Find someone (online) that can guide you. Make sure you do all the work though, and just let the senior put you KB the right track and only help you with things you're really stuck at. That's one way to get the experience you really need
How do you go about finding the mentor sort of person? I've never been able to develop a relationship like that online.
Discord channels can also be useful for that
One way is LinkedIn, another would be to ask for a mentor in a small online community where everyone have a shared interest. I think the most safe bet however is to do this through the people you already know, they might know someone who knows someone who could take on the role of a mentor.
