I have had a tough journey myself. Learnt a lot in my journey from grabbing a placement at Mercedes-Benz from a Tier 3 college to recently making a switch to Walmart Global Tech and getting offers from few more MNCs inspite having 3 months of Notice Period. If you are someone who is going through a similar phase, I might be able to help you fasten your progress by making you eliminate the mistakes that slowed me down.
