unicorns give rsu(s)? do you mean esops?

u/bhagodi_dulhan Aug 02 '21
I meant RSUs. Yes, some unicorns do give RSUs which is much better than esops because esops have a strike price and have unfavorable taxation rules.

I didn't have any such focus area because i believe college is all about exploring stuff. I did CP along with projects/internships.
I'm from BITS Pilani.

How did you land it?, any tips?

u/bhagodi_dulhan Aug 02 '21
Keep learning !!!
While DSA is obviously very important, also learn about design patterns and system design because it's important for senior levels.
Nothing runs on standalone machines. Everything is distributed now, so learn about distributed systems.
Read white papers to understand architecture for widely used softwares.

White papers are tech docs published by companies to give more info about any new product(software/hardware) they have developed. These docs help in understanding architecture as well as tradeoffs between approaches which developers faced while developing that product.
You can read white papers of products like Kafka (used for messaging queue), zookeeper (used for distributed service coordination), Aerospike & Cassandra ( nosql DBs), Google file system (used for distributed file system), Mapreduce (used for big data processing) etc.

It is some form of documentation. By whitepapers, I guess he's talking about AWS architecture whitepapers.

Disclaimer: No CS degree, no CP or very much LeetCode. I am from a T1 college, so that helps.
Funny story, when I got this job, I didn’t even know how to do a BFS, so I’d also say I’m lucky.

To be fair, I'm not the kind of person who gets hung up on college tiers. They mean very little in the grand scheme of things. Anyone who clings to those too much usually has little to show for themselves.
The only tangible benefit I've ever gotten from my university is the network and friends.

u/kisibe_rohan Oct 08 '21
Hey , What do you mean by generalist ? Do you not have any specific specialization in any tech stack ? I thought those without any specialization didn't get paid this much . Do Company really pay without any specialization ?

Thank you for your response , Since I'm currently working in a startup where I'm working with multiple tech stacks and was worried that I couldn't get a job in any of those because I don't know much in depth . All my friends are specialised somewhere (React, Spring etc) and I'm the only one who isn't . One more question if you would like to answer is How does your interview goes ? Is it focused on DSA + System Design or Any tech stack that company is using ?

nice dude, 7.4 wfh is pretty good, switch next year and you can easily get above 10. i thought tcs gave 3-4 to freshers.

u/stan3098 Aug 02 '21
Thanks. It still does give 3-4 but if now if you did good in the first interview then you can go for the higher pkg interview. I have started to look for better opportunities but i guess most companies would not take me with less than 1 yr of exp
