6 Steps To Get High Paying Job:-
Step 1: Create an Excel Sheet for Planning
- Allocate Months: Divide the preparation period into months.
- Columns for Time Division: Create columns for Time Spent, Topics, Links, Deadlines, Revision Schedule, etc.
- Routine Planning: Allocate time for study, revision, and practice per topic.
- Track Progress: Use the sheet to log completed topics and time spent.
Step 2:Start with Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA)
List Important Topics:
📍Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues
📍Trees, Graphs, Hashing, Sorting & Searching
📍 Dynamic Programming , Greedy Algorithms, Backtracking, etc.
Reference Material:
📍Leetcode for practice problems.
📍GeeksforGeeks (GFG) for explanations and tutorials
📍Relevant YouTube channels or books (e.g., “Cracking the Coding Interview”).
✅ Set Deadlines: Allocate time for each topic based on difficulties.
Step 3: Focus on System Design
Low-Level Design (LLD)
🚩Focus on design patterns (Singleton, Factory, Observer, etc.).
🚩Study Object-Oriented Design principles (SOLID).
🚩Practice designing real-world systems (e.g., BookMyShow, Parking Lot, etc.).
🚩Refer to materials like “Designing Data- Intensive Applications” or “Head First Design Patterns”.
Step 4: Focus on System Design
High-Level Design (HLD)
👉Understand scalable system architecture (Microservices, Monolithic).
👉Learn about distributed systems (Databases, Load Balancers, Caching).
👉Study real-world system design examples (e.g., URL Shortener, Instagram, etc.).
👉Refer to GFG, System Design Primer, or YouTube tutorials on system design.
Step 5: Build Resume
✨Highlight relevant experience (including projects and system design).
✨Include key skills like DSA, LLD, HLD, tech stack.
✨Keep it concise, ideally one page.
✨Include metrics for impact (e.g., reduced latency by X%, handled X number of requests per second).
✨Use strong action verbs (developed, led, improved, optimized).
Step 6:Ask for Referrals
📌Leverage Linkedin and personal networks for referral opportunities.
📌Reach out to recruiters and employees of target companies.
📌Personalize referral requests, be polite, and provide resume upfront.
