Hey all, I’m delighted to share that I’ve joined @Microsoft as a Software Engineer last month at their Hyderabad office. The journey wasn’t easy at all but I’m proud of myself that I didn’t give up.
Will share my interview journey soon.

@AmanSharma_554 Try for masters lol you’ll understand it’s weightage. Less than 7.5 and you’ve got virtually no chance at all for even a mid tier university.
It’s just because here we have this gpa inflation that causes no one to take it seriously.
🔅DETAILED THREAD: Choosing GSoC orgs: 🧵
1. This is not a 5 min tutorial it will take you at least 1.5-2 months so be patient. 🙂❗️
2. Go through the 2025 list of selected orgs and find an orgs that matches your skill sets or something you want to learn right now.
.. contd.
20. Finally the proposal matters too.(Thread incoming 🧵)
Also if you want I can make a thread on other open source programs you can contribute to, few of them I’ve contributed in the past as well.
Feel free to post any questions in the comments.
Happy GSoCing 🤓

18. this happens “rarely” and only if your contribution record was “spectacular” and they feel you deserve it.
19. Enjoy the process and not just the outcome, there are a ton of other programs you can apply to once you have developed the right skills.
