Its usually January or the beginning of the 6th semester when the fear of placements in 4th year starts seeping in, college faculties, your friends, and most importantly your family, waiting to ask you about your future plans.

It was in the month of January when I sat and introspected as to what should be my next step because placements were a few months away. And to crack the big giants like Google, etc I needed to be very thorough and well versed with Data Structures & Algorithms, i.e. ~6 months of rigorous preparations. I wanted to crack these companies but at the same time I wanted to build and launch my personal project (Creatorlist).

I am dividing my journey into multiple blogs to cover each phase in some depth rather than give just a surface ride without much to absorb in a single long read.

  1. Deciding whether big giants or my own project
  2. Onset of the college on-campus companies
  3. Applying for off-campus companies
  4. Strategy of choosing companies to apply for
  5. Dealing with mental pressure
