00:00:00
If anyone is demotivating us or if they're commenting that
00:00:05
You cannot take more hike than this, it'll be like this,
00:00:08
you can only join with less hike
00:00:10
you'll not be able to get a good offer.
00:00:11
Then we can tell them, if not you then someone else
00:00:15
if not them, then someone else
00:00:17
there're lakhs of companies in the world, dear, you're not alone.
00:00:25
Perfect!
00:00:25
I want to know, Aman, what was your starting CTC?
00:00:30
When you got the opportunity after BCA
00:00:33
its not only with you but many others, like those who're working in TCS
00:00:38
or if they're working in Infosys, those who're working in any service based company
00:00:41
get the training in Java, on front-end development
00:00:44
and the training is even completed properly.
00:00:46
When the time of project allocation comes, then its based on such a project
00:00:50
which doesn't have any relation with the training.
00:00:52
If there was a 90 days notice period, then did you resign earlier or
00:00:57
resigned after taking the offer?
00:00:59
This is my first question.
00:01:00
People are very shy, just like asking a girl's hand for marriage.
00:01:04
You're only asking about your rights of the salary
00:01:06
that's why I say, you need to be shy.
00:01:08
Tell them with confidence that....
00:01:10
I started preparing for React, I started learning for React
00:01:14
so, after doing core JavaScript concept
00:01:18
I took the project of React.
00:01:20
Can you provide the list about which questions were asked from you as a front-end developer
00:01:25
Not everyone is a lover who is up late night, some are coders as well.
00:01:32
Welcome to a new podcast.
00:01:35
Today's guest has an inspiring story.

Today he's working in as a front-end developer in US based MNC.
00:01:47
He started his career from Infosys. He only did BCA, not MCA.
00:01:52

00:02:54
Let's talk with Aman and get to know his entire experience.
00:03:06
So, Aman welcome to our youtube channel.
00:03:08
First of all, thank you so much for joining with us early morning.
00:03:12
Its morning time, we woke you up early. Weekend is going on, it has begun.
00:03:16
So, I won't take much of your time.
00:03:18
And your journey is very inspiring. You worked at Infosys for 3 years.
00:03:22
You worked on support development projects.
00:03:24
And today you're a front-end developer.
00:03:27
And the main thing in your journey is that you did BCA
00:03:29
after that you didn't do MCA
00:03:31
I would like to know that.
00:03:32
So over to you Aman,
00:03:33
You can first start with your introduction, your academic background
00:03:36
where do you belong from
00:03:39
Please tell us a little about you to our audience.
00:03:42
Please!
00:03:44
Firstly, thanks Ajay for giving me this opportunity.
00:03:47
So, my name is Amanjeet.
00:03:48
And I'm from Karnal, Haryana.
00:03:51
So, I completed my bachelors from a tier 3 college
00:03:55
after that I got placement through the college itself.
00:04:00
I joined Infosys and worked there for 3 years.
00:04:03
In support role & also in development role.
00:04:07
So, few months back I just had my very first switch,
00:04:10
currently I'm working as a front-end engineer
00:04:14
in a US based company.
00:04:16
Very nice!
00:04:17
So, didn't it occur in your mind that you should do MCA as well
00:04:20
but why will it come, you got placement during the college in a good MNC.
00:04:25
So, you might've thought, let's work.
00:04:28
Yeah!
00:04:29
Well, as I completed my BCA, I had the same question in my mind that
00:04:36
should I pursue my masters or join the job.
00:04:40
So, I consulted with a lot of people as well.
00:04:43
Everyone has their own different views, some said that first pursue masters
00:04:48
then join the job, then you'll get a good package.
00:04:51
So, it was that but I thought if I have to do masters then
00:04:56
I should earn & pay myself
00:04:59
and then do masters.
00:05:01
Then I had offers from multiple companies, mostly service based companies like
00:05:07
TCS, Infosys, Wipro
00:05:10
So, I saw good opportunity with Infosys
00:05:13
so I preferred joining there.
00:05:17
So, many people have the same question that if they can become software engineer after BCA.
00:05:23
I receive multiple queries, on Linkedln, anywhere
00:05:27
So, yes we can become software engineer after BCA as well
00:05:33
like as I joined Infosys, the starting role that I got was of Operational Executive.
00:05:38
I got promoted from Operational Executive to Senior Operational Executive.
00:05:43
After that I became a software engineer.
