I doubt shopee pay that much for fresher. Mostly it is because of stock appreciation, they earn that much.

Indeed, base pay is so-so. It's the stock grant that pushes up your TC

gatekeepers/hiring managers only look at university branding when you have nothing much to show, I personally think portfolio development is way more important.

Blockchain development = dead end work. At least you're getting paid a decent amount for it I guess
