2025 grad (Tier-3 college, 9.2 CGPA, 4 LPA job) – Can I realistically switch to 15+ LPA in 6 months?

Hey folks, I'm a 2025 CS grad from a tier-3 college with a 9.2 CGPA. Currently working at a startup earning 4 LPA. The work isn’t too challenging, so I’ve been using my time to focus on DSA (Leetcode, etc.) for 3–4 hours a day.

I’ve set a target of switching jobs within the next 6 months and aiming for a 15+ LPA package (product-based companies, SDE roles). I'm okay with grinding and also planning to start system design + CS fundamentals revision soon.

Is this a realistic goal within 6 months given my profile and current prep? Or should I start considering a master’s (like MS in Germany) if I don't hit my goal?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in a similar boat or made a similar leap.

Thanks!
