Grinding DSA won’t get you through senior roles

Hello,

A lot of strong engineers grind DSA for months and still miss senior offers.

From what I’ve seen working at LinkedIn, Meta, Amazon, SAP, Salesforce, and Tesla, senior interviews don’t reward more grinding. They reward judgment, trade-offs, design clarity, and how well you communicate impact.

That gap is why I’m running a 5-week live cohort to help mid-level engineers break into senior roles that pay 50L+ CTC.

Here’s how the 5 weeks are structured through live sessions:

Gap analysis to identify exactly what’s holding you back
DSA with intent (what to practice, what to skip)
A clear LLD roadmap instead of endless practice
System design frameworks to practice real interview scenarios
Resume + LinkedIn rewrites that get Tier-1 calls
Job hunt strategy: networking + referrals (not random applying)
Behavioral storytelling for senior loops

I’ll teach this live with a small group, plus you’ll get a 1:1 in the final week to refine your plan.

I’m offering a heavy early-bird discount in association with TopMate for those who apply today. Register your spot now to receive a callback shortly:
