🚀 Landed My First SDE Role as a Non-Circuital Branch Fresher! 🚀 Coming from a Civil Engineering background, my journey to securing an off-campus Software Development Engineer (SDE) role was anything but straightforward. During on-campus placements, I faced a significant hurdle: I wasn't allowed to sit for most SDE roles. For the few companies that did allow me, I was rejected in the HR round despite clearing all the technical rounds. Determined not to let these setbacks define my career path, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I delved deep into mastering Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA), Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), and Database Management Systems (DBMS/SQL). Every day, for two months, I diligently applied to job openings, facing at least ten rejection emails daily. It was a relentless process, but giving up was never an option. Finally, after countless applications and unwavering persistence, I got an SDE job! This journey taught me the value of resilience and self-belief. Tips for Juniors: 1. Master the Fundamentals: Focus on DSA, OOP, and DBMS/SQL, as they are critical for technical interviews. 2. Work on Projects: Ensure you have at least two major projects to demonstrate your skills. 3. Persevere: Rejections are part of the process. Keep applying and learning. 4. Be Confident: Confidence in your abilities can set you apart during interviews. Stay determined and keep pushing forward. Your efforts will pay off! #SDE #CareerJourney #CivilEngineeringToSDE #TechTransition #NeverGiveUp #TechAdvice #OffCampus

Freshers in Software Engineering ? Starting out? Here’s how to build a strong foundation: 1. Master Fundamentals: Get solid on DSA, OOP, and one language (Python, Java, or C++). 2. Hands-On Practice: Build mini-projects; share them on GitHub to showcase your skills. 3. Get to Know the Tools: Learn Git, IDEs, and the command line. 4. Problem-Solving: Practice coding regularly on LeetCode, HackerRank, etc. 5. Basics of Software Dev: Understand SDLC, Agile, and debugging. 6. Interview Prep: Mock interviews, system design basics, and STAR technique for behavioral questions. 7. Soft Skills: Communicate well, adapt, and pay attention to detail. Follow these and you’re on the path to success! #SoftwareEngineering #Freshers #Coding #TechCareers

I've started looking at a few freshers' referral requests I received lately and I wanted to make looking at profiles easier for me, so if you send me referral requests please follow this format so that I don't have to open like 30 resumes redirecting me to a thousand other places 😂 . Degree info - ex. IIITN Btech CSE 2023, x CGPA Past experience (if any) - ex. Intuit SWE intern/fte, 6 months (don't write about roles that did not involve coding) CP profile - link to your codeforces, codechef, leetcode, atcoder, etc email and mobile number - Write up for 'why should we hire this candidate' - keep it short, highlight your achievements/learnings related to computer science. Also mention why you want to work at #google This by no means is how you should ask for referrals to everyone, this is specific to me and is just meant to make things I look for in someone's resume easier because a lot of the messages I received did not add their resume, and had a huge intro write up. Also please only request for referrals when you see a job opening relevant to your experience on the career site at present AND you have not yet exhausted the job applications limit on the career site, because referrals sort of expire in a month. I do not know if any openings are there right now or not I'm simply posting this because I happened to look at my DMs yesterday, so please only ask for a referral if you see the opening you seek on the career site.

Improvement in Problem Solving : DSA 🎖️ Today is my Day 45 of the 50 Day Consistency Challenge. I have solved 2 questions of String Today. Build my own logic of both of these two problems. Problem name: 1. Defanging an IP Address --> LeetCode 1108 2. Check if string is rotated by two places --> GeeksforGeeks It's time to deep dive into the depth of String Data Structure. String is very easy topic but we have to work smartly to think the solution. In the end, Stay Motivated, Master your DSA and get stronger. 💪 #programming #coding #webdevelopment #softwaredevelopment #hiring #recruitment #job #fresher

“What's your advice for freshers targeting PBCs?” This is a question that floods my DMs regularly. ⬆️ As an SDE III at a product-based company, I would highly recommend these 3 things for people preparing for PBC interviews👇🏼 📌 Go beyond tutorials - build full-fledged projects. Planning, coding, and deploying teach you much more than following instructions. 📌 Collaborate on open-source projects. It exposes you to real-world codebases, coding standards, and version control systems. 📌 Participate in coding competitions and hackathons. They challenge you to think on your feet and develop problem-solving skills. The key is to get your hands dirty with practical coding experiences from day one. But, the journey can get tough - you may hit roadblocks or feel stuck at times. That's where you can connect with seniors for guidance at Preplaced. The first session is FREE so there’s nothing to lose: https://lnkd.in/gC2ANNJb They've been through the grind and will course-correct you when needed.

Revision of Concepts : DSA 📚 Today is my Day 42 of the 50 Day Consistency Challenge. I skipped my revision on Sunday because motivation of question solving is very high. Yesterday, I realized that something was missing. I discovered that I hadn't reviewed the concept, which is why I'm losing confidence. 🤔 So yes, Revising concepts is the most important part of the learning journey. I revisited previously solved questions to enhance my understanding and improve my logical thinking skills. 🧠 Thanks to Striver raj vikramaditya for giving us such a wonderful DSA Sheet. Just Stay Motivated. Keep Hustle Hard. 🔥 #programming #coding #hiring #webdevelopment #softwaredevelopment #recruitment #jobs #fresher
