With LLMs as a teacher, I have been making steady progress in how systems work and how databases work. I am also gaining experience with C++ and Rust. (I can't just code from memory yet, and have to refer to Google for the syntax and then LLMs to learn a better way).

Now, coming to switching domains, I am not sure how to go about applying to DB companies. Would it be weird to apply for an internship, given I am as good as a recent graduate when it comes to systems programming? Or, are there better ways to go about making this happen?

How would you go about - changing domain + getting a job in the domain? (for me, the domain is database development, but I am open to reading suggestions from anyone who has changed domains in recent times, given, with the LLMs, having experience is becoming more important).
