Journey
I secured this interview through a campus placement opportunity offered by Infosys. I prepared for DSA and honed my DBMS and DevOps skills before the interview, as these were the skills I had listed on my resume. There was an online assessment on campus, which consisted of seven sections, and we had to complete them within two hours. These sections included Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, Pattern Solving, English Comprehension, and Code Debugging. I would rank this test as easy. After this round, there was an interview, which was fairly easy to clear as well. The main opportunity comes after being selected as System Engineers. I have secured the System Engineer role and am eligible for the Specialist Programmer Upgrade Test, which increases the salary from 3.6 LPA to 9.5 LPA. I have taken the test and am now awaiting the results.
