In this podcast, we have Srija with us, who started her journey from a Tier 3 college in West Bengal through WBJEE. Despite having no coding culture in college, she managed to outshine and was among the initial students who got placed in her batch.

She cracked multiple offers after college and decided to join Microsoft in Support Role. She later made an internal switch to Service Engineer Role and then to an SDE role within a span of 3 years.

We have discussed all about her journey, watch till the end. Let me know how you find this video in the comment section.

  1. Sir I am in 6th semester and haven't started my placement preparations. Is it possible for me to crack a good company if I start preperations now? What should I focus more? Solving DSA questions or upskilling myself with AI, ML kind of things? Please reply.

  5. I was 1 year Junior to sreeja in college. We did internship and was part of the same technical club. She was very humble and dedicated toward her career, not only with herself but she used to help anyone in need with her capacity. Her story is really inspiring in college, glad that it is out in the public as well. 😊
