I’m currently trying to switch jobs and feeling a bit stuck, so I wanted to hear from people who’ve recently made a successful move.
If you switched in the last 6 months, it would be super helpful if you could share:

• What role you switched from and which role you switched to
• Your tech stack
• How you prepared (DSA, projects, system design, etc.)
• What actually made the difference (you knew a guy who knew a guy, resume etc.)
• How long it took you
• Any mistakes you made or things you’d do differently

I feel like a lot of advice online is too generic, so real, recent experiences would help a lot, this will help not just me but others also trying to switch right now.

Even short answers are appreciated.
