dilemma is real

I am a tier three college student with good coding skills, and as we all know, the market situation is totally messed up. Despite this, I have received one offer of 5 LPA in Surat (startup) for the role of SDE - 1. What should I do? I don’t have any experience or internship offer is based on all interviews rounds and coding skills. Any opinion is it good start !?

I was persuing cse from a decent college in pune . In my last year i.e.2023 , I was placed in a startup in pune with CTC 5 lpa but it had bond of 2 years ,so I rejected that offer .I ended up getting my college placement account banned because according to them I was already placed ,so I started looking for jobs off campus,but I never thought it's going to be this hard to look for jobs off campus. Applying to multiple companies in a day ,resume getting rejected and then applying again .for some where I get shortlisted, they keep on asking questions from things which are not even mentioned in my resume although their jd don't even mentioned those skills .In some companies where my interview was 10 on 10 (according to me), still they rejected me and when asked they used to say ,they found more suitable candidates. I graduated in September 2023 , and I am still looking for job , trying to upgrading myself everyday to get better. I never regret my decision of not accepting that job. I don't know if I am getting any job or not but I am gonna be more strong and better with each passing day . Regards .

Hello I'm 22F a 4th year student from a tier 3 college. I got placed on campus in a very small scale startup for 6.5 lpa but the internship period was of 9 months at 15k per month in blr. Now they have announced that they won't be giving PPO to us. My internship is ending in March 2024 before that I need to get into a new job. But all the openings are low paying i.e. 3 or 4lpa jobs and I'm in doubt with my DSA skills. I need someone who can mentor me on this path. I've worked on mostly Java, Springboot, Automation testing and C++. How should I prepare along with my internship in this 2 months?

For the package of 6-8 lpa, which dsa topics are very Important and how much depth should I cover to clear the OA and Interview round. Please mention the topics which are most important.

Currently I am in my second year from a Tier 3 college. On campus placements at my college for the 2024 batch is really worse. Few companies are hiring for sales roles etc. and most of them are putting tough eligibility criteria and hiring only few. To be very honest, I have no hopes from on campus placements. I am going for the off campus route. What should I do to get a decent intern in third year/fourth year and a decent job by the time of graduation? Talking about my progress, I am doing DSA, taking part in contests in Codechef, Codeforces, and Leetcode. Besides that I have started learning Machine Learning. Have done only the Math part and basics though still now. Been to 2 offline hackathons.

I am an engineering student from tier 1 clg, with very low cgpa. My chances of getting those high paying jobs is very low as I don't code and the only options left for me is analyst and pm. Please suggest me how should I prepare for off campus placements/ internship as I have no idea that how are they different from on campus placements

I’m a upcoming 4th year Integrated msc chemistry(5 year) student from NIT Warangal and I have an exit option after 4th year also, i.e with the bachelors degree and as of now I have decided to go with this. But the major concern for me is that my college won’t be allowing me for the campus placement. How and when should I start reaching out for off-campus Product/Analyst roles? I was thinking of reaching out to campus recruiters from companies that hire from my college and other colleges, Will that work?

I am an EE Final year undergrad from a Tier 2 College. I have worked with production apps and am still working with a startup (mostly PPOed). I never did DSA/CP and got hooked to dev only. Now having worked for over 20 months I get sad when I see people who did 2 months DSA getting 30LPA and Where I am not rejected from the shortlisting itself (Oncampus). Recently saw a guy with no experience, literally getting a 60LPA job with a 33L base. And now I doubt my life choices, why did my efforts of managing college and work at once end up in such a disgusting manner. My PPO won't be even half of his CTC. And a guy with just 5-6 months DSA cracks a 60LPA job. Life is tough but shouldn't be up to this extent. How should I tackle this crisis?

My question, as a college student, which is a better thing to do? 1. Keep learning new tech stack and build different projects. Or 2. Try to contribute to some organization through open source and learn through contribution itself (assuming i have some basic knowledge) + increase my network of connections (if possible). My primary goal right now is getting decent on campus placement as of now but i have plans to try oss contribution in future even if i am unable to do rn. My 2nd year will end in a few days btw. Note that i can't do both simultaneously as my college is very hectic (tier 3) but it has some okayish placement.
