did anyone receive any update after the OA which was held on 6th august??

I gave my OA on 6th August. Has anyone received any update about the next rounds yet?

Also, if anyone recently interviewed for the 2026 AMTS role, were the rounds online or onsite?

My mail mentioned 2 technical rounds + 1 manager round after the OA.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. We met during undergrad, and both of us were pretty unserious about life back then. Over these years, we grew a lot together. We pushed each other to become disciplined, career-focused, and more mature. I genuinely believe we changed each other for the better.

Last year, he decided to prepare for CAT instead of sitting for campus placements. It was an incredibly difficult decision because he had always considered himself a below-average student and constantly doubted himself. His parents weren’t supportive either, they wanted him to take a placement instead and didn’t believe this was the right choice.

I was the one telling him not to give up. I kept reminding him that I believed in him, even when he didn’t believe in himself. During that entire year, I stood by him through everything. After the exams he slipped into depression, I stayed. I prayed for him every single day, visited temples, even kept the nine-day Navratri fast wishing for his success. I paid for his interview fees, stationaries and other small expenses, not because I wanted anything in return, but because I genuinely saw this dream as our dream. His success felt like my success.

Fast forward to today, he converted an IIM and joined about 10 days ago. I couldn’t have been happier for him.

But that’s where my hurt begins.

Since getting in, he’s changed completely. He didn’t even meet me before leaving for college. We barely spoke after he joined. He updated all his social media with pictures from his new life, posted with his parents, celebrated the journey everywhere, and recently wrote a long LinkedIn post talking about how he went from being a below-average student to getting into an IIM.
He thanked his parents, mentors, and everyone who supported him.

I wasn’t there. Not even indirectly.

To be clear, this is not about wanting a public mention on LinkedIn or Instagram. I honestly couldn’t care less about that. What hurts is that he never even privately acknowledged what I meant in that journey. Not a message saying, “I couldn’t have done this without you believing in me.” Not a conversation where he made me feel like I mattered.

Instead, I felt invisible.

The person who knew every breakdown, every self-doubt, every fear… somehow became nonexistent once he reached the destination.

I felt like I had imagined my importance in his life all along.

I ended up breaking up with him and blocking him because I couldn’t take the hurt anymore.

Maybe I was never as important in his story as he was in mine.

Am I overreacting, or would you also feel hurt in this situation?

TL;DR: I stood by my boyfriend through his entire CAT journey when no one, including himself, believed he could do it. I supported him emotionally, financially, and spiritually because I saw his dream as our dream. After he got into an IIM, I felt completely erased from his life—no appreciation, no acknowledgment, not even privately. It made me realize maybe I was never as important in his story as he was in mine.

Edit: I just want to clarify that he never used me financially. He was financially stable and could’ve easily paid for everything himself. He just had this belief that whenever he invested his own money into something, it wouldn’t work out, so I covered the smaller expenses instead. I genuinely don’t care about the money, though. What hurts is that the emotional and spiritual support I gave, and everything I poured into his journey, was never acknowledged.

Hi

I recently received an assignment from Scaler AI Labs for their SDE Intern role. It’s a full-stack application that needs to be built.

Has anyone here gone through their interview process? If yes, I’d really appreciate if you could share:

1. What happens after the assignment?
2. What kind of interview rounds are there?
3. What topics should I prepare (DSA, JavaScript, React, Node.js, system design, CS fundamentals, etc.)?
4. Do they ask questions based on the project you build?

Any tips or experience would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

I’m a 2026 CSE graduate and currently unplaced, actively looking for opportunities.

One thing that’s been bothering me lately is that I never really did competitive programming during college. I’ve done DSA and I’m still grinding it, but CP always felt intimidating and not something I could see myself getting into. Maybe that’s because I never seriously tried it.

What worries me is that almost every company seems to have an Online Assessment, and many of the OA questions I come across feel extremely difficult. Sometimes the solutions look so advanced that I struggle to understand how people solve them under time pressure.

The bigger concern is that I’ve already graduated, so it feels like I don’t have enough time to start competitive programming from scratch now.

I’m wondering:

1. Have companies intentionally increased OA difficulty because so many people use AI or cheat during assessments?
2. For someone who has focused mainly on DSA, development, internships, and projects, what’s the best way to prepare for OAs now?

I’d really appreciate advice from people who were in a similar situation and managed to land a job. How did you approach OA preparation without strong CP skills?
Thanks! 🙏

Hi,

I’m a 2026 B.Tech CSE graduate from a tier-3 college and I graduated this month. I’m currently unplaced.

I have completed 2 internships, multiple projects, a portfolio, and I’ve been consistently doing DSA and interview prep. Lately I’ve been feeling really demotivated because despite applying for months, I haven’t had much luck.

Yesterday, I seriously started considering and preparing for GATE. To be completely honest, I think part of that decision came from comparing myself to my boyfriend, who recently joined an IIM. Seeing him start a new chapter of life made me feel like I was falling behind, and I think I made an emotional decision rather than a logical one.

After thinking it through, I realized higher studies isn’t really what I want right now. My goal has always been to get a software engineering job, become financially independent, and grow in my career.

So my question is:

1. As a 2026 graduate who just graduated this month and only has internship experience, do I still have a realistic chance of getting off-campus opportunities?
2. Do companies continue hiring 2026 graduates over the next several months, or does hiring mostly shift to the 2027 batch?
3. What are my chances of getting opportunities? Am I too late now?

I’m looking for some honest guidance. I’m currently in a low phase mentally and feel like I’ve lost clarity about where my life is headed.

thankyou🙏🏻

My boyfriend and I met in first year of college and lived in the college hostel for 3 years.

In our 4th year of college(june 2025), we moved back home and things got really hard for both of us. I was struggling with internships and my career, while he was preparing for CAT.

After CAT exam, he went through a really rough phase mentally and became very depressed and anxious about admissions. We didnt meet or talk for almost an year because of everything he was dealing with.

A month ago, he finally converted an IIM and it felt like things were getting better again.

The plan was for him to leave in July, but today he got converted into another IIM that has already started, so now he’s leaving tomorrow morning.

I’m genuinely so happy and proud of him, but I can’t stop crying.

The weird part is that we were already kind of doing long distance this past year since we were both living at home. But knowing he was still just 30 minutes away felt different. Now he’s moving far away and starting a whole new chapter of his life.

I think what’s hurting is not just him leaving, but realizing that college is truly over. I keep looking at old hostel photos and memories and wondering where those 3 years went.

And if I’m being honest, I’m scared too. What if he changes? What if life takes us in different directions? I’m also unemployed right now and struggling with job hunting, so maybe all of this is hitting even harder.
I haven’t told him any of this because I don’t want to ruin his excitement before he leaves.

Idk how to be strong right now. I know IIM life is super hard and stressful, and I’m terrified that the distance, stress, and struggles we faced over the past year are going to repeat themselves except this time with twice the intensity:(

I recently applied for the Snowflake SWE Intern position for both the Warsaw and Berlin locations. After applying, I received the OA and the Chakra AI interview invite.

I’ve completed the OA for both locations, but the Chakra AI interview is still pending. Could anyone who has gone through the process share what kind of questions are asked in the Chakra AI interview?

Also, if you’ve completed both the OA and Chakra AI interview, have you received any updates? What are the next steps in the hiring process after these rounds?
