu/10au-cs144/).

2) SQL: As another user mentioned, while I am primarily a FE, there are times when I need to work on the backend and having a shaky understanding of SQL can be a major stumbling block. I might start a bookclub in my city or at work just to ensure I'm consistent with learning.

3) C++/Rust: Will probably do a basic project and may hire a code mentor to do some code reviews/guidance.

Online practice on Stratascratch is good for SQL (SQLbolt and SQLzoo for the basics) ... Pavlo, Widom, Date for CS of database systems.

What platform do you use to hire code mentors? I would be grateful if you shared any past experiences with them.