00:05:46
So, if we talk about skills, nobody asks in the company what your degree is
00:05:52
have you done BCA or B. Tech,
00:05:55
Main thing is that it's giving you opportunity, if you're getting it
00:05:58
then you can surely take it.
00:05:59
Perfect! I agree with your thoughts.
00:06:04
As I've also done BCA & MCA
00:06:06
and if I had got such an opportunity after BCA,
00:06:09
maybe even I would've done that as well.
00:06:11
Because, if you'll go for MCA then 3 years
00:06:15
and instead if you'll have 3 years of experience in IT
00:06:18
and you can also do MCA side by side.
00:06:20
So, if you've that experience then it'll help you a lot to switch in future
00:06:25
the one that he did and with a good hike
00:06:27
today in his current position he's working with 4x hike.
00:06:32
And as he mentioned, its a US based company.
00:06:35
I would like to know, Aman, what was your starting CTC in Infosys?
00:06:40
When you got the opportunity after BCA
00:06:45
Okay!
00:06:45
So, my starting package was of 2.2 LPA
00:06:49
Okay!
00:06:49
I joined with such low LPA, this is also a decision that you want to join with such low package
00:06:57
because that time, you feel like what'll happen with this salary.
00:07:01
But still, I took this decision that if I'm getting the opportunity
00:07:04
the experience that I'd have in masters
00:07:07
I thought that I'll get more than that in the company and it happened the same.
00:07:10
Then I worked there for 3 years and got a good experience in that company
00:07:15
and I got its benefit as well
00:07:17
after 3 years.
00:07:18
Perfect!
00:07:19
Which type of work were you doing there at Infosys?
00:07:22
Although Infosys is a very good service based company
00:07:25
but what happens is - some have different domains, like airline domain,
00:07:30
insurance domain, banking domain
00:07:32
so, you might be working in a domain as well.
00:07:36
Please tell us about your 3 years journey, how were things working there
00:07:40
how much did you do support and then got the chance of development
00:07:43
when did that interest start to build up?
00:07:46
Okay!
00:07:47
So, firstly as we join Infosys, we have our training
00:07:52
therefore I had 3 months of training.
00:07:54
During the training, I completed it and topped as well.
00:07:58
Although, I have always been a backbencher.
00:08:01
So, its a motivation for them as well that even a backbencher can
00:08:05
take up a good position in a job.
00:08:08
Its not that backbenchers are weak in studies
00:08:12
or anything like that.
00:08:13
I was always a backbencher and even topped in studies.
00:08:17
So, after I topped, I got the Pune Location.
00:08:21
I stayed in Pune. After that what happens is we're offered a project
00:08:26
through TPD.
00:08:27
So, I was offered multiple projects
00:08:30
which were mostly support projects.
00:08:32
I rejected the first 2-3 projects, but after that I felt that
00:08:37
there's a policy that you cannot reject after these much projects.
00:08:41
So, when I got mostly support projects then I took the decision that let's try working in support as well.
00:08:49
I got a support project in Health care domain which was US based as well.
00:08:54
So, we were giving support in a product of US, in their application.
00:08:59
As if there're any issues or if there're any incidents
00:09:03
or if little enhancement is needed.
00:09:05
Then, we had to work on that.
00:09:08
That time, we have 24 hours support, different employees worked in different shifts.
00:09:13
We were giving 24 hour support.
00:09:16
There're different types of incidents in it like SEV 1, SEV 2 , SEV3 so
00:09:21
based on those incidents
00:09:23
we've to respond to those incidents and resolve on all these things on this time.
00:09:28
Okay!
00:09:29
So, I worked for 1.5 years in support.
00:09:34
After that I got an opportunity in React JS because used to learn side by side.
00:09:41
So, as soon as I got the opportunity I thought that
00:09:44
I should try for this opportunity.
00:09:48
Then, as I started working on that project in which I got the opportunity
00:09:54
my interest slowly started to build up.
00:09:58
Then I changed form there.
00:10:01
Perfect!
00:10:02
You might've faced difficulties, like switching suddenly
00:10:07
in the development project
00:10:09
And I think we even talked on it, you even told that, in the beginning
00:10:11
you got small changes, minor changes
00:10:14
you became a little comfortable as well.
00:10:17
Yes!
00:10:18
So, in the starting I used to get small changes like, adding an input box,
00:10:25
setting its alignment.
