Most engineers stumble through their first 2-3 years because no one tells them how to position themselves for the roles they actually want. This call fixes that.

Who this is for:

• College students aiming for an SDE offer at a real product/infra company

• Service-company engineers trying to break into product or distributed-systems teams

• Junior devs unsure how to specialize — backend? infra? AI? distributed systems?

• People grinding LeetCode for months with nothing to show on the resume

In 30 minutes we'll cover:

• Where you are today and where you want to be in 6-12 months

• A week-by-week prep roadmap — DSA, low-level + system design, projects that signal depth

• Which companies actually fit your profile (and how to skip the ones that don't)

• Resume + LinkedIn quick wins to get more recruiter callbacks

• How to build a niche — distributed systems / backend infra / AI — instead of being a generic SWE

Why me: Software Engineer at SingleStore working on real distributed systems — zero-downtime deploys, multi-tenant infra, observability at scale — in production for 500+ enterprise customers. Previously built LLM streaming + DAG orchestration at Convai, interned at Upstox on payments infra. NIT Silchar, 9.16 GPA.

Come with your resume and 2-3 questions. You'll leave with a concrete, no-fluff plan.
