Lookback: 1 year after graduation

Feeling stuck in L1 grunt work despite CS degree

Spending days on L1 tasks instead of building/automating things

What I wish I knew
"Research industry requirements more thoroughly before graduation"
If I could tell you one thing
"Highlight transferable skills and focus on engineering/automation wins on resume"
