@BhargavLearns @cmd_dj221 You need to understand underlying system calls for TCP this code makes.

socket(): creates ordinary socket
bind(): binds ip and port of socket
listen(): start listening for new connections
accept(): accepts the connection request

can write in any language after this

@OjasSharma276 This is common in "dihadi majdoori". These employers usually have some other businesses where this worked and they think it would also work in tech jobs. We all know what these companies are called in the Indian ecosystem.

@Narayani07 I find it overrated, I need Ginger Kullad Tea

@rvivek He is lucky that the guy told him what he needs. I have seen cases where people take whatever they are offered and go to another company to get a higher package.

@akkiex007 affordable big tech employee, hmmmmm

[Curious Coder @curious_coder1]

@daddynohara @hijunedkhatri thanks for these insights

[Curious Coder @curious_coder1]

@hijunedkhatri hiring is pretty costly

@shekhu04 I don't know about this company but few companies deliberately delay the release of offer letters. Trick to make you join their company without leaving any opportunity for you to go offer shopping.

@salujamehak5 name and shame!

[Curious Coder @curious_coder1]

@akkiex007 I am sure someone must be selling a course on it 😜

[Curious Coder @curious_coder1]

@akkiex007 if they are small tasks club them, that way you won't feel overwhelmed. Another trick is to write the number of hours you think it will take to finish the task. Based on how much time you have between your major tasks you can slice these tasks in between

[Curious Coder @curious_coder1]

@mohitpandeyyyy yeah, if you are offered based on the market and skills then there is less chance of people doing offer shopping

[Curious Coder @curious_coder1]

When I resigned from AWS in the US, the first offer I got was 70% more than my current CTC. I joined this same company that offered me, no offer shopping or anything of that sort.

[Curious Coder @curious_coder1]

I also cancelled two other interviews that were scheduled at other FAANG+ companies. Joining a company without offer shopping is hard in India.

@udaykotak The biggest challenge is that India is not able to provide an ecosystem and environment for the top talent to stay in the country. Founders need talent to build.

[Curious Coder @curious_coder1]

@akkiex007 Could you please elaborate?

[Curious Coder @curious_coder1]

@sourabhkapure it is but getting hired is also not easy, Indian recruitment has a lot of issues because both sides are trying to optimize for themselves and taking those optimizations to the next level
