You are a machine, right now I find you the best and most complete role model as a prospective CS student starting in fall. Your work ethic is insane and you possess leadership qualities imo.
That's a little bit too much LMAO, my work ethic is alright, but thank you for the high praise
Keep up the great work! I love your videos.
Huge fan of your videos!
I watched this video at the beginning of the year and now I just finished freshman year and am starting an internship next week!
Congrats!
Thanks for making this really helpful video! Just a small question: do you think the geographical location of my university will limit my chances of finding a freshman internship?
goals af
absolute gold
great advice! I'm surprised with your coding background/expertise that this is the first internship you got! did you make a serious effort before hand? red hat is a well known brand so huge congrats and are you nervous, excited?
Nah I didn't make an effort beforehand because there was no point, companies don't really hire people under the age of 18.
Is Red Hat the Linux company? Either way, congrats and keep up the great content!
Hey! I must say this is great video and thank you for uploading. Can you tell me where you made that list of applied internships? Is that notion app?
Yes the notion app.
@@SiddhantDubey great! Thank you so much:))
What's a good way to come up with side projects ? I'm technically coming into college as a sophomore despite being my first year because of dual credit, however I'm only taking an intro cs class and will get more cs classes next semester so I am unsure of what to put in my resume. Any suggestions ?
Hmm, I would suggest going through this github repo: github.com/practical-tutorials/project-based-learning
@@SiddhantDubey Thanks for the github link man. I'm thinking of following a few of the tutorials int it and create some projects but I'm worried that it might hinder my ability to work on a project on my own.
Hi , I have a question ,the 200 companies you have applied to , were in your town or you applied for remote aswell regarding the internship ?
I didn't care about location
Can you do how to get a full time job for a Master's Students
This was def helpful - did they tell you if it was going to be a behavioral or technical interview? Was it typically behavioral or technical that came first?
Yeah they'll tell you. Technical interviews have usually come first in my experience.
Hi Siddhant,
Currently an incoming freshmen with limited coding knowledge looking to apply for freshmen/sophomore software engineering internships. You mentioned that we should practice Leetcode before the interview, but understanding data structures and algorithms is necessary for these Leet Code questions. Is it still possible for me to apply and get accepted into these internships without the knowledge of data structures and algorithms, or should I wait until I self-learn the course work before applying.
I doubt it. You can’t pass interviews and OAs without data structures and algorithms class
What do you recommend now I’m in your same position
Just commenting to say that I would love to see a video critiquing ur resume!
I'll post an in-depth video soon then!
Hi, I'm curious which companies that you applied gave you a chance for interview in your freshman year? Can you list the companies? Thanks!
Google, Red hat, Mr. Cooper and a local atlanta company.
Hey Siddhant,
Your video was super informative brother. It's always good to see what other people experienced
In terms of your ability to get an interview, did your program already teach Data Structures + Algorithms in your first year because I'm assuming most of those companies require a basic understanding of DSA before the technical interview?
Most universities teach DSA by like end of 2nd year or 3rd year, I'm assuming.
Thanks bro !
I get most of it, but I only have nothing to put as an experience in my resume. So, what shall I do?
Make projects
@@SiddhantDubey can I also add my paper presentations in this column?
Do you still have that internship tracker notion template?
tbh just do it in an excel sheet, very simple setup you just need to remember to do it
Was it paid?
yes
Speak Little indian accent too pls ,you are from India
