Open source contribution!!
Are you guys contributing to open source? Are there any good open source projects specially in Spring Boot.
Also Open source contribution gives me an edge over others in interviews?

Learn something new or Open source?
My question, as a college student, which is a better thing to do?
- Keep learning new tech stack and build different projects. Or
- 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.

Campus placements gives fcuk about neither. Of you want to go that route, do basic blant DSA+Apti way.
You mentioned you're in tier3 college, so I wonder why are you even trying for college placements.
I am 2023 graduate. If campus placement is not your primary goal, go for the open source route. Would help you a lot to grow.

Yeah you're right. On campus placement has been mostly luck and gender based in our college. I just don't want to miss on this opportunity because off campus placement is really hard to pull off afaik.

Indian SDEs on LinkedIn & Twitter are some of the worst engineers you will ever find across the real world. Their typical value lies around:
