So my name is Raguendra Singh. I am a senior Q engineer in Amazon uh since last 7 years. I'm working with Amazon. I have worked with different uh products of Amazon and u I I am I am you know uh I'm work I I take care of both functional automation plan AI is also into picture. So yeah I'm working on those grounds as well. So this is like a overview about myself. Uh now over to you give me a you know quick brief introduction about yourself and while you are giving the intro while we I'm taking this interview I will be taking some notes right so that like by the end of the session we discuss on the areas where you can improve right and uh so yeah you might see me typing down something so it is like just your uh area of improvement where you could do better that's what I'm just writing it out for you okay so uh Yeah, let's get started. Help me with your intro. So, first of all, thank you so much for giving your time to improve myself. Uh, my name is Anishika Gupta and I am from Japur. I completed my BTech in computer science. Uh, uh, at in 23 I am 23 pass out batch. uh my I uh in my college time I do a training in uh DevOps and I was interested in DevOps only and about your introduction I know about you sir sir I follow you on LinkedIn and I yes sir so that is why I know about so that is why I'm more excited and nervous at the same time to talk with okay there's nothing to be nervous thank you so much uh for following me on LinkedIn. It's it's good to know that. Uh yes sir. So uh actually from 23 onwards I'm trying to uh get any internship or any job but I don't know why I am not getting any. I have done many interviews before uh for internships for jobs everything but I don't know why. So, so we we are currently taking the mock interview and the question to you was your introduction and you jumped on to you know that you're not getting the job since 2023. So I think we are just deviating from the agenda of this call that it is now let me let me okay let me give you some um some input on your introduction part. Whenever you are coming for an interview, the first thing that interview is going to ask from you is the introduction. And when I say introduction, you have to ensure that you know you are prepared while you are coming. Intro 20 seconds, something which is good, something which is catchy, prepare that and come because when you start with a confidence, right? And when like see it creates a perception like if you don't know about yourself right the start I'm not saying it's going to decide the entire interview. No, it's not some people. Everybody is different. But definitely if you're coming prepared and if you're if you're sounding confident in the interview, if you are putting a smile on your face, right, and you are you're showcasing in that 20 second, you know what you are bringing on the table, how you're going to be a asset for the company. That's what you know brings that that's actually sometimes creates a good impact. So I always you know recommend everyone like for whomever for whom I take the mock I I like it's it's very common like you know people get nervous and and it's okay to be nervous but that's fine the understand the person who is sitting in front of you I'm I'm just a regular guy I'm just a normal person sitting in front of you we both are like you know uh we don't have much of a difference you are you have just started your career I have worked for some time even you will eventually reach to that extent after some time. So you have to be confident right and we have to be you know a positive for ourself. Uh I can help you uh with with a mock with the with a with a training or you know to push you to do something better but it is you who has to do that. Nobody will come and uh you know do something for you and very I I always feel like you know whenever I feel at times key you know something is stopping me or I also feel at times very low and I feel you know is it what I've always wanted to do is it the right thing what I'm doing right now and the second things which bangs into my head is or or if something I want to try right let's say even this training part geeks for geeks was the first uh uh I think organization who gave me this opportunity uh where I started with this training career altogether if I would say and I was very nervous like would I be able to justify it's a big responsibility there are so many people counting right and geeks for geeks is a brand so when when this came into picture and lot of thoughts there in the mind but then again it's all in your mind right I started my first batch was okayish but my second batch was too good. I signed off more than 20 batches in geeks for geeks itself in last two years I think. So it depends it totally depends on us and think be positive about yourself. So when you be positive about yourself that comes on your face that I can see that in your aura. So when you're coming in you come with that kind of you know uh strength in the interview that shows a strength. Right now we were talking about our introduction we got deviated where you moved towards uh you know saying key okay I'm not you passed out in 2023 right and you're saying that since last two years I'm not having a job right now okay even before I jump on to the uh next stage and I ask couple of more questions from you I