Hello everyone, currently SDE 2 at rippling for a few months, current TC is 70LPA exp is 3 years 10 months. Recently signed letter at Microsoft for L62 (ai core team), in process for google L4 cloud team matching (has been over a month, got 0 team matching interviews yet) and got an offer for mongo DB sde 3 (agentic ai team).

If people have idea regarding teams then any help would be appreciated or should i wait for google team matching (no idea how long it might take)

Mongo breakdown:

Base: 49L Stocks: 67.5k USD for 3 years Variable: N/A Joining Bonus: 4L Relocation bonus: 2.2L Location: Gurgaon

Microsoft breakdown:

Base: 42L Stocks: 90k USD for 4 years Variable: 20% (10-15% on median) Joining Bonus: 10L first year and 6L second year Relocation: N/A Location: Bengaluru

My hometown is Delhi, so I'd prefer Gurgaon. Can someone please share the culture for mongo and if there is a pip culture there. I have a few friends at Microsoft so know a thing or two about it but not aware at all about mongo.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Started off with cpp as people suggested it is best for DSA.

But I wanna go for aiml and for that I'll have to learn advanced python, so should I use that for DSA as well and not learn cpp or should I learn both?

Like should I only do python for 4 years in btech or also learn cpp for DSA?

ANY OTHER ADVICE FOR ME WOULD ALSO BE APPRECIATED.

Hello guys my 5 sem is about to start and I have done dsa in c++ and about 200 leet code questions and I want to learn java and spring boot, can someone suggest some good courses for it ..

Hi

Im having 8 years of experience and preparing for senior roles in google.

Have anyone any idea, past experience which can help me?

I want to prepare CS core subjects quickly for interviews and OAs.
I just want to know if the tuf+ core subject lectures are somewhat decent and not a complete waste of money.

I know that most of the topics are available on the internet for free but its mostly gate/college syllabus oriented which I have already covered for college exams.

This scam firm has revoked full time offers for the 3rd time in last 8 years!

Please stay away from their so called lucrative packages , Trilogy Univ Bootcamp held in Dubai!

​

They campus hire from almost all NITs/IIITs/IIT in India

​

If someone is hiring do let me know I have been affected by this (Ping me for resume and other details - Profile Tier 1 college ; summer Internship with Trilogy Innovations)

Hi everyone,

I'd love to hear from people who made the jump from a Tier 2/3 company to a Tier 1 product company.

If you've been through that journey, would you mind sharing your story? I'm interested in everything—how you started, what motivated you, how you prepared, the struggles you faced, mistakes you made, how long it took, and what finally helped you crack the interviews.

If possible, I'd also love to know:

- What was your tech stack before switching?

- Did you continue with the same stack or learn something new?

- How much did DSA, system design, and your tech stack matter?

- If you had to start over with around 3 years of experience, what would you prioritize?

I'm currently on a similar path, and I think learning from real journeys would be much more valuable than generic advice.

Thanks in advance to everyone who shares their experience!

I have the following in mind already:

• Segment Tree
• BIT
• Binary Lifting
• Digit DP
• DP on Trees

I have around 2 weeks before oncampus intern tests, so what topics would you recommend as a must?

My Profile: 300+ solved on Leetcode, 500+ solved on Codeforces, Pupil on Codeforces rn.

I'm practising strivers sheet. Anything apart from it you guys would like to advise? I know this is only a mock. But, still I want to give my best here before the actual inv which IG will be after 2 weeks.

HR said there will be 4 rounds: DSA, Googlyness, 2 onsite DSA before team matching.

This is my first Google inv. Any suggestion or advise?

However if anyone of you have recently appeared for this role, can you pls guide me what exactly to prepare given very short period of time .

This is for India.

Haa anyone appeared for expedia interview for ml engineer II( data engineering heavy role)?

I have my first HM round scheduled after few days. If anyone has appeared recently, I would like to know what was covered in the interview .

Recently graduated college(may month) I’m working at this startup for over a year now as a software engineering intern they pay 20k. The startup said they can’t give full time offer so I have to continue internship or leave. But the testing role is not my domain and I don’t wanna end up being stuck in manual testing for rest of career. Idk what to do? Any suggestions ?

I am third year btech student,

For the last 2 years I have never practiced coding, just did surface level python syntax.

I understand the basics but now when i want to start solving coding problems on leetcode,

I realise i can't do even two sum questions by myself.

I started solving questions yesterday, and not a single question i solved myself, i used ai to direct me, teach me.

I feel like i know nothing, and with that I'm feeling anxious 😭😭😭

Here are some questions for experts from me :

1. how did you start practicing problems on lc

2. how did you manage to understand problem

3. how was your starting days and initial phase.

Which advice would you all like to give me.

I know its shameful to startibg this late but i can't waste more time regretting.

I'm open to chat so if anyone wants to help me, please feel free to reach out.
