SDE - Intern

I graduated in Electrical Engineering in 2018 from IET Lucknow. After completing my B.Tech, I prepared for GATE ESE, but it was not successful as I was unable to focus during the COVID times. After COVID, I planned to switch my job profile to IT, so I joined the Coding Ninjas Boot Camp program for web development. The 9-month Bootcamp program was very intense, and I dedicated my full time to learning and practising programming concepts in Data Structures, Java Core, JavaScript, backend development using Node.js in the Express framework, and frontend development using React.js. I also built many projects. After completing the boot camp, I participated in mock interviews and performed well, which boosted my morale. I then started applying for SDE roles. After many round 0 shortlist rejections, I finally had my first interview with Technoagile, which went well. I received positive feedback from the team, but unfortunately, the company went down, so I could not join. After that, I took a non-IT job through a third-party channel partner at Thermax Ltd. There, I was responsible for backend work for heating services in the North region. I chose this job so that I could have enough time to practice coding and apply for SDE roles. After 7 months of rigorously applying for jobs, I finally got an interview call for an Associate Software Developer position at Global Shala. I gave the interview and received a Software Intern offer. Currently, I am working with the team at Global Shala.

I applied for this job through the placement cell of Coding Ninjas. It was offering 5 LPA for a fresher role. I gave the interview for this role while I was in the conference room at the Thermax office.

I was offered the Software Intern position because I answered the questions very well. The interviewer asked around 30 problems, and I answered most of them. I also wrote code for a few DSA problems.
