Legacy dev to modern stack: Upskill, LeetCode, and target roles.

The user is an experienced software engineer (6 YOE) stuck in a legacy tech stack, feeling stagnant despite a good salary. They want to move to a modern stack for growth. The path involves dedicated upskilling in modern technologies (e.g., React, Go, cloud platforms, microservices) and rigorous preparation for technical interviews, specifically LeetCode and system design. While personal projects are secondary to work experience, focused learning on modern stacks and applying this knowledge to acquire a new role is crucial. This transition will open doors to more challenging and potentially higher-paying roles in leading tech companies.
