Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many companies should I apply to?

A: Target 20-30 companies across tiers: 5-7 dream companies, 10-15 tier-1/2, and 5-10 safety options.

Q: Can I get into FAANG with low CGPA?

A: It's harder but possible. Focus on:

• Exceptional coding skills
• Strong projects and internships
• Referrals
• Off-campus applications

Q: Do mass recruiters visit all colleges?

A: Yes, most mass recruiters (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) have wide reach. Product companies typically visit Tier-1 colleges or hire through off-campus drives.

Q: Should I focus on CGPA or skills?

A: Both matter. Maintain 7+ CGPA to clear eligibility, then focus on skills and projects. 8+ CGPA opens more doors.

Q: How important are internships?

A: Very important for product companies. Internships at recognized companies significantly improve shortlisting chances.

Q: What's the best way to prepare for tier-1 companies?

A:

1. Master DSA (400+ LeetCode problems)
2. Practice system design
3. Build strong projects
4. Prepare behavioral stories
5. Mock interviews

Q: Do startups pay more than established companies?

A: Often yes, but with higher risk. Unicorns (CRED, Razorpay) may pay 20-50% more than established IT companies.

Q: Can non-CS students get software jobs?

A: Yes, but you'll need to:

• Learn programming independently
• Build strong projects
• Show relevant coursework/certifications
• May face slightly higher barriers

Q: Are off-campus opportunities available?

A: Yes, many companies hire off-campus:

• Through career portals
• Referral drives
• Coding competitions (CodeVita, HackWithInfy)
• LinkedIn applications

Q: How do I choose between multiple offers?

A: Consider:

1. Learning and growth opportunities
2. Company culture and work-life balance
3. Compensation (base vs. variables)
4. Technology stack
5. Long-term career trajectory
6. Location and relocation

Q: What's the role of certifications?

A: Certifications help but aren't mandatory:

• AWS/GCP certifications help for cloud roles
• Useful for career switchers
• Less important than projects for campus placements

Q: Should I prepare differently for service vs. product companies?

A: Yes:

• Service companies: Focus on aptitude, basic coding, communication
• Product companies: Deep DSA, system design, CS fundamentals
