[@krishnareddy3010]

Cool bro, its fun watching with learnings.

[@Shredder220]

Really inspiring ..keep making these kind of videos sir😃

[@zafershah247]

Never have I ever laughed this much, while watching an interview😂😂

[@gsourav]

Akshay, how do we actually approach such companies like PayPal for an interview ? I am having a 5+ years of experience now in JS (Angular,Node) and Core Java in a product based company, now looking for a change. Preparation wise although I am clear, I am not so sure on how to approach this big product companies for an interview or opportunity. Can you throw some light on this, as to how we can get information on such vacancies, as in if there is any common forum,etc. I have used Naukri etc but seldom get calls from big companies.

[@akshaymarch7]

Various ways: 0. Job Portals like Naukri, Instahyre, Monster, etc. 1. Referrals from friends 2. Approach Recruiters on LinkedIn 3. Consulting Agency people on LinkedIn 4. Careers Section on the company website 5. LinkedIn jobs section 6. Online tests on platforms like HackerEarth, Hackerrank and others Right now, only these are the top ones in my mind. I'll add more here if I recall.

[@vishalpatil7994]

Thanks bhai

[@ebucs7165]

One of the best interviews exp sharing session on youtube. It was very fun to watch and knowledgeable at the same time

[@lh6845]

A nice detailed discussion 👍

[@dubey1akash]

i like her simplicity

[@aireddy]

Great interview tips @sakshianad . Thank you @Akshaysaini for taking time conduct these interviews. These interviews definitely help many folks who is preparing for interviews. Attitude, discipline, dedication is very important regardless of which roll you are playing . Once you cross 10+ years of experience no one cares about what we studied during college days. Relationships are more important in career growth. I throughly enjoyed and learn some tips what’s going on with developer world. I am more into DevOps side. I like algorithms and teach data structures for MSC candidates in 2000.

[@gouthamsreeram3533]

Keep doing bro. We will be waiting..

How did she get a call from the recruiter??

[@Ashish--Bisht]

Akshay bhai, I did BCA and got placed in Capgemini in 2017, worked there for 2years 8 months as a tester, now I have resigned and I am thinking of doing MCA which is masters degree and I want to convert my profile from tester to front end developer. My question is will I have opportunities to get into good companies? by just having BCA degree or it is important to have a higher degree as I see we BCA graduates are not having many oppurtunies as comapred to engineering graduates.

[@zaheershaik]

First Study DSA to crack product company leetcode.com/discuss/general-discussion/494279/comprehensive-data-structure-and-algorithm-study-guide and for front end there are many youtube and udemy courses to learn and apply side projects.

[@AnkitSingh-wq2rk]

She said that recruiter approached to her ...I want to know what should a working professional do to get in the eyes of these companies ... Ik for college grad good profile on competitive prog sites lures the eyes ..but noone discusses clearly what should a working professional do in order to get the same response.
