I am currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Okta, and previously worked at Bank of New York, where I started my journey as an intern and grew into a full-time software developer. My journey wasn’t easy, I come from a college with zero on-campus placements, which meant everything I achieved came through off-campus hustle. I applied to 100+ companies, faced rejections, learned from them, and eventually secured 8+ offers during my college years. Over time, I’ve interviewed with almost every major tech company and high-growth startup, including Google, Amazon, Flipkart, Salesforce, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Walmart, PhonePe, Paytm, JPMorgan Chase,BNY, Rubrik, and many more. After gaining 3 years of experience, I again went through an intense interview phase, appearing for 50+ companies before making my switch to Okta. Because of this journey, I deeply understand: - What companies actually look for (beyond just DSA) - How to structure preparation for maximum results - How to handle rejections and improve strategically - How to present yourself in interviews to stand out
