Should I apply to entry or mid level roles?
I have 3 YOE at F500s, roughly 1 year at each. I hopped companies the first two years because they were contract roles through a firm. Am now a FTE at MasterCard
1 year as a backend dev working w data pipelines
1 year as a full stack dev
1 year as a devops engineer (current)
I do not have a college degree.
All 3 of the roles Iโve worked have been quite different and as a result I feel like a jack of all trades and master of none. Want to break into an S-tier company not just for higher TC but I feel like once I have it on my resume I can stop worrying about not having a degree.
Should I exclusively apply to L4/SDE2 roles and just hope I donโt get downleveled? Iโm a diligent leetcoder but just started sys design prep last week and have been feeling discouraged.