00:10:27
Because there're small incidents that user raises to us that we require this, we need little changes
00:10:35
we need change in this component
00:10:37
I used to learn side by side from youtube.
00:10:40
I kept on learning and didn't take any paid course until now.
00:10:43
So, I think youtube is the best source for learning.
00:10:46
So, we can learn everything from youtube, if we want to.
00:10:49
There's a lot of content on youtube, earlier it wasn't there but now there's so much content
00:10:54
if you actually have the desire to do then you can learn a lot of things from youtube.
00:10:59
And, I found one more thing interesting that I learnt from you
00:11:03
for sure you were in support for 1.5 years but you were learning something
00:11:07
and I think the dot kept on connecting from there, then after Infosys after 1.5 years you got the opportunity
00:11:14
you worked a little.
00:11:16
Perfect!
00:11:16
So, What clicked in your mind to make your career transition from support to
00:11:21
Development? Didn't you have fun in support?
00:11:23
I think you might've learned something or the other while being in support for 1.5 years
00:11:26
or not OR was it boring OR you got totally fed up?
00:11:30
No! Its not at all boring but there were lot of things to learn in it.
00:11:34
Like email writing, interaction with client, requirement analysis,
00:11:41
understanding the requirement. Sometimes user doesn't completely describe it to us
00:11:47
that what is their requirement.
00:11:49
So, we need to set up call with them, collect entire requirement from them
00:11:53
and if that requirement isn't genuine
00:11:55
then we can even tell the user that its not possible to do that.
00:11:59
So, we can do that in other way.
00:12:01
So, I learnt all these things.
00:12:04
But its mostly repetitive work after some time
00:12:07
You've to do same type of analysis, resolving the same type of incident
00:12:12
and I had second shift, so I had to work in it until late night
00:12:17
Like they were US based, so most of the users were in their US based time
00:12:23
Taking calls with them late night, repetitive work
00:12:27
so, due to this I thought if I'm getting a chance right now, the opportunity
00:12:31
in React or JavaScript, so I kept on learning side by side
00:12:35
and on that basis I got the opportunity and then I did that.
00:12:39
By the way I was going to ask, why did you opt only for front-end development
00:12:43
its fine, you got work in Infosys after 1.5 years and worked.
00:12:48
Was there any specific instance from before that I want to go into front-end
00:12:51
or as you went on studying and suddenly you got a project in Infi
00:12:55
after 1.5 years, you did simple work in there.
00:12:58
You got interested more from there
00:13:00
so, why only front-end, why not any other thing like DEVOPS, Software testing
00:13:05
and back-end development?
00:13:07
Is there any reason for front-end?
00:13:10
So, they gave me a training for full stack.
00:13:15
Oh!
00:13:15
So, I was good at coding but when I got the project
00:13:20
that was of support
00:13:22
Do you know, Aman, Sorry to interrupt
00:13:24
Please do carry on this thing. Its not only with you but with lot of people
00:13:28
like the ones who're working in TCS, Infosys, in any service based company
00:13:33
get the training on Java
00:13:34
they get the training on front-end development
00:13:37
and they complete the training properly.
00:13:38
When it comes to project allocation, they go to such a project which isn't even connected with the training
00:13:46
Right!
00:13:47
Absolutely, Ajay! The same thing happened with me.
00:13:49
I got the training in TS, in dot net on full stack
00:13:52
and the project that I got was of support, so there wasn't any coding in it.
00:13:57
So, when I completed my 1.5 years. I was cut-off from coding
00:14:01
then it occurred in mind, if I can go into development or
00:14:06
what will happen in future?
00:14:09
But side by side, I say that you should keep on learning.
00:14:12
And then you can tell in the company that I acquired these skills
00:14:18
so, please allocate me a project on that basis.
00:14:22
So, the same thing happened with me.
00:14:23
I was working in support. I got a little worried that until when will I keep on doing this repetitive work.
00:14:34
So, now I have this chance to change.
00:14:37
So, on the basis of that I gave the interview in the company itself.
00:14:40
And there I got the opportunity.
00:14:43
So, why only front-end? I thought of doing full stack so I started JavaScript
00:14:49
After JavaScript, I did React.
00:14:51
After that I started MongoDB and Node
00:14:57
but after that I got most of my amazing opportunities in React
00:15:00
So, I used to get good projects in React therefore I thought that If I'm getting this opportunity
00:15:05
then I should start in it.
