SDE Skill Upgrade: Elevating Base Salary from 20LPA to 26LPA+ with 2 Years Experience?

So hello Everyone , A short intro , i am a 2023 grad , fumbled a 32 lpa SDE job in last round in college placement . I was among the last 2 out of 500 students and the other guy got selected or you can say i run out of luck.🙂 This left a scar ,guilt and trauma, however got placed as a cloud engineer during last week of my college. I always wanted to do development and create stuffs . My current role is more of a support so now I want to switch . Yoe :1 year 2 months Salary:9 lpa (7.5 base) Fully remote i had solved around 220+ questions on leetcode and had a good grip on DSA but it’s been a year since i solved any questions there. So now i will again start coding and solving leetcode from STRIVER A to Z dsa course and working on harkirat 0-100 development projects. I aim to make myself interview ready at the end of week 5 while keeping my current job and then look for interviews during my notice period. I am ready to take a leap of faith and grind hard . I will keep updating on every Sunday about number of questions and development projects i worked on . Hope it motivates you all to improve and get better at life . I am going to use this sub to record my weekly improvements . I am open to any suggestions by my people here . Wish me luck ✨
