Ex-FAANG here. At a minimum stay on top of news in the tech industry… sites like TechCrunch or The Verge are good for high level tech news

Other than that just show up with an open mind and be ready to unlearn some of your consulting habits

Interested to know what resources others recommend too. I think it would be good to know if you’re expected to use SQL (that’s what I used at Uber) or any languages/tools/programs to prep if it helps.

What’s the best way to include a new role on your resume that does not begin until next summer? I’m asking this because IB recruitment is in the spring, and I thought it would be meaningful to include it. I am mainly curious about the bullet points. Would it be valid to not have any or to just have one that says something like “Accepted offer on Nov”?

I have applied to over 600 Companies, attended 15 Interviews, and got 0 Offers. I'm in a mental state of despair because of my situation.

I have been working in a startup for the last 1 year as a Full-Stack Core PHP Developer while I was in my final year of engineering, and I'm losing my job soon because of their -ve growth. I graduated last month with good skills in Web development, Digital/Social Media Marketing. I'm the only provider in household.

Any kind help/reference is appreciated!

Hey fishes,

I got an offer from a company below is the compensation layout. Can you all tell me what will be the in-hand salary per month, will it be 49k?
I can see that EPF for employer is also deducted from my salary so this is not correct based on the EPF Act, is there some other thing which is not correct in the given Annexure?

Thank you!
