What is your salary? Are you happy with it?

I am 23 years (will turn 24 this March) old
Software Engineer (SDE1 - Mobile) in Bangalore. I
started my career as an intern in May 2019 where
I used to get 15K in hand every month for up to 6
months. After that, I used to get 22k per month
for another 6 months. I worked for a total of 1 year
as an intern.

Post completion of my internship I got a PPO from

the same company in May 2020 with an offer of
4.5 LPA where I used to get 30K in hand every
month. I continued to work in the same company
for 1 year. Meanwhile, I was working hard on my
development skills and Data Structures and
Algorithms. After office hours I used to study
hard, and solve problems based on DSA on coding
platforms like Leetcode, CodeChef, etc.

In mid-2021 I started giving interviews for good

product-based companies and I was able to crack
5 to 6 companies in one shot. I started to work in
a product-based organization with an offer of
18LPA where I am getting 1.12 Lakhs per month in
hand.

Financially I am very happy, as I belong to an

average orthodox middle-class family and I never
had support from my family to go into the IT
sector, they always wanted me to go into govt
jobs. Even my Engineering branch (EEE) was
chosen by my father, I always wanted to study
CSE. At that time I didn't have enough courage
and strength to go against my family so I had to
choose EEE. I used to get very little pocket money
during my college days and it was very difficult to
meet my daily needs with that. I am very thankful
to my friends who were always there for me in
college and helped me with money whenever I
needed it.

Now I am independent and have more than

enough to spend. Recently I bought Macbook Pro,
iPhone 13, and AirPods pro with my own money.
Apple products were always my dream to buy.

I have also started to help poor people near the

Sony Signal, Bangalore by buying them food on
the daily basis and clothes on a quarterly basis. It
makes me so happy to see them smile. Every time
I buy them food they bless me by touching my
head and cheeks and I just feel on top of the
world.

Edit:

I am not an IITIAN. I was not able to crack JEE

Advance. I got 102 marks in JEE Mains in
2016. Cleared JEE Mains with only 2 marks
which is not an achievement. I have done my
Engineering from LPU in EEE branch.

Thanks a lot, everyone. Since many of you are

asking how I prepared for the interviews. Below
are the steps that I followed.

1. Learned both native android development

and hybrid mobile app development
(react-native) from youtube. You can
learn whatever you want (frontend,
backend, mobile, full-stack). There are a
lot of free resources out there and they
are really worth it.

2. Learned basics of DSA from coding ninjas

and then from Programming Pathshala
for advanced problem-solving. Nowadays
there are free resources for DSA as well
on youtube.

3. Started solving interview focussed

selective questions from Leetcode, GFG,
and Codechef. Never sat for any
competitive coding challenge as my goal
was to crack interviews not to become a
competitive coder. (If you do competitive
coding then it will definitely add on).

4. For selective questions, you can solve the

DSA sheet by love Babbar. It is a really
awesome sheet with interview focussed
questions.

5. Start giving interviews once you have

solved at least 60% of the questions.

6. Never be afraid of rejection. Get rejected

and this will make your fear of rejection
go away. This will also help you to get
familiarised with the interview process
and will build confidence.

7. Once you become confident you will start

to crack interviews with ease.

For applying for Software Engineering

Jobs. Apply in the following sites:

1. Cutshort
2. Instahyre
3. Bigshyft
4. Linkedin
5. Through referrals.

Edit 2:

I am not an active writer on quora. I never had

thought that I will get a response like this on my
answer. I do understand most of you who are
trying to get into good product-based companies,
once I was in your shoes.

Believe me, I have been an average student all

my life. I don't have any special talents. It's
not like I can solve any DSA question without
getting stuck. Even now I am not able to solve
many hard-level questions in the most
optimized way.

If I can do it you all can do it as well and maybe

in a much better way.

It doesn't matter if you are from any branch

you can still become a good Software
Developer. It doesn't matter if you are
working in a service based company, you can
easily switch anytime. Day before yesterday
one of my close friends bagged an
opportunity of 11LPA in a product based
organization, he was working in a service
based firm since 1 year.

Those who can afford paid courses can surely join

them. It will benefit you.

For free DSA courses :

Data Structure and Algorithms

take U forward

DSA sheet to solve (by Love Babbar):

FINAL450.xlsx

For learning languages and tech stack :

freeCodeCamp.org

Start appearing for the interviews. Make your

attitude like “Jyada se jyada kya hoga? reject
honge!”

Solve at least 60% of the questions on the

DSA sheet and start giving interviews. Don't
wait to become perfect. You will never
become perfect. No one is perfect. Face the
interviews (battle). It doesn't matter if you
get rejected, at least you will become familiar
with the interview process and will be more
prepared for the next company's interview.

It is okay to see the solution if you get stuck

anytime. But make sure that you understand
it and in the future, if the same question or
same type of question gets repeated then you
must solve it without getting stucked.
