Goal shift (2026-10-01): user asked to target remote roles, 40 LPA floor, easiest loops first, prepare during Oct, apply from Nov 1, 2026. Supersedes the in-office-heavy order in [[30 Company Target List]] for the November push (that list remains as a fallback).
Plan
- Oct 1–31: 31-day crash course — 4h weekdays / 8h weekends. Tracks: DSA (75 problems, revision-heavy on arrays→trees, new time on graphs + DP), LLD/machine coding, HLD (12 problems), AI prep (fundamentals, RAG, agents/MCP, production/evals, AI system design, AI coding tasks), take-home + code-review + concurrency drills, 6 STAR stories, 5 mocks.
- Oct 26–31: launch week — resume, LinkedIn, 40 live postings, referral DMs.
- Nov onward: 12–15 apps/week, Wave 1 → Wave 2 → Wave 3.
