In 2017, when I joined a Tier-3 college for my BTech (major-computer science), I was very very very very sad. (Probably can’t describe in words). :(

I thought that I definitely deserved better. Entire first year, I was extremely sad. Although, I scored the highest in the entire batch, still I was empty inside. 
You won’t believe if I tell you that I even tried to change college after my first year.

But I didn’t change my college, and continued in the same college. (lmk if you want to know that story)

Now, second year, I got to know from a friend who was in a renowned university that we have to do Data structures & algorithms for cracking a high paying job. 

And that was the day I pledged to myself that I won’t let my college come in between my dreams. 

I consistently practiced Data structures & algorithms, build projects, made a great resume & I got 18 LPA CTC job in Walmart (off-campus) right after my graduation. This was more than I ever imagined.

The day I got my offer, I realised one thing: Trust the process ✨. Universe is rooting for you 🫵

If you want to crack high paying job, you’ll need to do DSA, development & hackathons.

If you want the resources, or DSA/resume roadmap, COMMENT “faith” & I’ll share with you in the DM :)

If you want to see more such motivational, tech content, feel free to follow thatcodergirlie along on my journey. 

Wishing you all the best, xoxo
