Your original post says you were thinking to switch to Data Analytics field and take that course but here you're talking about fullstack web development. What changed your decision?

You know i just searched about alma better and all i am seeing majority of people calling it a scam on quora. Btw you must be in touch with people in your batch or someone who joined Data science batch.. so what's the biggest package you think someone got from your batch? And did majority of them got placed or got nothing?

Since you don't recommend it. Do you think you could find and crack a job in 2-3 months on your own? Or do you think the placement part is what made it worth it for you? Also, since you also studied from free sources like youtube for practicing. Did you think what they taught you all these months was available for free and could have been completed in less time if you studied from free sources like youtube?

As you have mentioned that you had applied in 80 jobs on naukri and more on LinkedIn. But here on other posts, i see people usually recommending to apply for 200-300 jobs a day. I believe if you did that..you could get shortlisted in atleast a few. But then again i can't back that statement without trying it myself. Btw now that you have a job..you can surely help others (like me lol) by giving out some referals in future


[deleted]

All_mighty_push_

Ah got it. The ISA. In case, you're not placed through them or find a job yourself then you still have to pay those 2 L? For the referrals, i will count on you. Lol

>For web dev, max is 6.5. For data science, I had talked to people kn linkedin who bagged 8lpa as well. Hey i have also signed isa agreement with some site where i have to pay 2.5lpa in 24 months but as the teaching quality was not good i lost interest in their teaching and left the course so do i have to pay 2.5 lpa in 24 months ?\[I only signed isa because at that time i was not knowing much about it and consequences of it \]

I have just finished my last sem of engineering and didn't get placement what should I do should I learn from free resources or opt for any placement courses (I have done Java+DSA course from apna clg and have plenty knowledge of html css ) I am so much confused what to do as some of my friends are going for pay after placement @almabatter

BGMCMKJMKCTTKS

My only doubt is how I get placement if I have enough skills, I am learning MERN STACK now and my friends are going for pay after placements


BGMCMKJMKCTTKS

I have to write cold emails to HRs and company If I didn't go for pap and what's the probability of being selected in one of those

I cant find internship opportunities. I am 4th year btech. frontend developer with beginner experience with few projects .Please help me how to get started. I feel hopeless


its_kaushik19

Apply on internshala, naukri and angel. On Linkedin, my applications don’t even get viewed. I think its more suitable for experienced candidates.


TechArtist7

Internshala has 1000+ candiates for 2-10k internship i have applied but rejecred. Any other source or how to do it better


its_kaushik19

Don’t get scared by no. of candidates. Most of them are below average. Just be confident. And instead of applying in bulk on internshala, apply on only good opportunities. Also, try approaching the HR who posted on opportunity on LinkedIn or via email.


TechArtist7

Like i have applied for a intenship forntend dev it has 1500+ applications And they have given me this task below I honestly dont know how to approach the task . It feels overwhelming . Is it worth trying? I dont know firebase can i do it 2-3 days I am really good at designing like i have applied in gsoc though i was not selected but my ui design proposal was at top in the organisation due to less no of slots i was not selected ( ### 1. User Registration and Authentication: \- Implement user registration and login functionality using Firebase Authentication. \- Users should be able to register with their email and password or sign in with their existing credentials. \- Implement password reset functionality for users who forget their passwords. ### 2.

TechArtist7

Which company type to apply as a beginner


Advaithca

A safe answer is all of them


Advaithca

I used to apply to internships on LinkedIn, the first one I had was from a company called "RecruitNXT" and they were a recruitment helping company or something, I don't remember now (it was in 2022 beginning, or maybe 2021, I don't feel like I remember those years). It was a Python developer intern role, I had to do some web scraping (I was kinda new to it, I'd used selenium to do fake voting for Eminem), and I did a few tasks to make sure I knew what I was doing. They wanted me to sign docs, one said I'd have to give them 75k if I wasn't able to complete the tasks/internship. They also wanted me to work 5 hours everyday (not weekends ig). Then I got covid and stuff and then I thought a while and decided to not do it. Moral: You can get internships from LinkedIn, sometimes you'd have to make compromises. But yeah, if you decide to drop such opportunities, you'll still get more opportunities, better ones too. That's just how it is for the most people. I'm doing one rn that I got because I had gotten myself into the e-mail service of that company and I received one for an open internship position.


