Suggestion for fresher

Hi everyone , I graduated this year in May from an IIT but from an earth science branch . I have around 1 year of experience as an intern in different companies, including as a Japanese AI company . In college, I have a very low GPA ( < 6.5), so on campus was practically impossible ( I did get an offer :) ) .In my final semester, I worked at a service based company based out of Germany as an intern, which hired indian devs ( you know why ).

So, I got an offer from them around 20 LPA( all base) remote. Culture is good, no micromanagement or odd working hours, and people are helpful. I work around 45 hours per week .But They have fried 4 dev in the last 3 months citing 'lack of ownership'. I tried to get an offer from other companies but couldn't find much success due to market conditions and branch .I have been working for around 5 months, managing a social app in react native and expo that was created when I was intern . I code and handle other tasks like creating tickets, scoping requirements, and reviewing intern code. I also work on Backend, Database, and a react based web app, too sometimes.

I have a feeling that as the product is mvp, I am not working on scale, and nobody cares about optimization for all large scales or complex devops,design patterns, or even basic caching . Instead, we really on managed services like codebuild or fargate, which I do handle most of the time

I will ask for suggestions from experienced folks that what should I do in this case should I actively try for new role or put effort in my job. ( Company is encouraging new dev to learn new stuff different from the regular job , for me, it's caching for this quarter )

Thanks for your time

How big is your current company and how much runway they have? If you are still building mvp I believe this is very early age startup which can be risky in current macroeconomic conditions. I would advise you to keep looking because your current company doesn't look very stable.

Also, taking an earth science branch in IIT wasn't a good move because that degree has little scope. It wouldn't provide anything else apart from the IIT tag.

The company has some 25 employees, but I'm not sure about the runway . I do have the option to join CS/ECE in BITS and some NIT, but parents were obsessed with IIT, so here I am
I am applying to multiple companies, but no response at all
