Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Iam currently studying in a second year engineering software domain, I have a question that is how much internship a person as a fresher needs to do to bring a proper weightage to his/ her resume during placements specially during times such as recession and high competitions, recommend some free internships if possible, also what are the major skills that the company look before hiring?

Need advice as a fresher...

I am currently in my third year studying computer science and I am confused about what to do next. Here are some quick points about my profile:

- Strong GitHub profile
- Part of Google's summer of code 2023
- Built some interesting projects (tech stack: typescript, postgres, redis)
- I have studied a fair bit of High Level Design (System Design)
- I have a decent leetcode profile (500 questions mostly medium and Hard) (1800 contest rating)
- I also have strong CS fundamentals (DBMS, oop, CN)

I am currently getting interviews from startups but they want 6 month interns and I cannot do such a long internship right now with college. I am only available for a 2 month summer intern (which most startups don't want). I am from a Tier 2 college and we do have some good companies come for placements but I'm not sure about the scenario for next year.

Any tips or advice on what I should focus on? how I should prepare? what kind of companies I should target? 

Your experience and insights will be of tremendous help for me

Hey Folks,
I am a final year BMS grad from DU with over 14 months of internship experience at various startup’s as a generalist intern.

I am out looking for a job but every startup needs immediate joining whereas I have 3 months of college left and I see no point in interning anymore.

How should I spend the next 3 months so that I can get an offer easily when I pass out ? 

Also : Open to interviewing 😛

Which way to go, how to explore different CS fields,  basically how should one get serious from their 3rd year onwards for better than good placements?

I'm from a tier 3 college and can't get my hands on good projects or cool teams to work with. My peers are bookworms and have no practical knowledge, I feel completely directionless atm🫠. Anyine know where I could look/ what I could do?

No opportunities :(

Product Designer

many of my male batchmates with similar coding skills got internship opportunity at top companies like Google, Sprinkler, GS, etc. And i wasn't able to crack even the coding round. later I got to know about everyone was involved in cheating during online coding test forming groups and giving it together. what should I do now, should i consider taking any small internship at some random startup for the sake of filling the experience section of my resume? I will be having placement season after 6 months around september. someone guide me what should i focus more these many days. I am from tier 1 college and around 1500 rated on codeforces and done some good projects in mobile developement.

internship/ placement dilemma 😔

I am a final year student and will be graduating in may and I am now confused because I have been doing internships now for more than a year, first internship was of 6 months as an backend developer and now second internship is still going on and this March 3 I will complete 8 months here as an ML Intern, and now my current company which is a startup has told that they will think about my PPO when they will raise series A in April may and they have hired many senior engineers and have expanded the than to size of 40 and now I have got an another intern position at an YC startup, so what should I do, should I join there as an intern considering the stipend is same which is ₹45k  per month and it is also remote but the problem is I will be graduating and I don't have a full time offer, I do have skills but still not having an full time offer bugs me, what should I do please? give some advice.

Need Advice, I am confused.

What do you all think about my resume?

Hey everyone, My first post in Grapevine

I will be finishing my 2nd yr(T2 ECE), and want to do an internship. 
I know only very basic concepts of python, Java, oops dsa and in ML/data science (all youtube)

Can you tell what is actually done throughout an internship,
ie do they give you small tasks like writing a function (similar to the problem stmts from codechef/hacker rank) 
or you get to shadow them while they're working 
or they assume u already know the stuff and make you part of team that develops a fully fledged backend application 
or even worse they ask you to develop some basic website or ask u to create a model with demo datasets?
 
Now if I were to apply for internships at some good companies or startups, pls suggest what and how should I prepare for it?
What and all should I expect them to ask me?

Also please do drop in your first internship experiences.

PS: Im not interested in virtual internships, and I want to get into the field of ML.
Tl;dr: Explain how internships work

Can anyone explain the economics of Internships?