00:15:06
When I started, slowly my interest started building up then I went into front-end,
00:15:13
So, if I get more opportunities in future
00:15:16
for full stack then I'll surely do it.
00:15:18
So, before moving into the video, I've a very interesting news for all of you.
00:15:22
If you want to transition your career from Non-Tech to Tech
00:15:25
if you're thinking to switch
00:15:27
you want to upskill yourself, then Crio.Do is a project based learning platform
00:15:32
the training that you get here
00:15:34
is according to the way companies work. You're upskilled on that basis.
00:15:39
They've a fellowship program which is a 100% job guarantee program
00:15:43
which consist of full stack development, back-end development
00:15:46
Right!
00:15:47
And they're covering from Basic to advanced from step by step, there's DSA as well
00:15:53
and projects are very important for any interview.
00:15:55
Right!
00:15:56
So, there's Airbnb, Amazon
00:15:58
Netflix as well.
00:16:00
You can do projects in these end to end applications.
00:16:02
You'll get proper end to end support, mentorship.
00:16:05
Their average salary - the package that you'll hold will be of 11 LPA
00:16:09
It can be up to 40 LPA
00:16:11
People have cracked until 40 LPA as well.
00:16:13
So, I've taken care of the Demo. Link is given, rest, if you're looking for a switch.
00:16:18
Their average salary hike is 89%
00:16:21
I've given all the useful links in the description below.
00:16:24
If you want to take demo, if you're interested
00:16:27
then you can check out.
00:16:28
Guys, now you'll be looking at his salary negotiation.
00:16:31
His discussion with HR.
00:16:33
I was so much inspired by him when he told me
00:16:36
He was at 2.2 LPA in Infosys.
00:16:38
After that, he took 4x hike
00:16:41
and now he has taken lot of offers, how did he handle 90 days of notice period, you'll get to know it.
00:16:47
Okay!
00:16:48
So, I want to know from you Aman, since everyone has their own experience
00:16:53
some are working. According to you, our audience is watching you
00:16:58
what is a clean roadmap
00:16:59
according to you because you're a front end developer, working now
00:17:03
you didn't even do MCA. You spent 3 years at Infosys, now you're working in a US Based company
00:17:09
You're working in MNC
00:17:10
According to you, what is important for front-end development & for a front-end developer?
00:17:14
So, for front-end developer, firstly you should've knowledge about HTML & CSS.
00:17:19
And after that, 2nd step is to clear your concept of Core JS.
00:17:24
For Core JS concepts like, Ajay sir also has a series on the 6 concepts
00:17:28
you can go through it.
00:17:32
And Akshay Saini's Namaste JavaScript
00:17:35
So, you can learn from that as well.
00:17:38
After that, when all of your concepts of JS are cleared, you can move to React.
00:17:44
You'll learn the concepts of React, then make a project on it.
00:17:49
You should do more project based learnings
00:17:53
It helps a lot in using all those concepts in the project.
00:17:59
So, this will be the complete roadmap for front-end.
00:18:01
I want to add one more thing. He told correctly that when you go for a front-end developer
00:18:07
two roles are defined for you in a company
00:18:10
either you'll be a core JS engineer
00:18:12
there you'll have less work in designing but more in logic building.
00:18:17
You'll be doing more core development.
00:18:19
If your interest is in designing, then you'll be designing a page with the help of CSS
00:18:23
or HTML to design core pages
00:18:27
the templates might be based on Figma, Framework. It'll give you a UX or UI designer.
00:18:33
So, there's one role for designing and other is for core JS engineer.
00:18:37
So, Aman who is here with us, is a Core JS engineer In React.
00:18:43
And I think you're less in designing, you've less interest or do you actually have it?
00:18:47
Yes, right! I've less interest towards designing, so
00:18:50
I didn't enjoy much in CSS & HTML
00:18:54
So, if we talk in generic aspect then yes, HTML, CSS, JS
00:18:59
When I'm saying JS, it means Vanilla JS, ES6, React and Git
00:19:04
Its enough!
00:19:05
If you've a good command on these skills, then you'll have 2 projects
00:19:09
which we'll get to know from him
00:19:11
So, you can give interview with ease. If you face rejection, its fine
00:19:14
but selection will also take place.
00:19:16
Because, in the initial time you wouldn't know what the question bank is so,
00:19:19
to take the idea because
00:19:20
he faced rejections as well, its not like that. We'll talk with him about it.
