    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.

  • 00:03:06
    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.

  • 00:16:28
    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
  • 00:37:58
    so, it should be like you shouldn't make excuses.
  • 00:38:00
    Work with responsibility.
  • 00:38:02
    So, responsibility is such a thing which takes away your sleep.
  • 00:38:06
    So, we should do that way.
  • 00:38:09
    Every boy who wakes up late at night isn't a lover, some are coders as well.
  • 00:38:17
    Perfect!
  • 00:38:19
    I did lots of podcast but it was nice talking to you, Aman!
  • 00:38:23
    And guys, he told a point that as you work in support and if you're less interested in coding
  • 00:38:28
    so, there're other profiles which you can explore but if you're very clear
  • 00:38:32
    that I want to go into front-end, like, he was very clear
  • 00:38:34
    That I want to go into this
  • 00:38:35
    we'll see what'll happen
  • 00:38:37
    if you keep a similar fearless mindset and move forward then you achieve things.
  • 00:38:42
    Thank you so much, Aman, it was nice talking to you.
  • 00:38:45
    Seriously!
  • 00:38:45
    And I'll try when you switch again, I'll call you again on channel.
  • 00:38:50
    But wish you all the best and lot of wishes from our audience.
  • 00:38:56
    And hope you go forward, today you've 4x, make it 8x, 12x
  • 00:39:00
    and we would want it to be 20x, 100x
  • 00:39:02
    thank you so much
  • 00:39:04
    and guys, if you loved the podcast then do like it, share, comment
  • 00:39:09
    share it to the most.
  • 00:39:10
    And I've kept the like aim to be 10k, accomplish it for more such interesting podcast
  • 00:39:14
    I'll meet you soon in the next video.
