YoE: Less than 1 year at a startup (Laid off)
Education: B.Tech. from NIT (2023 grad)
Location: Bengaluru
Date: March 2024

Little background about myself: I am from a non circuital branch and have never done competitive coding. Back in my college days, never had a mindset of cracking such a big company but I was interested in development since the beginning. Things changed when I got laid off and I started preparing, I got offers from early stage startups and other companies which paid quite less, I rejected all the offers and focused on upskilling and finally got a opportunity with Walmart.
