This is really inspiring, thanks for having Kevin sharing his story with us. I wonder if he's willing to share the link to the blog of the Staff engineer with good System Design answers mentioned in the post as well.
Devs got smart and played the market. I had 58k last year. This year, 80k. Just by job hopping. I even got a better salary after a 5 months trial period with a company I disliked. Recruiters take your last salary as a base for your next job. It doesn't matter to them why and in how much time you've quit, if you have a plausible story. Just be sure that you don't out sell yourself, that you can still deliver what you've promised.
It would be great if you can share you prep resources as well both for leetcode, system design and behaviour prerp.

Thanks to Kevin for sharing his story. I’m not an engineer but this is relevant and relatable job search information no matter your expertise.
