I started my college with a hope to create a good set of friends & explore alot of stuffs.
I went to every single club, tried my hands at everything. Ofc my GPA suffered, scored around ~5.5. I prepared my family for back, but somehow I passed.
Then covid happened, stuck at home, exploring different communities, stuffs. I focused alot on myself at that time, and hence met really nice set of people from college (still with me, and I'm extremely proud of them, I don't think I would have met them in offline mode at all)
I met one senior, who was doing great career wise. I tag along with him, he guided what to do, what to learn, and etc. I've enjoyed CS.
When I got back to college, I was one of the early people to fetch a Summer Internship (pay was great, I've checked it thrice - I had no idea companies do pay so well)
I went to internship, extremely toxic culture. Unable to offer even my 10%
Company didn't offered PPO & I'm glad they didn't.
Went back to college, worked harder. Still unplaced for a long time. Got the job in the last month in a good ed-tech startup, with shiny numbers & hopes.
Enjoyed my internship, gave everything to the company, learned a lot. At the end they revoked our FTE offers.
Remain unplaced for 6 months, got a job in a service based toxic company with shitty work. Worked harder with my day job, to get a good job. Due to extremely unhealthy lifestyle, admitted to hospital, resigned from the company.
Stayed at home again, for 2 months.
Finally landed a job in a Unicorn startup.
Life's been nice lately but ik it's just a phase.
