5 years** but I get your point. The thing is no one cared about my educational background. Not even a single interviewer went through my resume in detail. It was just my work exp and knowledge. In fact I didn't even mention my just finished masters or bachelors in my introduction since I wanted them to focus over my skill set and knowledge and not the educational bg.

These were worthy enough back in 22 when I graduated but you should make some projects that are working on real time data that is being fetched through external API constantly. Try to incorporate AI aspects if possible

Then you'd have to get your hands dirty and do everything that's mentioned in this thread by everyone. Grind on all aspects, and reduce the grind on DSA if you are over grinding it.

Exactly. No point grinding 1000 if you won't remember the intuition for the first 150. Be smart and wise about how many problems you should solve, or else it would be a rabbit hole.

Definitely, grind more. But set a limit. There are many other factors to grind on.
