3. Vignesh Raja: Amazon to PayPal
"I did my fair share of research and landed at Scaler which now, in retrospect, I feel was a decision that I should have taken back in 2019 itself."
"As a result of religiously practising problems daily, I have not only severed ties with my fear of DSA but also gained confidence in my ability to deal with any problem at hand."
Vignesh's story doesn’t deal with dissatisfaction with his work, but with the belief that he was capable of more. Looking back, he talks about the discipline it took to refine his skills and the help from the instructors as well as the mentors to strengthen his approach to DSA and problem-solving. He even talks about how he easily cracked the first round of the DSA interview in under 30 minutes and went on to clear the other two rounds with consistent practice and with the help of his mentors in the latest career report.

4. Sanju Saini: In Time tec to Razorpay
"While working a job simultaneously, I gave Scaler a shot in hopes of finally learning CS fundamentals right from the basics and it seemed like they were just the people for the job. So it gives me incredible joy to give a shout-out to them while sharing with you all that I have landed at Razorpay in the role of a Product Development Engineer 2 and it couldn't have been better."
"The DSA skills that I mastered with Anshuman Singh, Naman Bhalla, Arnav Gupta and Prateek Narang contributed to developing my confidence in my skills. Besides, learning within such a motivating environment made sure that I was solving one problem every day. And that's exactly what made all the difference."
Sanju didn't follow the path he had originally planned, but he kept finding ways to move forward. From learning through YouTube to balancing work while improving his coding skills, every stage taught him something new. He has also shared his experience of learning while working in the Career Report.

5. Prathyusha M: Hexamap to Flipkart/Cleartrip
"It gives me immense pleasure to share with you all that it has been a month of working with Flipkart/Cleartrip and I couldn't be more glad."
"I turned to Scaler and that's when things started to look better. Not only did I get a platform to learn it all from but also got support from a community that motivated me to regain the confidence that I had lost in those years of not working."
When Prathyusha decided to return to the tech industry, she wasn't picking up where she had left off. The years away from work meant catching up with an industry that had evolved rapidly, learning new technologies, and rebuilding the confidence to step back into a professional role. Her story is the one for those who wish to take that leap.

"When I decided to brush up on my coding skills and CS fundamentals, I came across many resources available, yet I was a little apprehensive to invest at first. But I'm someone who has always been curious about learning more and keeping myself up to date, and this made me enroll myself at Scaler."
"Once I started becoming familiar with the concepts, it helped me get rid of my fear of trying new things. Their community of experienced professionals helped me learn new things every single day and eventually helped me upgrade my problem-solving ability."
Coming from a non-technical background, Krishna had to go through early hurdles to match the skill set of the already prepared engineers. Choosing software engineering over the path he had originally imagined meant starting from the basics, building confidence along the way, and staying curious enough to keep learning. That decision eventually led him to Walmart Global Tech, where he now works as a software engineer.

7. Abinay Bingumalla: Jio to Microsoft
"Not sure how many know, but I had joined Scaler last year to improve my fundamentals. Having worked as a coder in a few companies before that, I had skills but what I really needed was to strengthen what I knew and give my skillset a boost."
"With Scaler, I became a lot more disciplined and focused. Without their support, maybe it would have taken me a few more years to crack a company like Microsoft."
Even after spending time in the industry, Abinay felt there was room to grow. Instead of chasing the next opportunity right away, he chose to revisit the fundamentals, sharpen his existing skills, and become a more disciplined learner. His post is also a heartfelt acknowledgement of the mentor who guided him throughout that phase and helped make the learning experience a meaningful one.

8. Atharva Deshmukh: Neebal Technologies to Citi India
"The biggest challenge I encountered was committing to learning every. single. day. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to stay motivated and dedicated when faced with the demands of everyday life."
"To overcome this challenge, I took two important steps. Firstly, I dedicated 4-5 hours every day to practicing on both Scaler and LeetCode... Secondly, I had the privilege of learning from some of the most experienced and dedicated mentors. Infusing structure and accountability in my life gave me the ability to stay on track and commit to daily learning and practice."
Atharva, in this post and even in the career report, mentions the importance of building the discipline of showing up every day. Between long hours of practice and the structure that kept him accountable, he made sure to be so consistent that it turned into a habit. That steady approach eventually led him to Citi India, where he began his role as a Java Developer.

9. Saravanan: 22 years in Tech to Upskilling
"But there comes a time when even after two decades, you want to do something more - something that challenges you. That's when I started looking for courses to upskill my learning abilities and that's how I discovered Scaler."
"Despite the fact that I have not been as consistent as I would have liked to be with the program, I can without a doubt declare that Scaler has assisted me in moving in the right way. The thrill of learning something new after all these years is unmatched!"
Even after spending over two decades in the industry, Saravanan felt there was more to learn. Curious to see what was next, he decided to step back into learning and explore skills that would challenge him in a different way.
