Does CGPA really matter when I'll have to switch to a better company ?

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?

Got it so basically , CGPA won't matter after your first job no matter which company you aim for, right?

Beyond 60-65, it just doesn’t matter. May be if it is below 60, then for first few years it still may get noticed. But beyond 65%, nobody cares if you have got 85, or 70.
