Hello, I am Fraz.
I am a Software Engineer at @Google. I have made this channel to help all who are ready to learn, grow, and do something big in the field of Tech. I create content through informational videos, tutorials, and podcasts that will help students and software engineers.
In this podcast, I have Rajat with us who is a 2020 graduate from Tier 3 college which shockingly had no Computer Science branch. He got offer from TCS in 2020 but rejected the same, let us see the reason in this video.
He took a two-year career break after college and now holds an SDE position in a start-up company. His journey is admirable and is an inspiration for those who want to restart their career.

Jo log fir bhi inspire nhi hua toh i will my case. 10th - 49% 12th - 54% Btech - mech(72%). Gap - 4+years Coding knowledge- null. Life getting apart after family and financial crisis. Then finding out how to get a job within 6-8 months. Started coding with java language. And build of my knowledge. Started doing DSA but only basic. Started learning HTML, css, JS, and then REACTJS. Also learned about Databases. Started applying for jobs before making any projects. Till i got my 1st interview, i have completed my project around 80%. Have rejected in more than 10+ interviews within 2 months. To be honest, i got less interviews calls because of percentages, non IT background, GAP. Tyrn finally placed in one company which offer me 7lpa. And currently working there only. Thats my life. If anyone relates with me. Then i will recommend at least give it a try, i know it is hard, but to be honest u dont have to master anything for cracking interviews. Just keep trying.

[@zohebansari6429]

Much respect bhai much respect .....I m entering final year not done any language/coding yet..this gives me a lot of motivation ....by the way like you said in comment you able to get job within 1 year of coding ??

[@SkySeFall-yd2ut]

Yes, but u have to storm alot. Pagalo jese linkdin, naukri or many websites par roz apply karu. Logo ko pareshan karna pdega to get a job. And bhai tu final year me hai tere ko coding bhi nhi aati toh bhi normal company le jayegi, only thing is package mat dekhna but job profile is important, agar job profile according to u nhi mil rahi them simple reject that company. And last me bhai start focus on coding with any language.

Pay after placement is really tricky, even if they were not able to place you and you find job with your own efforts or connection still you will be asked to pay the institution also it's mostly for online courses and it made me feel this is a sponsered video

I'm from arts background.. After I did my graduation (B.A) I did "O" level from NIELIT.. While doing this course I fell in love with IT and Coding... Now I'm 23 years old.. I want to do BCA from IGNOU .. Then crack NIMCET .. & do MCA.. But my age will be 27 then.. is that a crazy idea to do MCA at that age ??

[@sumitthakur1625]

maybe you can get into IT Sector without doing mca and for that you can focus on studing tech stacks rather focusing on doing mca then taking a job ......at the end of day its up to you ....wish u luck

[@E-vidhya]

Maths in 12 so you con do mca after 2019

[@howyou2035]

Don't join bca/mca. You don't need that. Learn skills and start applying in start ups companies

[@Sinchit921]

I will suggest u PGDCA (Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Application) 1year duration from IGNOU And then MSc IT also 1 year This is the best way if you want to switch in IT (2 year mein sab kuch)

[@user-oi1oe5he5r]

i suggest you to go for pay after placements program. you dont need to do bca nd mca .. these programs teach you full stack web development in just 6 to 8 months..
