Stop doing ONLY DSA

yes. you read that right. you don't have to mindlessly rote learn DSA every day to get a good high paying job. you just need to be ahead of the curve.

you must be thinking "then what should i do?" make some real world projects. start simple. make a normal website using HTML, CSS and JS. then explore some frameworks. contribute to open source. look around and see if any of the existing websites that you use need new features that you can implement.

there are a lot of new tools coming out everyday that make us developer jobs easier. for example, AI code editors like cursor and windsurf. you don't need to write code from scratch using these. you just need to have a good enough idea and debugging skills.

be regularly updated on what's happening in the tech scene. some people in college don't even know what claude is or how to use cursor. make use of the new AI tools that get released everyday. the entire world is on an AI hypetrain right know. take advantage of it. you can easily start some AI related startups if you're into that side of business. or track the startups who are getting investor funding every week and go to their careers page. you'll see high paying jobs with very minimal competition.

if you were smart, you would've figured this out by now but still it's not late. cheers and all the best!
