SDE - 1

I am 22 years old. I am working as a software developer in an MNC. Currently, my in-hand salary is great. I am living a decent life in Kolkata. I don't feel shy in saying I am a small-town girl born into a middle-class family. My parents' only motive was to provide their children with the best education possible. This made me ambitious and industrious since childhood. I got 1st rank in my Ist class and this was statistically unchanged over the years. After my 10th standard, I chose Science and wanted to prepare for IIT JEE. But at that time, there was no coaching in my town. I decided to prepare for my board exam so that I could get admission to some renowned University. I did my best and got 92 %. I gave IIT JEE mains exam, but I could not clear the exam. My teachers advised me to drop one year and prepare for IIT-JEE in Kota. I had two options - To pack my bags for Kota. Or to get admission to MAKAUT via WB joint. I had to drop the idea of studying at top colleges. I was dispirited by the circumstances. I felt like all my hard work over the years went in vain. After the 12th board, where my friends were getting presents for getting passed or a good performance, I did not get the education of my choice. But, I didn't give up. I started trying local colleges for B.Tech. I was admitted there and started giving tuition classes to avoid asking for any pocket money from my parents. Being in a Tier 3 college, I knew only a few companies were going to visit for campus placement. I have to work hard to get a job. I used to learn to code using platforms like Hackerrank, CodeChef, and HackerEarth, I started learning from the basics. I learned all the required skills that a company looks for like making one coding language my strength and communication skills. And then comes the time for campus placement. I got the job offer. Not one but from four MNCs - LTI, Cognizant, TCS, and Wipro. I joined LTI.So with proper dedication and hard work, you can achieve anything in this universe. This way, I came to the place where I am today.

I got the offer from on-campus placements. All information for applying in the drive was mailed to us by the college authority. Before registering they conducted a pre-placement talk where they cleared all the eligibility criteria, mode of the test, and phases. We got a reality check that we have to work hard to get into it.
