Hey everyone!!

I’m looking to form a small, serious group of coding buddies to learn and grow together.

A bit about me:
I just completed my 1st year in CSE
I know Python basics and a bit of HTML/CSS
Currently starting my DSA journey

Goal:
Master DSA step by step
Prepare for FAANG / top product-based companies
Build consistency and strong problem-solving skills
Work on projects together over time

What I’m looking for:
Beginners or early learners (no need to be advanced)
Serious and consistent people (not just joining and disappearing)
Willing to do regular check-ins and hold each other accountable
Interested in learning, improving, and building together

If you’re interested, feel free to comment or DM. Let’s learn, build, and stay consistent together 🚀

People who recently got shortlisted/interview calls from FAANG, unicorns, or strong product companies - what kind of projects and profile did you have on your resume?

Not asking for resume reviews specifically. I’m mainly trying to understand what level of projects/experience is actually getting shortlisted in the current market.

Would be helpful if you could mention:

• company/role
• internship or full-time
• project complexity/stack
• internship experience
• CGPA (optional)
• anything you think helped your shortlist

Trying to benchmark realistically because online advice feels very disconnected from actual hiring lately.
