All the quitters to course makers… why?

USA : Quits Faang to innovate  
 India: Quits Faang to beg

I mean c'mon dude

Op hides name as good as Pakistan hid Osama Bin laden.

Cybersecurity

A perfect foundation of a profitable business in India. Sell hopes, create FOMO, increase competition and be rich. 

All those who wanted to change Education System are very much part of same system now!!!

How beautiful!

Why not use your FAANG tag and exploit a market of desperate students by selling them big hopes and dreams.

Legend says Sama refused to learn DSA for Microsoft Interview after getting inspired by some Indian LinkedIn Influencers.

Can someone confirm if Sama was asked DSA in his Microsoft interview ?

He tried joining google, but couldn't invert a binary tree 🌲

Every few weeks I see his post on LinkedIn about how startups are burning money, and the post ends with his open pitch for a distraction free smartphone, called Seneca, that he is building.

He writes well but i have been seeing such posts for a year now and was wondering if he is really building something or it is just some sort of scam to get funds from people.

Anyone heard of Seneca or Nishant Mittal?

Product Manager

Bhaiya/ Didi, please stfu. Keep your courses to you. If you really care about bringing revolution to edtech, then sell your courses for free. What you are doing is fooling the dumb gullible indian college kids. I don't want to see your randomass selfie explaining why your course is 10xbetter than the same other thousand courses. This breed is successfully ruining lakhs of students with the clickbaity crore rupee salary.

My blood boils whenever a person from NSIT/DTU, ex Microsoft/Amazon/Meta, 2021/22 placed starts preaching random gyan on LinkedIn about placement/ interview

142 engineers. Confirm if you know someone

Github India engineering completely laid off

The camp in my opinion is not what it claims to be. People who are doing well in the camp are the ones who took matters in their own hand and started learning on their own.

Pros:

1. Practice sets were given often(There were 27 practice sets of all topics) which helped us form the practice for writing code for hooks without wasting time in thinking about the approach.

2. Community is good. MA’s are very helpful and will guide you in every situation. Taking the time out of their busy schedule. Very thankful to them.

3. Machine coding rounds were conducted. Which helped us speed up the process. 

4. Revision sessions were conducted for people who couldn’t understand the lecture taken by Tanay. These sessions were taken by Akanksha.

Cons:

1. Redux was removed from course even though it is mentioned on the website. They say that redux is not important but it is, companies ideally want their candidates to know redux.

2. Tanay simply skims through a topic, does not go in depth inside any topic. An advice which he ironically gives in his youtube videos. He ignores any advanced questions asked in the session claiming he has not covered yet. Says he will teach later and does not cover that topic later.

3. We were forbidden to discuss anything that isn’t taught yet.Stopping the flow of knowledge. That means you can’t even use the community to discuss something new because they haven’t taught it yet.

4. MA’s(Ex-neoGrads) were discouraged from answering questions about topics that weren’t taught yet. They used to host sessions on hard topics that people didn’t understand in voice chats but were discouraged to do so.

5. Didn’t even cover the dependency array in useEffect hook. He just said you will keep it empty 90% of the time. useMemo and useCallback were not even mentioned. Forget about code optimizations. Honestly, you will learn more in a 30min youtube video than in their class.

Reality of neoG bootcamp

I joined Neog hoping to learn Advanced Full stack but LOL this whole bootcamp is a scam. They are only focussed on earning money. A simple 500rs Udemy course will teach you more than this Channa mereya drama. There has been 0 percent addition in my knowledge after joining NEOG because I already know basics I wanted to learn Advanced things. 
  
 1) No Lectures on memo and callback 
 2) No Redux 
 3) DSA lol (mentioned on the website) 
 4) Backend LMAO ( mentioned on the websit) 
 5) Industry Standard Coding - why is it even mentioned on the website. 
  
  
 I have no problem with Neog Do whatever you want. But please don't lie about your course. Just Mention it on your website that you will only teach basics. I regret that hard-earned money of my parents is wasted.

Navi Technology founded by Sachin Bansal is doing mass layoffs which started on Tuesday (11 July)

Mass Layoffs at Navi Technology

Damn no wonder they are firing 
 I know some average freshers who joined at 21 base last year  
 Overpaying for average talent always results in firing in startups,is what I have observed

Data Scientist

One of my friend works there. Told tech is going to be majorly affected. It will happen this week

Another round layoffs from dukaan.

Their CEO is pretty mouthful on twitter shows that the leadership works with zero empathy.

Can we please share the companies which are laying off and kind of roles laid off?

1. Goldman Sachs -Consumer Banking 
2. Twitter -Marketing 
If you have any other companies also please post in comments

Muted him everywhere some 6 months back, this was destined to happen.

He sadly became the face of fintech/edtech/startups without any in-depth knowledge, he used to just copy paste articles and content from everywhere and claimed to know the ecosystem very well.

Also very strange how he became a senior team member at Testbook with all these fake degrees? Puts a question mark on the credibility of such startups who endorse these f*ckers!

Gone for the good!

One more Influenzar down!

Who is that 1 LinkedIn profle you hate and why?

Mine. Never got me shortlisted for any job application.

Work culture at Zepto

Don’t cry, I know it’s too much to handle! 😂😂

Why every other influencer at Linkedin works at Microsoft?

Several other founders out there full of immaturity, short sightedness and god complexes. Have you met any of them?