00:19:23
So, if you've reached until here, then guys do like the video, share
00:19:26
and tell us in the comment what did you find interesting until now in this podcast.
00:19:30
Alright!
00:19:31
Okay!
00:19:32
So, now tell us why did you leave Infosys.
00:19:35
It was fine going on since 3 years, I admit that Money might've been one of the issue
00:19:39
until when will I....
00:19:40
Okay! When you completed 3 years, until how much did you reach from 2.2 package?
00:19:46
My salary increased from 2.2 to 3.9 within 3 years.
00:19:50
So, I always got the top rating for every year.
00:19:53
So, as its commendable, one was Outstanding therefore I always got the Outstanding rating within 3yeras
00:20:00
because I always completed my work in time.
00:20:04
So, only the for me it increased from 2.2 to 3.9 LPA.
00:20:07
Some have low rating, which means they'll have low hike.
00:20:12
Okay!
00:20:13
But even from 2.3 to 3.9 LPA, he felt that its even 3 years, so
00:20:18
it stays in mind that now I should switch and increase my pay
00:20:22
Now, are you married, Aman?
00:20:25
No, No! I'm still single.
00:20:26
Okay!
00:20:26
Its fine!
00:20:28
I just asked it simply.
00:20:29
Ready to Mingle.
00:20:33
Fine!
00:20:34
We want you to get mingle soon.
00:20:36
We would want that only.
00:20:37
And now, you're already settled, which is great. Its not that
00:20:42
Technical Suneja is getting people married. Its nothing as such.
00:20:44
The question came just in mind so, I asked it.
00:20:47
Okay!
00:20:49
Suneja Matrimonials !!
00:20:51
Good one!
00:20:52
That's a great Idea you've given.
00:20:53
And that too on React JS!
00:20:56
That all the single boys in IT, who aren't able to get married
00:21:00
I'll also enroll myself in it.
00:21:04
So Aman, you completed 3 years and reached from 2.2 to 3.9 LPA
00:21:10
So, when did you get your first offer because there was 90 days of notice period.
00:21:16
So, did you resign earlier or after taking the offer?
00:21:21
This is my first question from you.
00:21:23
I gave my resign after taking the first offer.
00:21:27
Okay!
00:21:27
They gave me a 90 days time but I told them
00:21:31
that after taking the offer I can talk with my manager for early release.
00:21:37
Because even they couldn't wait for so long.
00:21:40
That yes, they wanted early joining but my interview went well
00:21:44
so, they gave me the opportunity that you should join us as a front-end engineer
00:21:49
but I told them that it can take maximum of 90 Days
00:21:54
but I can talk for early release because
00:21:56
I was in good terms with managers.
00:22:00
So, how much hike did you get in your first offer?
00:22:03
If you don't mind?
00:22:05
Around more than 120% in the first offer.
00:22:10
Okay!
00:22:10
So, like that was a Mohali based company -Serve all solutions.
00:22:14
Okay!
00:22:15
And how much offers did you receive in 90 days?
00:22:21
After 90 days, I was having 7-8 offers in hand.
00:22:26
Okay!
00:22:27
Some were from Mohali & some were from Noida, Gurgaon, Delhi
00:22:34
Okay!
00:22:35
And what were the challenges before getting the first job?
00:22:38
Its not that you got in your first try, you might've faced rejections
00:22:42
Right!
00:22:43
I did face lot of rejections.
00:22:45
so, as you start giving interview in the beginning, the questions are different like,
00:22:51
we're working in production and the core concepts
00:22:55
there's a part in interview, in which they ask core concepts
00:23:00
that yes, your concepts of JS and React are entirely clear.
00:23:03
And there's another part in which they ask that - how did you work in production projects
00:23:09
what was your role?
00:23:11
Roles and responsibilities
00:23:13
and by which approach did you work?
00:23:15
So, in the starting u faced lot of rejections but I didn't get de-motivated
00:23:20
I kept on giving interviews.
00:23:22
So, this was there. Its not serious to take rejections, its better to forget your rejection count.
00:23:28
Truly!
00:23:29
If you're facing rejections
00:23:30
then - if you'll forget the count of rejection, you'll also forget your selection count that I was selected here.
00:23:36
You know, Aman - the quality that I noticed in you while talking to you
00:23:41
you've wonderful skills, everyone has it. Some have less, some have more, some work hard.
00:23:47
Main thing is proactiveness.
00:23:49
Mindset
00:23:50
I think the 7-8 offers you received was due to your mindset.