I just want to have a normal conversation with you to make you feel more comfortable and then maybe we can start uh okay So what happened or what went wrong or what is happening that you know you're not able to or what what what what is going wrong like from 2023 to 2025 what happened and again it's a raw talk no filters you can you know open up yourself and you can speak uh so first of all uh in my uh starting interviews I am little bit nervous about everything like my my name also I can't uh say it properly after after that um I move towards the government job aspect so I I um distract from my path of private job second thing third my practice is not as per their expectations as I as they wanted uh three things and the fourth is the confidence level sir my confidence no I I will tell tell you something over here. Sorry to interrupt you. The good part with you is you are very clear with your thoughts and you know what is the problem. The problem, the main problem is when people don't know what is the problem. With you, you already know what is the problem. So when you know what is the problem, you just have to find a way to fix it. Getting my point? You said I started with the you know my confidence is a bit low. You have to work on that. How you can improvise your confidence, right? Whatever makes you feel nervous, whatever makes you feel you know that okay maybe for even I was like you and Shika when when I just passed down passed out from a college but I I I was like a bit extrovert uh my confidence on that like in the college time with my friends used to be very high but when it comes to the realtime world interview I used to get nervous and then you know what I always used to think how I actually motivated myself. I used to think okay the interview which I'm going to give that company is not going to purchase me right they're not going to take me my life so what the worst will happen they will reject me I will be rejected I will come back home so at least I should go confidently now this confident and this is again I'm not just saying it for saying I'm act I actually mean this right uh I can even I have all the data to you know prove this. So I was in my fourth year. I was having uh during my initial days of college I had a backlog. I had a very bad you know academics. Uh my college was a deemed university. So I was lucky enough to save my year back. Third fourth year I was a topper. I did too well. I was altogether into academics. I like technology started exciting me all of a sudden and uh backlogs also cleared but because of one back uh I was not able to get uh you know opportunity in forces or vipro but yeah it's a god plan what if I was there I would I would be working for infosces maybe I I would not be getting something which I have now right so god has its own plan and uh I was not sure what to do so uh there was a company named mastc which came into our college it was a staffing company and uh approximately 400 students gave the interview vacancy was hardly six or seven and 400 like BCA, MCA, BTE, MBA everybody sat for that it was a non- tech and they were offering a package of eight lakhs something like that seven lakhs in 2016 back in 2016 so during your training period like some five lakh package and something like that so I went and I never thought that I will be selected but I went I was very happy because I was feeling that this is the first time I'm going to give the interview right so how it would be it was fascinating me when I reached there when I saw the crowd I felt it's difficult now round one happened round two happened round three happened by the end of round four hardly 20 students were there and I was amongst them now by by the time they were leaving they shortlisted I think four students I knew that vacancy is six. I thought my job I got my job and they said that you know you need to come to Noa for a final round we will send you the you know mail and then you guys come and give and uh uh let's see how it goes. Now I was overconfident. I said now I have cleared the interview. I got the package. Everything is good. I went to Nida and I just up over there. Like I'm sorry to use this word. So I just messed up over there and the interview went really bad. Interview went really bad with me and uh I got rejected and I was the only one who got rejected. Rest all got the offer letters. Now before this I have already posted on my Facebook stating that you know I got a placement the entire college uh you know I was a very popular guy so that the college knew that this guy's place now what face I'm going to show that I have rejected right the only thing which held me was my confidence and now here is a turn in the twist in the story that I ping the HR of that company who the last who took my last round and I said you know what this is my dream company and I really want to join it. Now if I look back to that rago I I will laugh that I really did that and trust me it worked out in the favor of me. After 20 days they gave me a call. Okay, we are giving you one more opportunity. I got the offer letter. I cleared the interview. I joined that company. I worked there for 15 days. It was night shift and I was like no I cannot do this job. This is not meant for me. I left that job and why am I telling you that the only thing that I did was