If you think something is difficult, try doing it for one minute in a day. That one minute eventually will make it the easiest thing in the world. <\/h3>\n

<\/span>I am Nirmit Jain, an engineering graduate from ABES University, currently employed at Braincurry.<\/span><\/h2>\n

I started as all engineering graduates do: I gave my entrance exams, got into an engineering college, and subsequently got a job to meet the market expectations. <\/p>\n

I believe I\u2019ve always exhibited a technical bent of mind, as data systems and their technicalities always intrigued me. Apart from this, I am passionate about cooking, as I am a foodie. At times, my mind seems to draw parallels between cooking and coding as I am keenly interested in both. <\/p>\n

Previously, I was working with Capgemini. Initially, the company has training programs in place, after which we are allocated projects to work on. As I did not engage in networking, I had a rocky start. <\/p>\n

I was the last one to be allocated a project to work on, despite topping my batch in the training program. However, this was a small hurdle, as I eventually got my own team to lead, which I would say contributed a lot to my growth as an individual. Even though I had many opportunities at Capgemini, I eventually wanted to explore other avenues that could benefit my learning curve and develop my skill set in the process.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The interview process is marred by several challenges that must be overcome to secure your goal. Being at Scaler, I understood that the key to cracking interviews is having a thorough knowledge of data systems and algorithms. <\/span><\/h2>\n

Our problem-solving skills act as our saving grace during interviews. The interviewer is not looking at what problems you can solve; instead, they wish to see how good you are at collaborating information and working on a problem from various angles. <\/p>\n

Another primary concern is whether you are a team player or not – getting along with your team is essential for any project you have been working on. I managed to crack the interview, and while it has not been much time, I am thoroughly enjoying my work at BrainCurry. I am looking forward to the newer avenues this position will offer me and am excited to further my journey in software development. <\/p>\n

Scaler Academy has acted as a useful guide in this journey. It is imperative to state that I could only traverse my way through this process of cracking interviews with the assistance I have got from Scaler. The mentorship arrangement and the peer culture has helped me evolve as a coder, and I am genuinely grateful for my association with Scaler.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span>My only advice for people looking up to me will be to practice as much as possible and let your skills take the course.<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
