Wow what have u learnt so far

While the bulk of this convo is on SWE, CS grads also have local data science opportunities at OP's target pay range.

I'm a male comp sci fresh grad with second upper and a couple of relevant internships in data science. Got into a data science role at a GLC when I graduated in 2020 with 5.5k basic monthly starting salary.

Leetcode is for muggers. That's why quite a lot of students prefer it as mugging is their strength. My assessment consists mainly of take-home assignments and panel interviews to discuss my solution.

I feel that my work is meaningful and impactful too -- not some glorified advertising agency. I start and leave work on the dot and never had to OT or touch weekends before.

Backend. I think the key is to negotiate. Shopee is willing to pay if they really want you

Not sure why all the developer are so happy with their 7k.. When they have to work like slave while other positions are easier and more rewarding