what would I like if if you get rejected like and again it it's not that if you are getting rejected go and chase the HR no don't do that but at that time I thought that instead of being said let's do something now for me getting a job was not the agenda getting a job in the same company was the agenda so I have to do something I just stood and I start texting people you know this is my dream company I always wanted to be here give me an opportunity that company was like hardly 5 7 8 10 years old not that old company as well and uh they were doing good in the sector of staffing again that company was good people were good but again I had different plans and I just deviated from that now Anika after that I became a developer I wanted to be a become a developer. I left so many jobs. I declined so many offer. I went to CDC just to become a developer. I and my first job was of 3.5 lakh rupees as a developer. I got laid off after 6 months. Pathetic work culture got impacted. No jobs in the market. Super you know. But there was one thought in my mind that I will do something. You will be also able to do something and this was unplanned. I never planned Amazon. Amazon was never in my books. I always used to thinking it's something which cannot happen and I don't know it just happened. I never thought I will be a QA a successful I would say a a good QA. Yeah, I became that good QA good as or or what people say in the outside world SD whatever it is and trust me all it takes is a confidence if you if I'm not sounding confident right how or if I'm not if I'm going for in a forum and I'm I'm not confident on myself how you are going to sell yourself in the interview the thing that work in the rule number one confidence is the key I have seen people with good communication with good confidence little bit okay technology lang you know this uh knowledge landing into a job I have seen them now I'm not talking about Amazon like in general I'm saying I have seen people going that way right it is not difficult we are we are developing a software for that we need to do some some development we need to test that application we need a tester We need a pipeline right where the code can flow from one stage to different state. We have devops. We need someone to safeguard our product so that no hackers can you know just trace parts. We have security people industry have large set of data. We have data scientists. We have so many work and 2023 to 2025 one year you spend on the government jobs. Now one thing ana be private be government and it's okay to be confused but never drop something because you feel it is difficult. No, somebody else have cracked Microsoft. Somebody else have cracked Google. Somebody else have already cracked Apple, right? Somebody's working in those companies. So what are everyone is from IIT? Are all the IITs going only in these companies? No. This is a myth. Not all I not all I am are working for the big companies only. Right. Someone went ahead. Someone had a package of 1CR. Sugar cosmetic owner. She got a package of 1 CR, left, started Sugar Cosmetic, thousand CR and she didn't know I'm doing I will get thousand CR. I will make a thousand CR company. No, she just went ahead. Why? She was confident. She was clear with this with her thoughts. Right? You have your whole life in front of you. You have just started. So you cheer up. There are so many things to do with respect to technology. Ask me development. I told you my first company HR staffing. Second company development. The guy who rejected so many testing job. He landed he started his journey as in operations in Amazon. then became a tester now a senior leader or a senior QA engineer in Amazon and even a mentor talking right in front of you it was it a rocket science no not at all I'm telling you nothing was a rocket science even what I'm doing today is not a rocket science I can teach you you can learn you can be what I'm doing you can also do the same thing we both have a similar brain right it's just that I worked on something and you have not but that does not mean that you're not capable enough to work on that. first get it in into your head straight that you are pretty good and I really like the fact about you that you are very clear you clearly said you know one year I dropped here one year I dropped here but then I thought no I want to get back into the IT now you're working right now you're working now what you need to prepare what you need to learn right so that it can help you for you you are a fresher so what you can put on the table that can help selling yourself. what you can do like you can say okay sir I created some hospital management tool I'm not interested but let's say you say sir I learned this language I knew about this technology and then there was somebody you know or there was a cafeteria in my college or there was a shopkeeper who used to stay uh whose shop was beside our college he was facing some issue on his day-to-day life I went ahead I proposed some tech solution and I made it for you. I really don't care if you have written four lines of code to solve that. You have solved a real PL problem. And this is what a real problem is. College do talk about guys. Focus on the real problem. Focus on the what is that real problem? Did we did we ever ever thought about it? Just