What’s your approach, I go almost blank and struggle to get going. How should i prepare for this?

hi, guys

almost 21 F here. I sometimes get pretty anxious about falling behind, not getting a job, being dependent on my parents until very late. and all sorts of anxiety triggering things you can think of. In my eyes, everybody has a job at 22 and I mean at least started to sort their life. Looking at my plans I wanna pursue masters and do more stuff that ain't getting completed before 24-25 .

So this fear of falling behind my peers is real. Although my parents never pressurized me, idk this eats me up. How to overcome this feeling, how did you guys tackle with this fear of yours, would love to get some insights in the comments. I know I have a very skewed and boxed up perspective, but that is what I wanna change otherwise I ain't getting anywhere, please help me do that.

Hey everyone,

I’m a first-year IT student from Ahmedabad and just came across this hackathon happening at L D College of Engineering called तर्कShaastra 2k26.

It’s a 24-hour offline hackathon with around ₹1.75 lakh prize pool (₹72k, ₹51k, ₹30k + goodies).

Structure is:

•Round 1: Online aptitude + coding quiz

•Round 2: 24-hour hackathon (if shortlisted)

I’ve never participated in a hackathon before, and honestly I’m not super confident in my coding yet (basic Python + some DSA).

So I wanted to ask:

•Is it worth spending time on this as a beginner?

•Do first-year students realistically gain anything from these?

•Or is it better to focus on skills first and try later?

Would really appreciate honest advice 🙏

I am getting some calls from naukri, got OA’s from 2 companies at the end of march

Hi everyone,

I recently finished Round 1 and Round 2 for an Amazon India SDE Internship (On-Campus). I cleared the OA, and due to some scheduling shifts, my first round was offline and the second was online.

What’s bothering me is the format. In both rounds, I was interviewed by Hiring Managers (HMs) rather than SDEs. Both rounds followed this exact structure:

Duration: 60 Minutes.

Behavioral/LP: ~50 minutes. They went incredibly deep into my STAR stories (projects, leadership roles).

Coding: Only the last 5–10 minutes. The questions were very "Easy" (think basic Array/Dictionary manipulations).

Meanwhile, all my classmates who were shortlisted got the "standard" experience: 20-30 mins of LPs followed by LeetCode Medium/Hard questions on Graphs, DP, and Trees.

My concerns:

Why did I get two HMs while others got SDEs?

Does the lack of a "real" DSA challenge mean they aren't serious about my candidacy?

The HMs seemed to be from Amazon Pay (Customer Experience/Complaints side). Does this team-specific context change the interview bar?

Has anyone else experienced a "Manager-only" loop for an SDE role? Does this mean they are prioritizing culture fit, or did I just get a "lighter" technical bar?

Guys, can you please guide me how to prepare for arcesium OA or interview, whatever process happens. I am aiming it currently,

A detailed suggestion or your experience would be appreciated.

any guidance? it will be my first round

So, I'm currently building my DBMS project (4th sem).

My project is a GitHub like system, and for that I have to make a simple console based application in Java.

Now the problem is, my DB contains 28 tables (basically 28 entities). So if I try to follow a proper professional like file structure in Java (like Models, DAO, Service, Validator, UI, etc..), I end up with 28 model files, 28 service files, 28 DAO files, and UI files… which feels like too much for a DBMS project. It doesn’t look clean or well-structured.

So what should I do? What kind of file structure should I follow?

OR should i go with this file structure..?

(Also, this is one of my Resume project, that's why i'm just scared...😅)

UPD: i don't know why i'm not getting any replies...🙂🥲

Hi everyone, I'm currently a bachelor of technology student at a top tier indian institution.

I just see seniors/people talking on how to build 2-3 solid and impactful projects for resume, and they usually say, first select a particular domain/niche of CS by exploring everything and see your interests. And then, after you've found your interests, dive deep into it and make 2-3 solid projects which are impactful and solve some real-world problem too, with user engagement. This works in current job market as well.

My question is how do you dive deep once you've selected a particular niche, say AI/ML ?

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been selected for an AMTS role at Salesforce and I have 1+ year of experience. I wanted to learn more about internal career opportunities and team changes at Salesforce.

I have a few questions:

•	How are the internal career opportunities at Salesforce?

•	How easy is it to change teams internally?

•	Do you need to already be at the MTS level for an internal transfer to an MTS role?

•	Is it possible to move from AMTS to MTS internally?

•	Can this process happen without the manager’s involvement, and how does it usually work?

My main aim is to become MTS asap so yeah, please do comment and let me know. Thanks.

Hey everyone this is my first post on reddit.

Currently I am in the 2nd sem of 1st year Btech CSE. Done about 200 questions on leetcode from striver's a-z (till graphs and a bit of dp). Now I want to try competitive programming (cp) as everyone recommends it for Faang/top pbc's.

So I have started with CP31 sheet. But I am confused whether I should go for CP or continue with dsa only. I know I have 3 more years but I don't want to waste my time on irrelevant things.

Because these days OAs are getting harder and they say ... do CP. So should I deep dive into cp or are traditional leetcode questions enough ? .... idk whether it's the correct sub to ask this ...