00:23:54
That its fine that I'm facing rejection, I'll keep on trying.
00:23:58
And then at last we'll see where to join.
00:24:01
So, when you had 7-8 offers, you might've seen which company has max offers
00:24:03
which company do you like
00:24:06
and which company is giving which type of benefit & guys
00:24:08
this is your right
00:24:09
its not that - its fine that you got 7-8 offers, but at the end he's an employee
00:24:14
we're going to be sold. We're going to be sold for a company.
00:24:17
Right!
00:24:17
So, we need to be choosy in that.
00:24:21
Even the companies do this.
00:24:23
Even the companies do this.
00:24:25
There're multiple candidates, they give one an X offer and to the other they offer less.
00:24:29
Right!
00:24:30
So, they're also doing selection on that basis. Therefore, its also our right
00:24:33
that we should select on that basis.
00:24:36
Aman did the same.
00:24:38
So, you received 7-8 offers &you had challenges, interviews
00:24:42
I'll even ask which questions did they ask you
00:24:44
what all did you experience, I've prepared questions about it
00:24:48
Now, tell me - since salary negotiation is very important whenever you serve the notice period of 90 days.
00:24:53
Then, your manager didn't agree for your next release?
00:24:57
He didn't agree.
00:24:59
They don't agree to it. I've seen that they don't agree, they want you to serve entirely.
00:25:02
But, its good as we get a 90 days time
00:25:05
to get more offers. It was good for you.
00:25:07
Right! Its a good thing. Guys, do please tell how much do you believe that
00:25:11
if we got 90 days then you get multiple offers
00:25:13
he got 7-8 offers.
00:25:14
Right!
00:25:15
So, tell me how did you handle HR because you got back to back offers.
00:25:21
Now you're getting hike upon hike. How did you decline them?
00:25:24
Tell me about that a little. I want to know how did you negotiate.
00:25:26
Like, you got 120% hike then you might've got more than that.
00:25:31
Tell us about that.
00:25:32
Yes! So, I noticed one thing that whenever we go for salary negotiation then first step should be
00:25:39
that you should research about your skill at a particular time experience
00:25:45
how many offers can you get or what is the salary range for this amount of experience.
00:25:53
Very important.
00:25:53
We should look into it.
00:25:55
And second point is, they mainly look for confidence.
00:25:58
Like, all the offers that I've got until now. None of the companies told me that
00:26:03
send me the offer letter of this company that if you've this offer in real or not.
00:26:07
Because, they mainly look for confidence, although I had offer letter
00:26:11
but still they never demanded me to send them the offer letter
00:26:16
only then we'll be able to give you a hike at that percent.
00:26:19
So, people are very shy, like, they're asking a girls' hand for marriage.
00:26:23
You're asking your right for salary.
00:26:25
So I say that you shouldn't be ashamed of.
00:26:27
Say it with confidence that yes, I demand this much therefore I'm expecting it
00:26:33
I already have these many offers.
00:26:34
So, suppose you've 200% hike. You're asking for a 250% that I'm expecting 250
00:26:42
so even if they reject the 250%, that we cannot give you a 250% hike.
00:26:48
Then you'll not loose anything. You'll still land on a 200% hike.
00:26:53
Atleast you've an offer for 200% hike.
00:26:56
So, Aman as you declined HR, now you had 7-8 offers
00:27:02
now you cannot join everywhere, there's only one Aman.
00:27:05
So, how did you decline them and what did you say to them?
00:27:09
Okay!
00:27:10
So, as soon as I got the better opportunity or a better offer then I used to inform the previous company
00:27:17
via mail or we can also do whatsapp message. You can tell them
00:27:22
that I got a better opportunity with more hike, so
00:27:26
its a very good opportunity
00:27:28
so, as you want the company - like - some want to go into MNC, some want to go into Mind-size company
00:27:37
if you get that type of opportunity that you want to get
00:27:40
then you can decline other company at that time.
00:27:43
At last, we cannot join in all the offers that we have
00:27:48
at last we've to tell them that, don't wait for them so
00:27:53
you can interview the candidate once again.
00:27:58
Okay!
00:27:59
So, Aman - as you've told me before off camera - you had a fight with an HR as well.
00:28:06
Yes!
00:28:07
Right!
00:28:08
So
00:28:09
Tell that to our audience as well.