So I have been interning at Accolite Digital as an Swe. I got the opportunity via oncampus drive. They offered a 6 month internship+ FTE(8 lpa CTC and 3 lpa as retention bonus). After 4 months of internship they randomly terminated internships of 10 interns stating their performance was inadequate which was complete bullshit as I knew those interns worked really hard. Later the HR told us that they have reduced the retention bonus from 3 lpa to 2 lpa without having any discussion with us. After 6 months of internship they again forced around 20-30 interns to hand over their resignation as they have found better opportunity but the reality was that they didn't have projects to allot to them and didn't want to display it as layoffs. After all this shitholery they gave the rest of us an extension of 2 months till 15th of October and today they told us that they have further extended our internship till December. During this period of time I worked my ass off for this shit organisation and worked late at night to connect with the client. They only paid us 20k as an internship stipend and expected us to be present at the office all 5 days a week. The worst thing is that I initially had 5 job offers in hand and I had to reject them all to accept this one. They also have 1 year of bond which they won't wave off. I am literally shattered and actively looking for better job opportunities as a SWE fresher with 8 months of internship experience. I would beg the community to please like this post as much as they can so that someone who is actively hiring who could see this. Also if any of u guys have any openings at ur firm please do consider me!!

I was graduated in August of '22. I was placed in 3 companies during the campus placement drive, out of which one is an MNC and the other two are, let's say pretty famous in India.  But due to bad decision making and other factors I decided to go with the MNC. It's been a while now yet there is no information from the company. The last mail I received was in the month of November, which is why I am afraid now. Are there any internships or job openings I can apply for?

I'm an non IT candidate with decent skills in programming. Are there any courses I can do meanwhile?

Thanks in advance.

What to do?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Forgive me my Sins

In 2017, after graduating, I joined a big IT corporate as an Associate Consultant (Engineer). My start date was delayed by six months, and four months in, I was benched with half my already very low pay.

Money was tight with rent and other expenses. My family expected me to start investing in jewellery and buying land.

I was new to Bangalore and wanted more money to visit bars and expensive restaurants every weekend. Wanted to buy a bike with good gear. Along the dream to have a girl riding behind me. Sab Aukat ke bahar.

As one does, I started looking out into startups. The problem - 0 relevant work ex.

So here it goes,
I had interned at a startup in college and knew what their documents looked like. Filled the 6 empty months in my CV with a job as a “SDE-I Android” working with the founder directly.
I spiced up my CV with claims of 2x load time, reducing costs, international team collaboration, and an award.
Some college awards to boot too!

I made a detailed fake job story, read interview books, solved questions and watched salary negotiation videos. Eventually, I got into a Series A startup with only having to make 1 fake certificate.
They never checked with my previous employers, and now I earn eight times what I would have.

The guilt and imposter syndrome haunted me until I started performing well. I still feel guilty, like last Holi when my family praised my achievements.

Just excused myself and went for a smoke and a ride out. The bike is here and it is a custom painted beauty.

Guilty thoughts still go by occasionally but I am becoming more and more comfortably numb to it every passing year.

I have since stopped outright lying and just partake in the standard resume inflation.

Had to let this out.

I am a resume liar

Product Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'm a final year student at a tier-1 engineering college. I am looking to break into product management and have been looking for internships and full time opportunities for the last 5 months. I've had no luck so far, and my campus placements are not up to the mark this year so no luck there as well. I've done all the essentials for preparing for this role, like preparing for interviews, participating in product teardowns, working on a portfolio etc. I initially planned to work for a few years and do an MBA in the US but I'm seriously contemplating going for a master's degree now (maybe MiM in EU or some MS in software applications in the US). Looking for advice on what should be my next steps. 
PS: I'm not looking to do an MBA in India. If I go for a master's degree, I want to do it abroad.

Is this a good time to go for higher studies (in management or similar)?

I am a computer engineering student from a tier 3 college in Pune. Now that I am in the last couple of months of my 6th semester multiple companies have come to our campus but I haven't gotten an internship. How do i search for internships off campus?
Are there any tips from some experienced people like what do companies look at when giving out internships. Since last month I started applying off campus using linkedin and other websites but I am not getting any callbacks for interviews or even online tests.
Previously I haven't done any internships but have done projects which I have out on my resume.

Please forgive me if the format of this post is wrong, vague or broad. I am writing a grapevine post for the first time.