give me one second. Okay, I'm really sorry for this. So, Anishka, first thing, what is a real time problem statement? Solving actual a real problem, right? Very basic, something which you're observing in your home. your brother is struggling with on on the system every day doing some copy paste stuff right every day he's coming and he's doing some go ahead and automate it you have AI right try to see you will write the worst code worst with the time complexity worse with the space complexity you solved a problem that will give you the confidence solve DSA learn one language need not to learn Java I know Java. I have seen this with the freshest Java. I know Java. I know Python. I know C++. No, I'm not going to. It's these are not ice cream flavors which I I need everything. I just need one language. That's fine. Whichever you choose. Go with Java. Java is good. And because mostly used in 90% of the places, go with Java. Use that Java. Solve a problem. See how your confidence will go from here to here. want to become a fullstack develop so there are domains right forget about everything what people are saying you wanted to become a fullstack developer even if AI has came into picture no I I I don't see that you know it has 100% replaced the you know we need people with brains to write to prompt try to build the best website you can build maybe if not for yourself someone else Create full front end, back end, everything. Want to become a tester? You have cloud is the limit. Go ahead. Test as many applications as you can. Pick up Blinket, pick up Zumato, pick up Swiggy, pick up Book My Show, pick up PTM, pick up Google Pay, Amazon Pay, whatever you feel like, right? Flipkart, Myntra. Start testing. Start breaking the system. Check where I can lock the bugs. Forget about test cases. they are forget about key terminologies. Let's not get into that lay layman language. I want to develop something, I will learn development. I want to test something, I will go and I will find the bugs. I will find the defects into the system. I'm interested in pipelines, right? Learn about that cloud. Learn about that. What's stopping you to learn right now and at this stage? And then when you have the right set of skills on your plate and then when you go to the interview, you have that confidence. You get that confidence. This was a planned mock interview. But I think this was the feedback which you require right now at this stage. Uh do you know any technology your area of interest in anything like have you learned testing or have you learned development anything anything that you know uh sir I'm more interested in DevOps and I do I have done training in DevOps only because I'm not comfort uh so because I'm not comfortable in uh coding thing so that is why I choose DevOps so that I can uh but who told you in DevOps there is no coding first of all first is the this thing who told you there is no coding this This is a very uh Have you heard about Groovy scripts? Uh no sir, you are a DevOps engineer. Uh sir, in my training I uh have um done only in Linux. So that is why I think so. Okay, it's okay. It's just a normal talk. So it means coding. You don't have to fear coding. Why AI is there now? He will write code for you. Understand the technology. Understand what kind of let's say infra I need to build a website. Now I when I'm writing the code that for that AI is there he will help me as a fresher. Now what is the second thing? Building a logic. How I can do that? I will start with a DSA. I will I will I will practice DSA. I will solve everything what is there on the geeks for geeks website. I will go and I will solve all the problem statements every day one problem. I will not stress my brain. I will sit for one hour. I will pick one problem statement and how I'm going to solve it. I am going to sit. I'm going to look for the problem. First day I'm not able to solve it. Now what you will do? Go back home, sleep again, come back second day, pick up a second problem. No, go to the GPT, ask GPT, hey GPT, give me the solution. Now it gave you the solution. Sit, learn, sit and just debug the code. See what that code is doing. What exactly it is doing, what it has done. So let's say if I write for I= to0, I less than equals to 10, I ++ print I, is printing the values from 0 to 10. Right? As simple as that. Now why semicolon is there? Why less than symbol is written less like this? Why we have used everything in small? Why we are concerned here? It is a loop printing the 10 values. This should be the mindset. Debug the code. Understand what it is. Now once you understand that do a dry run of now try to break that try to see what if if I give this value there will be some values with which your code will start failing that is a bug now go back come back second day pick up a new problem repeat the same thing do it for another 10 days 11th day you solving a complex problem on your own maybe partially. 