00:28:11
So, it was the time when I had 150% hike offer
00:28:16
when I cleared my interview, then I told them that
00:28:21
that now I gave interview in other company, then they told me that
00:28:25
I was expecting a 200% hike.
00:28:28
So, they told me that NO, you don't have that much of skills
00:28:32
you can not take that much offer, 200% hike is very huge.
00:28:38
So, we won't be able to give you.
00:28:39
You won't even get that. You should join in your previous offer.
00:28:44
So, it was around 1 month. I told myself that I won't give up, I'll give more interviews
00:28:50
I'll show them by getting a more better hike.
00:28:53
So, I told them that I'll save your number. Whenever I'll get a job in a good hike
00:28:59
I'll call you for sure.
00:29:01
So, I did call them later on.
00:29:03
That yes, I got an offer with 4x+ hike and I'm joining that company.
00:29:11
Perfect! By the way, its good sometime you get these type of comments from front
00:29:15
so, we get the feel from inside that I need to prove it.
00:29:18
And I need to get a better offer.
00:29:20
Perfect, Aman!
00:29:21
This is also a skill - how you handle, how you negotiate the salary &
00:29:28
He's until 4x hike.
00:29:30
And you can calculate guys, he started from 2.2.LPA & left Infosys at 3.9 LPA
00:29:35
and after that he's well settled,
00:29:38
front-end developer.
00:29:41
Now tell me...
00:29:42
Yeah sure!
00:29:42
Yeah, I want to add one more thing, if someone is demotivating you or
00:29:47
someone is commenting that you cannot take more hike than this.
00:29:51
You'll face this, so, join with a low hike. You won't get that much of an offer.
00:29:56
You can tell them - If not you, then someone else, if not then someone else.
00:30:02
There're lakhs of companies in the world, dear, you're not alone.
00:30:09
Perfect!
00:30:12
So, its important to have this kind of mindset. Have a fearless mind without fear.
00:30:18
At the worst, you'll face rejection.
00:30:21
If not you, then someone else.
00:30:25
Perfect!
00:30:26
Now, tell me how important was the role of project in your journey
00:30:31
you learnt the skills, but until its visible nobody will buy it.
00:30:36
So, which projects did you do & how much confidence did you gain in clearing the interview.
00:30:40
In showcasing your project, please!
00:30:43
So, prroects are of great importance. Whenever you're learning,
00:30:48
we should always do project based learning.
00:30:51
So, as I started preparing for React, after doing core JS concepts
00:30:59
I learnt for React & took up a project.
00:31:01
I took a project from Youtube. I used to build that project side by side on my personal laptop
00:31:07
and whichever concepts that were used in it, I used to search that concept on youtube.
00:31:12
That yes, where and how can we use this concept, how does it work.
00:31:16
So, we get lot of benefits from it.
00:31:20
That yes, we get hold of all the concepts that where can we use it.
00:31:25
So, whenever I learnt, I did it from projects. I made 4-5 projects.
00:31:33
Which projects did you do, Aman, will you please tell us!
00:31:35
Yes!
00:31:36
If you would like to give the idea
00:31:37
so, my first project was of a news application - News Web Application.
00:31:42
So, there were different types of categories in it like, there're different categories in tabs
00:31:49
so, as we click on sports then only sports news will be filtered and shown.
00:31:53
If we click on entertainment, then that news will be filtered.
00:31:57
So, there were different concepts in it.
00:31:59
Like, Search bar, categories, how to re-render the middle and infinite scroll
00:32:07
so, I used all these concepts in it.
00:32:09
And, I made a second project called Cloud Diary.
00:32:13
So, it had login form.
00:32:15
There were authentications in it. Any of the user can login and save their notes online.
00:32:22
And the user that is logging in, only he can access his notes & edit
00:32:28
other user cannot access it.
00:32:30
So, I made that project.
00:32:34
Perfect!
00:32:36
Now tell me, did you made projects on react?
00:32:39
Yes!
00:32:40
It was mainly on front-end and I made a full stack project, which included Youtube Clone.
00:32:47
In Youtube Clone, you can take live youtube application. It was that project.
00:32:53
basically, you might've used the APIs of Youtube.
00:32:56
Okay!
00:32:57
Very nice!
00:32:58
Perfect!
00:32:59
You might've gained lot of confidence from it!
00:33:00
During the time of interview.
00:33:04
Now, tell us as you took 7-8 offers, right! Some companies
00:33:09
I think they were of Chandigarh
00:33:11
and some companies were of Gurgaon, Noida - you got offers from multiple places.
