How I learned to code in 3 months and cracked Google and Amazon

🤝 DSA CHANNEL - / @devashhad
How I learned to code in 3 months and received offers from Google and Amazon.
On April 5th 2019 I was rejected from the last on campus internship that I applied to, and on April 25th 2022 I started working as a Software engineer at Google after quitting my job at Amazon as an SDE1. And today I want to talk about how I went from almost no knowledge of coding to working at companies like Google and Amazon and I did it with just 3 months of preparation and I didn’t have any internships or fancy projects or hackathons. I am also going to share what worked for me so you don’t have to go make the same mistakes that I did in getting your dream job. I’ll also share the 3 most important things that you need to do to get any job.

@Sagar Bakshi exactly

[@shree3434]

for intership/placement 1.pick language c++ or Java if you want to do cp pick c++ because 90% people in cp do in c++ 2.learn DSA 3.solve questions on geeks for geeks and leetcode 4.learn web development/app development/etc and build projects (2-3) 5.learn concepts (OS,DBMS,CN,OOPS) 6.learn system design 7.if you have time solve cp on codechef or codeforces 8.revise every things regularly because if forgotten then have to learn from start

[@saikiran8947]

"No knowledge in coding" Do you mean that by studying 2year C++ in 11 and 12th and four years of software engineering It's like I use to swim in local wells but suddenly I started to swim in pools also and here I learned how to swim in one week with no knowledge of swimming in pools. it's impossible for an individual to be at least well-known in one of the basics of language who never had a computer class in their schools and colleges streams.

If you're from CSE background and pretty much knowledge about what to learn. You can prepare in 3months... But for non CSE background it's very hard to crack in 3months. Because they just started their journey

I came here because I thought I was going to be calling BS on some "cheat" you found to get into Google and Amazon. But instead, I found you actually telling people how to be good software engineers. This is great advice, but they're not hacks. What you're describing is your journey from being a programmer/coder to becoming a software engineer. Nicely done, both, on the video and on your journey.

[@akshaysingh548]

Hi Ashhad, thanks for the inspirational video. I have one doubt, can you explain what is you learning/practicing process for DSA and Competitive programming, I'm solving problems for couple of months on leetcode and I'm creating notes with every new problem I'm tackling and that's taking a bit of time, so should i create proper notes or just solve the questions and write few lines about the problem? I'd appreciate if you could help me on this.

Thank you so much! I am so glad I watched this video. I can relate so much with your journey. I wasted my first and second year. It was in corona period and I don't even know how it went. I have recently became interested in coding, all I know is basics of c++, python, flask and html, css. I have done some small projects in them. But now I want to become serious and I was confused with how and where should I start. I knew basic python and I also have chosen AI ML as my major. Thats why I was confused with whether should I do dsa in python or c++ or java. But now I have decided that I am going to learn java properly and do DSA. This is start of my journey and I hope I learn from you.
