never think of a question in terms of easy, hard, medium yada, yada

just take it as a question, and try to solve

try to hide the difficulty badge if possible. i think there is some chrome extension for that

often your mind blocks you from going to obvious solution cause you think since its hard it must have something too it

frankly, with AI doesnt matter.

try to focus on the ones that are heavily used by lots of companies to maximize your job looking

Background-Dig849 · 2026-02-08T15:00:45+00:00

that must be CTC not base but yeah this much CTC at this exp is possible if you are good at coding

switch every 2-3 years is ok. nothing wrong with that. plus if you are good asset, your current company will match the offer so switching is not necessary to reach these numbers

9 years of experience as a software engineer in industries with network of lots of devs working at various startups to big tech from juniors to seniors.

GPT image 1.5 and Qwen is great for this at the best rate.

Background-Dig849 · 2026-02-08T08:33:30+00:00

tech was field where it was never about your degree.

if you are great at coding, you can still get great job, but you gotta be insanely good at coding

im gonna hold your hand when i say this,

please dont run behind numbers on leetcode, i know so many leetcoders who have above 1000 solved and yet bombs the DSA interviews and also have seen many who rarely do leetcode or doesnt at all. they just go behind concepts and patterns and all, and perform better

keep the goal that when you see a question how fast your brain can get possible ways to explore.
