“Want to become a strong engineer, not just crack interviews”

Realized salary alone is not enough, want to build strong engineering skills and have ownership

What I wish I knew
"More about startup culture and how to find good startups"
If I could tell you one thing
"Focus on building strong engineering skills, explore different technologies, and network with smart people"
