Overthinking or Truth?
Hello Grapevine folks,
I am a 4th year CSE undergrad student from tier 2 college.
I have done internships at various small startups all remote and also have freelancing experience. But now in dilemma because of my expectations from me. The companies coming in my college for placement are not very big and not offering much . Mostly offer package in between 5-15 lpa .
For off-campus I am not that confident that I will pull through it , As the no of applicants are very high and have CP experience, ICPC all that stuff but I dont have that.
Another option is to go for remote Jobs in small startups. But they will not pay much . And do their experience matter?
I have a fear of not getting a good company and and being left out 🥺.
Currently focus and go for campus placement, that will give you a safety net and an option to go to if you don't get an off campus job.
Once you land a job on campus then keep trying for off campus (office, remote, hybrid whatever you want). If you get anything which you like then go for that otherwise you'll have an option of on campus company at least.
I would say, better to hit the first 18-24 months running
Gather best practices, grow and take it from there
I mean definitely optimise for pay too, don’t take rubbish opportunities if you can do better, but get your priorities right and stay with it
