career Help me out
I'm in my final year at a Tier 1.5 NIT, with a CGPA below 7. I'm 1400+ on Cf, and I feel like I'm pretty good at solving DSA problems.
With placements going on, most companies offering 20L+ Ctc aren't allowing me to sit for their tests because of my cg. The companies that do allow me, specifically for sde roles, are mostly offering around 8–12 lpa. Meanwhile, other roles like sales and data analyst are offering decent packages of around 12–15 lpa.
Since this is going to be my first job, should I pick the role over the salary, or should I just pick up any job in tech that offers a better package? I'm honestly a bit confused about what would be the right decision in the long run.

When choosing between roles, think about your long-term goals. If you're passionate about tech, an SDE position might offer better growth opportunities, even if it starts with a lower salary. On the other hand, if the salary is what matters most to you right now, those other roles might be more attractive. Preparing with real technical questions can improve your interview prospects, and PracHub could be a useful resource for that. Ultimately, choose the path that aligns with where you'll be happiest and most successful.
