Microsoft software engineer Aditya Jamwal’s career journey highlights why skills, interview preparation and persistence can matter alongside CGPA. His example contrasts a 9.2 CGPA student earning 6 LPA with a 6.8 CGPA student securing 32 LPA. Jamwal also shared how he applied to 80+ Microsoft roles, received only four responses, but converted two interviews into offers. His mantra of not giving up, combined with DSA, system design, projects and AI skills, offers a practical lesson for engineering students.
