I recently got placed as an SDE through on campus placements drive and am currently in my 7th sem.
Degree - Btech
Branch - CSE
CGPA - 8.5+
Sem - 7th
My joining is from next year.
I have some time before joining which I really want to give to development and some other skills .
I don't really want to waste any more time on academics as it hasn't helped at all ( apart from interview shortlisting due to good CGPA ).
Will CGPA matter at all when I'll have to switch to a better company? If yes, should I focus on academics and improve my CGPA?
Most of you are much more experienced than me so would want to know your take on this?
