I’m a 3rd year student from a tier 3 college, and honestly the on-campus placements at my college aren’t great.

I’m really interested in Computer Networks and I’m seriously considering Cisco as a target for internships/jobs.

I’m not starting from zero, so I wanted some advice from people who have actually gone through the process:

* How should I prepare?
* What topics should I focus on?
* How important are DSA, CN, OS, DBMS, etc.?
* Are there any mandatory certifications?
* What kind of projects would actually help?
* How do you get shortlisted for Cisco if your college doesn’t have great opportunities?
* And how is the work/life at Cisco?

Would really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have interned or currently work at Cisco.

Pls help a fellow student out 😭

I’m currently learning Computer Networks from TUF Striver and I also have some experience with C++.

I want to start building a few networking projects alongside the course, mainly to actually understand the concepts better and have some solid projects for my resume.

I’m looking for suggestions for projects at different levels, something like:

• A relatively easy project to get started with
• A medium-level project involving a few networking concepts
• A more challenging project that combines multiple topics from Computer Networks

I’d prefer projects that I can actually build from scratch and learn from, rather than just following a tutorial.

Would love to hear what projects you guys would recommend.

Its been 1 and half year since I have started going to gym with no expectations
It was only to gain some muscle

I started my weight loss journey at 90kgs and played badminton everyday and with calorie deficit diet I had finally come down to 70kgs and due to knee pains I had then joined the gym and

But for the first 6 months under no guidance I maintained no diet and the max protein I eat was 50gm (my bw was 73kgs and skinny fat personality)
The only reason I went there was cuz it was just 800 per month

But after 6months shifted to another good one
And there the trainer asked me to increase my protein intake to 150gms per day
I had to meal prep everyday
Cooking chicken on my own after clg and gym and all
It continued with very less consistency as it was very difficult to convince my parents for chicken and eggs everyday and also to hit 150 goal I started eating junk also and then it just continued for another 1 years
Saw barely any results (current weight 82 and still skinny fat)
THE STRENGTH DEFFF INCREASED

And then due to some other reasons shifted to another gym
And have been continuing it here
Again with a very on and off diet as its really hard for me to get protein in my house
But I still continued and am
But atp
Seeing no growth and asking money for gym and protein while being in a very bad shape
I feel very ashamed(atp I even feel like blaming my body like is it not able to consume the protein from the food ? Is anything internally wrong ?)
So idk I do feel like giving up
Saw my friends other day
They dont lift more than me or have a better form and mind muscle connection
But they got a great body
Everything in my life is depressing me and
I dont want to continue this
I genuinely wanted to even pursue this hobby as a career too
