I saw my batchmate go from HCL (5.5 LPA) ⇾ Google (30+ LPA)
I saw my friend go from Wipro (4 LPA) ⇾ Salesforce (20 LPA+)

All because they focused on DSA and System Design.

During my System Design round at Walmart, I used Redis.
At Oracle, I used PostgreSQL Sharding.
At Deloitte, I used Microservices with API Gateway.

Funny thing? Even though the systems were different, 80% of the questions came from just 20% of topics.

So I built something that fixes this.
