There is this one company which came to our campus offering 10.5L CTC and literally selected 251 students at a time when even our college (tier 1) is struggling to place even 50% students and maximum hiring per company is around 10. 

When you read this company's reviews online, the reviews are like they don't pay stipend for months and ask you to sell courses irrespective of if you are a developer. In fact, they ask for money from interns for 'charity' work. 

And the best part is, everyone who gave the test got selected, without any interviews. 

I think that college knows the reality but they still allow this so that the placements stats improve (adding 250+ students at a CTC of 10L really improves the placed percentage and the average package)

A month ago, a well-known company visited one of my friend's universities for an on-campus placement drive. They set the eligibility criteria very high to filter out students. However, they conducted all 3-4 rounds online, and as tech students, we all know how easy it is to find ways to cheat in such situations. Consequently, some undeserving students got placed. Believe me, they are students who don't even know basic fundamentals and programming syntax properly.

Have heard some on-campus placements at Amazon going higher than 2 crores?

Is that true? If yes, what's the structure of this package? 

What's the business sense behind hiring freshers at such salaries?

Just trying to understand the rationale better :)

NMIMS Hyderabad asks unplaced students to “opt out” of placements. The things these B Schools will do for 100% placement!

Wow, what’s even more surprising is the reply: seems like students are actually agreeing to it.  
  
 Wonder what kind of pressure tactics they’ve used here.

A Healthcare company giving 14 lpa asks to check if string is palindrome or not. And selecting candidates. SMH.

I gave an interview for 7 lpa in a core engineering company, the interviewer asked easy medium leetcode

On campus placement sucks (most of the time)

Freshers impacted in software/product and data science profiles. Day 1 company in all colleges. Placement season is almost over everywhere and now these students are without a job just days before their joining date. No severance too unlike layoffs. 

Used to pay a lot though, 30 lakhs base salary for SDEs and 15 for product analysts after taking gruelling overnight interviews.

Heard internally there struggling a lot which is reflected in their stock price which is halved from 2021 despite a bull run in US tech companies in the same period.

Note to anyone thinking of getting into sprinkr(obviously in future cause they showing middle finger now): join only if you want to work like a donkey in exchange of lots of money.

Sprinklr revoked 150+ offers accross IITs, NITs, BITs and other tier 1 colleges.

Calm down. A person who cracked a 30 lpa offer will do well in life regardless of whether Sprinklr is a heartless corp or not. Fuck them.

There company names CSM Technology and Luminous Technology based in Odisha, they are signing bond from Engineers for 3 years and also keeping their valuable B-Tech Certificate so they they don’t leave them and join a better company.. Both have zero business model and highly dependent on Government project which they get by bribing Ciivil Servants.!

In today’s era IT companies keeping Certificate as security

I have total of 3.6 years of experience all as Data Engineer. 2.3 working at Sigmoid and 1.3 with Flipkart. I got promoted at both the organisation, means I am a high performing talent. I am getting 50L as a CTC from Flipkart, 21.5 is fixed, 2.15 is annual bonus and rest other are ESOP spreaded over 4 years. Flipkart is currently operating in hybrid model which means I had to shift to Bangalore this December.

In my new role at a startup which is acquired by Course Hero is offering 70l;
32l as fixed, 3.2l as annual bonus and rest other as RSUs spreaded over 4 years. It is work from anywhere.

Looking at the current market trend and my previous history, should I be little more greedy.

what is the scene of placements of 24 batch in your college, which companies are visiting?

Hi , this post is intended to be a disclaimer to anyone who is planning to join Yubi. A lot of things are happening here that show some signs of an impending layoff

1) Several senior folks in tech and product have quit. Also there is no replacement hiring planned for them. Several projects are also getting shelved as a result.

2) there were several open roles a few weeks back and almost all of them are on hold as of now across all depts( tech , business , ops)

3) rampant cost cutting. The lunch options have been reduced to just 1 dal , 1 veg , rice and chapati.  Snacks have been removed too.


Because of several folks quitting in less than 6 months and no replacement hiring , load has increased tremendously on existing members who are themselves trying to leave. 

People have serious doubts on whether any hike or bonus will be given or not this year.

Rampant negativity at Yubi

Just got to know recently that a tier 1 mba college didn’t conduct interviews as part of their admission process during covid. Just CAT scores sufficed. 

In addition to this, post admission, these batches didn’t have proctored exams, they could collaborate and solve the exams together and then submit their answers online. 

Please do reply if this was very common during Covid across other colleges and any other such crazy lapses across colleges.

Dark secrets about premier colleges

In another college, there is no resume vetting and people can and do add a lot of BS "achievements". 
 This is also the college with the largest intake and almost every second person has something like a director's merit list or an honors' list or they are a 'torchbearer'.

I got scammed by one of the leading corporate giants of Bangalore! I’m from IIM Bangalore, I cracked an offer from Agnity.. placement round me itni life changing baatein ki thi board of management ne ki mujhe laga ab toh college se nikalke seedha life set hai! Ghar gadi sabke sapne dekh liye they, it’s been three months now and idhar data entry ke alawa kuch nahi kara rahe merese.. a few of my friends who got selected for other companies are facing the same! I don’t understand jab hume as subordinates hi use karna hai toh campus placements rakhne ka point hi kya hai?

Campus placement rounds are the biggest scams!

Recently set out to hire interns and had a really strange experience

Went through about 170 CVs. Most were shabbily formatted - which is okay, I understand most people aren’t that serious in college.

But then after shortlisting and setting up interviews:
- Multiple kids just did not show up for the interview. They did not even write a mail excusing themselves. Or reply to any mail from me about them missing the call.

- Some of them literally turned up for the call on their phone. They’re mostly well to do, and definitely have laptops. But just casual. 

- This reduced my selection pool to literally 8-9 interns from 180. Of these too, generally saw most of them had too much overconfidence and arrogance about them. Barely went into the depth of the answers, and would over-portray their contribution in past projects/internships, without being able to explain what they really did

I am genuinely shocked and taken aback. These were all Tier 1 college kids, and I just did not expect it to be so bad. A shock for me, and a future shock for many of these kids when they get into the workforce!

College kids have a reality shock waiting for them

Come to Tier 3 colleges, they are very humble and hardworking 😊

Recently, I was talking with one of my friend who shared this interesting thing with me. He has seen few of his juniors(from CS background ) struggling to clear campus placement tests. Majority of them fail during the coding round and a few in aptitude. Cheating is quite common during campus placements is what he shared. He has also seen non CS/ECE/IT background folks pulling some tricks during this time and are somehow able to clear the test. No idea how they do it without getting caught. But the biggest question I had was, how are CS folks not aware of such thing? and what are those tricks/methods/art they let's you do it so smoothly???
