"Career Acceleration & Backend Engineering Deep Dive"

For professionals already in the industry looking to level up. Whether you're stuck at a career plateau, exploring a switch into backend/distributed systems, or trying to move from SDE-1 to SDE-2 and beyond — this session is for you.

We'll talk about:

• Navigating internal promotions and performance reviews (I went SE → SDE II in ~13 months)
• Backend architecture decisions — when to use Kafka vs RabbitMQ, microservices vs monoliths, Java/Spring Boot best practices
• Integrating AI/LLM capabilities into existing systems
• Negotiating your next role or transition (switching companies, domains, or tech stacks)
• Real talk on scaling systems and leading technical decisions

This isn't textbook advice — it's from someone actively building and shipping in production, on real distributed systems at scale.
