Software Engineer with 0.9 YoE: Seek Growth Beyond Current Startup

A Software Development Engineer with almost a year of experience at a startup, actively seeking new opportunities, has a good chance for career advancement. While the tenure at the current startup (if only 1 month as implied by 'past month') might be a red flag, if the '0.9 YoE' refers to total experience, this is a good time to explore roles offering better compensation, more structured growth, or different technologies. Focus on quantifying achievements from the current role, showcasing specific projects and technical skills, and thoroughly preparing for technical interviews (data structures, algorithms, system design).
