If I was in a Tier 3 college I would make it my first priority to make some friends in Tier 1 colleges just to stay aware and updated.
I have seen people wasting their entire college life thinking that only a good CGPA would get them a job and they do nothing else in college🤡
My close friend and classmate had a PPO after his summer internship from Atlassian as an SDE, starting this year after we graduated. Unfortunately, the offer was revoked because of company changes and economic downturn. I can vouch for his skills—he's participated in ICPC regionals, excels in teamwork (we worked together on projects in our 7th and 8th semesters), consistently maintained a high GPA, possesses strong backend development knowledge, and took the lead in organizing coding competitions and events during our college festivals. If anyone is hiring or can offer a referral for this outstanding candidate from the batch of 2024 https://t.co/tNeianH90V, please let me know. RT to spread the word.

I have cleared coding tests of:
- Google
- Goldman Sachs
- Codenation
- Bloomberg
- Hudson River Trading
- Atlassian and many more...
I wouldn't have cleared any of the above if I wasn't already very good at CP.
I have failed in following during college:
- Linkedin (couldn't solve a Matrix Expo problem)
- IMC Trading (solved all problems, wasn't fast enough)
- Intuit (couldn't solve a Segment Tree problem)
I could have cleared the above if I was better at CP.
You can hear people saying CP is a waste of time but if you look at it from a placement perspective, CP actually enables you to get an interview.
If you compare the coding tests in 2023-24 to that of 2020-21, you would only find the difficulty increasing.
When I talk to some of the alumni from TLE Eliminators today, almost everyone tells me that they wouldn't have got that job/internship without their CP skills.
