Hi everyone,
It's time for me to take a short break from X. โค๏ธ
I'll be disappearing for a few months to focus on things that matter the most right nowโlearning, building, and preparing for what's ahead.
Can we talk about how weird hiring can be?
Got shortlisted by companies like PayPal, Amazon, Cisco, and several top startups with a 7.83 CGPA
But Flipkart GRiD has an 8.0 CGPA cutoff, so I wasn't even shortlisted
I genuinely wonderโhow many others are in the same situation?๐ญ
Can anyone else confirm? Just received an email saying "Code with Cisco 2026" scheduled for July 16 has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances, and they'll announce a new schedule later.
Is everyone who registered getting the same email?
