TF: Concrete subfloor leveling issue

Hi -

I ripped up laminate flooring on a concrete subfloor. It was my first DIY project and instead of using mortar to even out any glue that was stuck on or sand off, I used a thin layer of self leveler. I mixed it correctly but for some reason still wasn’t level so I tried grinding it with an angle grinder attachment. Made it worse. Poured again. Also made it worse.

I ripped out the existing vanity as seen in the image and there’s now 1/4 inch from vanity bottom to new subfloor with concrete.

My question is:

If I try to fix one last time, should I try to sand down to Original subfloor and hopefully attach whatever I’m using to a shop vac for dust?

Do I do another pour to level up to the 1/4 inch and sand the existing pours down a bit then pour again?

Even with a laser level it’s very hard to tell where slight dips or rigids are so it’s almost impossible for me to sand my hand down to flat,

Other option… should I just hire someone for this? And how much do you think it would cost? (Trying to save $)

Glue speaking best way to deal with glue is to grind it off using a cup grinder and not covering the glue with several layers of self-leveling.
It is hard to level anything using self-leveling, unless you are good at it, even then it is not an accurate thing.

I would remove the self-leveling compound and grind off the glue