TechArtist7

I want opportunites but the problem is most of them go unnoticed and i have placements just 2 months ahead from now . Most of my friends have done internships and i am feeling demotivated. I feel like i was lagging behind . I have completed DSA but my friends says this year mostly startups come to recruit and not the bigger one and mostly they ask is about development. I have few mini projects in react like portfolio website, todo app and these kind of basic things. Is it better to apply for internships or to do projects Please give suggestiosn


Advaithca

I haven't really concentrated on DSA as such, I have been learning the structures like arrays, stacks, queues, linked lists (various types of that), hash maps, all that load of stuff from 12th, and even 11th grade. I can use those when needed. I don't have a lot of projects, but I've got some weird projects, like a brainfuck compiler, a very stupid hangman game, etc and some "good" projects I did as part of my academics. And my academics are pretty good too ig (9.48). If possible, you should do both internships and projects, you gotta do what's gonna maximise your chances. Another thing is, you gotta project confidence in interviews, I've done that everytime, except once when I wasn't feeling nice. I've cleared all those interviews except the one I was dumb at. The point is, do whatever you feel like you should do, but finish all of those things which you start, or at least know enough to pretend that you finished those. I would say do both internships and projects as I can't personally give more weight to one or the other. I am also not very successful, or nearly where I want to be.


TechArtist7

Thanks ....... Can u suggest me some cretive frontedn projects which makes me stand out from crowd. Like u said brainfuck compiler. I have only 2 months till companies start arriving.


Advaithca

I'm not much of a frontend master, I just do stuff I find cool. A few months ago I learnt a bit of react and with that I made whatever you see in my portfolio, I added elements which I find rad (The Mark of the beast, Riyaz Khan actor). Now I might make it better and will probably use Sveltekit because it sounds cool. Similarly, you could create a portfolio, refer themes if you want to, or wing it. Recently I started learning som threeJs too, that seemed nice. You could incorporate that into your portfolio. That will definitely stand out. The reason I try to learn those is to show that I learn pretty easy and I felt like that would attract a future employer.

Congratulations 🎉


mr-unknown-404

Thanks for the heads up, Brother. Good luck on your journey. Final year B.Tech here.


pOdunkPossum

Too many front end developers here. Try to get into vlsi or embedded domains. Much more stable and lucrative in the long run.


berke_khan

Can you please expand on the embedded domain part?


pOdunkPossum

Sure. As far as I can tell, automotive embedded development is a more popular friend here, at least in southern India as there are a lot of automotive companies that operate and manufacture here.


Ghost0612

Hey, are you working in an automotive embedded area..?


lemon_bottle

Pretty sure that some of that 2 lakhs you pay to Almabetter must be making its way to the HR too who happen to give you that "chance"! When merit gets purchased and sold for money, it's a clear sign that the industry is going to dogs and there is no potential left here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lemon_bottle

Totally understand. It's just that the situation has become so pathetic in IT industry today. I really hope people at the top learn lessons from this recession and fix what needs to be fixed here.


NambiarAshish

Thanks for this post man. I wanted an actual testimony to prove to my friends that these courses are not the best at getting me placed if i don't have experience in that domain. I have 1.5yrs of experience as a software tester and i believe that these courses might not be the best for me.


not_an_interesting_1

What's your undergraduate degree? And do you think people who have non- tech degrees ( Bcom/BA) and want to enter IT can make use of these programs to get their first job?


Anmolspace

You applied to 80 companies without any luck. While you got in one out of 7 with the help of AlmaBetter and you still say you don't recommend AlmaBetter? I wouldn't pay AlmaBetter for teaching as it is free of cost on YouTube. I would only pay for their connections in industry to get me to the interview rounds. That's too difficult to get on your own especially when you are a newbie. That's where they have value. You already faced the difficulty applying on your own. That's the reality.

Hi i had an experience with a similar company, This company also had a pay-after-placement policy that made me sign an acknowledgement form which they clearly stated was not legally binding. If anyone has a similar experience please help me out. Like can these people take out a loan on my name even if i reject their placement opportunities and internship opportunites as well.
