As a oncoming PG student joining a Tier 1 clg in MTech CSE, what advice will you give me to get into industry in Software engineering roles?
Would love some advice from current software engineers:
Currently working on - DSA and Professional English Communication in verbal and written form.
I am keen of exploring System software engineering with a bit of AI/ML on the side.
How should I start prepping for interviews from day one?
What makes a strong resume?
How important will DSA be over the next 2 years for hiring?
Any other things you would like me to know as a general piece of information.
Any tips super helpful.