00:33:16
Can you provide a list, which questions were you asked as a front-end developer?
00:33:21
And anything as such, which you weren't able to answer which was a learning for you
00:33:25
please tell us about it. We'll be able to learn something from you.
00:33:28
To our audience!
00:33:29
So, main questions - if we talk about core JS
00:33:33
then main questions belong to Array, List, Object, Essay so mainly questions were based on them.
00:33:41
So, as I provided them the filtered data because this filtered data should be there in output.
00:33:46
and we're adjusting duplicate words in spring, then we need to remove those duplicate words.
00:33:53
So, next palindrome number - you need to enter a number, you'll be given the input box.
00:33:58
So, you should code in such a way that whichever number you enter in input box
00:34:02
we should get the next palindrome number in the output.
00:34:05
So, these type of questions were there.
00:34:07
And if we talk about React, then we're asked API
00:34:12
we need to fetch data from API and print it and perform operations from it.
00:34:16
How many operations can be performed in it?
00:34:18
And there was a counter related question
00:34:21
so, it was a simple question that, you've to create two buttons.
00:34:25
On plus button, we should've plus counter & on minus button, there should b decrement.
00:34:30
So, this was one. And another question was that, we need to create an input box
00:34:35
the number that we'll enter in it, countdown should start from there.
00:34:40
So, countdown will start from it. As we entered number 30, then countdown should decrement from 30.
00:34:47
If we're changing the number, then counter should reset & count should start from there.
00:34:54
And one
00:34:55
Do you know guys, the questions that he is telling - the Machine round that we've
00:34:59
in which coding questions are asked, he's telling his experience. Please, Aman!
00:35:03
Go ahead!
00:35:03
Question about higher order component are frequently asked, that
00:35:08
what are higher order components & how can we change streak from one component to other.
00:35:16
There might be question on hooks as well.
00:35:18
All of the Hooks are used in Machine coding round that how could you use this effect.
00:35:23
How are you using use effect?
00:35:26
So, use call back, use memo
00:35:30
Perfect, Aman!
00:35:31
And guys, I have covered videos about which he is talking, you're watching it on screen.
00:35:36
And I made this playlist when I cracked Paytm.
00:35:40
I made this playlist at that time.
00:35:42
So, before the interview I went through all the series of Ajay Sir.
00:35:46
There are all the important questions which are asked in the interview.
00:35:51
So, you can refer to it.
00:35:53
They were asked from me, so I though if making its playlist. I think it'll be helpful for audience as well.
00:35:58
So, these are very common questions like, based on Promise
00:36:01
sink, use effect, use ref
00:36:06
based on hooks because we work more on functional components on React
00:36:10
and most of the application are based on functional components
00:36:12
there hooks come into the picture.
00:36:14
It was nice talking to you Aman.
00:36:16
You're a very amazing personality.
00:36:18
And you're very friendly.
00:36:21
So, as you go, what will be your advice for our audience as you go?
00:36:25
And specially, those who're on support role and want to come into development.
00:36:28
What should be the mindset, although in the entire podcast we got to know you as a personality
00:36:34
we looked about you, how you handle everything, how you answer.
00:36:38
Very interesting!
00:36:39
Very inspiring!
00:36:40
But still, what will be your advice? Please tell us.
00:36:43
Yes! So, my final advice would be that firstly set your goal.
00:36:48
That you should be clear, if you want to go into development side from support role
00:36:53
or you're interested in coding or you want to go that side which has less coding.
00:36:58
So, first of all, set a goal. After that, you can start with small steps.
00:37:05
You don't need to be afraid that how will we able to do that, we spent so much time in support role
00:37:10
As I did job in support role for so much time, then I transitioned my career
00:37:14
and now I'm working in a product based company.
00:37:17
So, its that life's button do not always goes to faster or stronger men but sooner or later
00:37:23
the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.
00:37:27
So, Yes! I want to add one more thing that People make lot of excuses
00:37:32
that yes, I don't have these resources or I don't have time.
00:37:38
I also used to work in second shift, 2-11
00:37:41
so, in that I had to shift from 2-11
00:37:45
And I used to be tired at night
00:37:47
as soon as its 11 o' clock. Then I used to take a break of an hour.
00:37:50
After taking the break, I used to start my preparation again, then studying late until 4 o' clock
00:37:56
until 5 o' clock