21st day like the 20th day or the 21st day you are actually solving a complex problem. Now you are working on the time complexity. Now you are working on the space complexity. Dude you are prepared for the interview just with a simple set of habit that you are following every day. It's all in your mind. It's all you have to do. Is it a rocket science? No, not at all. It is not difficult. It's all in your mind and you are just overthinking and making it complex. So this interview was with respect to uh all together testing domain. What idea do you have about this and why you appeared for this mock interview? So first of all I want uh to break down my loopholes by where I'm lacking in interview. first thing. Secondly, my confidence level will boost up by giving more and more mock interviews. My English will become more uh fluent in interviews. Second thing, the third thing is I will uh learn more about uh with the realtime problems as of my uh I will generate in my mind. I will discuss it with someone else so that the other person perspective will be uh uh generate towards me. Third and the fourth thing is uh I will learn more new things with the experience that I got from interviews. So these are the four things I uh recommend I uh give interview like mock interview sir. Okay. So I would again give you the same feedback that practice a bit. I don't see problem with your English. It's good. There's no problem with the English. It's okay. Relax. Don't be nervous, right? Be a bit focused, right? And again decide what. So whatever you pick go in depth, not theoretical part. I'm talking with respect to the uh your uh practical implementation. You have to ensure that you know you are actually uh ensuring that you know you are practicing well so that you know you are able to clear the interviews. So practical knowledge is important over here. It's the theoretical part for me or anything you want to ask but to automation or coding or whatever you are comfortable tell me. Uh so first of all like I already said my domain is DevOps. So I want to pursue my career in DevOps only. Okay. So I gave interviews before in DevOps field only but they somehow reject me with I don't know what is the feedback. They don't give me the feedback. So I now tell me one thing. Tell me one thing. Let's say you get a job today. For example, today Microsoft was hiring for a Q engineer. They reached out to you. You will not give the interview. Uh so definitely I will do. Why? But you want only DevOps. [Music] So I open your options as of now because you're a fresher. try to get into a job rather than a domain. I don't know for a fresher choosing a domain in the initials of their career if they are not choosing SD it's very difficult and again choosing a domain like I want to be a devops very difficult I want to be a you know product manager very difficult we we should look you from tier one college tier two or tier three the tire Okay then we have to beta we have to be open for the opportunities we should be flexible I will I will I will learn anything get into that give you a blood and sweat at least you will start earning you will have that confidence slowly gradually eventually you will reach to that stage where okay let's let's take a move to some and people do move their domains any number of people worked as a SD for 10 years, moved as a QA in 11th year, moved as a product manager in 11th year, moved as a into marketing in 12th year or 15th year of their career. There many people have done that. There's one one very good example. He was a AGM in his company. He started from where the fresher start. He started from there. I know him that guy personally. People do change their domain. So that time will come. But I think before that I would this is my piece of advice to you. Try to give all the interviews. Wherever you see fresher 2023 pass out can apply go ahead and give it forget about okay after 5 years today you are not you know earning at least you will have a job you will and again does it mean sir can I go and give a you know interview in BO? No, I mean it right and prepare for it. Don't run away. If you want to be in it, you have to shake hand with the coding. Coding is not difficult. I I have lost a lot of time because of this thought that coding is for somebody who for me it I have lost a lot of time in my career. I never recommend anybody okay you know you do the same mistake you have geeks for geeks platform go ahead explore it they are free right recently uh geeks for geeks posted we promise we are free to we were free yesterday we are free today and we will be free tomorrow something like that they posted I read they are free they are actually kind of a I used to learn from geeks for geeks website go ahead pick up explore it's free now read what where your interest lies and then you have the AI explore that but prepare right so I hope anika this helps you like in your career you really get land up getting a very good job prepare right prepare well and give all interns sky is the limit so many startups are ready they need motivated people they need energetic youth the new the new kids the new genesis they need the genzi generation who will come and who will rock the floor something like go ahead search for a job you will definitely you're going to get it bump people's LinkedIn with you know reference give me the referral take references you will get an interview call but make sure while you're asking for a reference are you prepared now you go tomorrow and knock the door of a Google. Hey Google, I want to give the interview. Am I prepared? No, I have never done the coding. It's a wrong gate, right? Prepare or maybe you can start with some startup something. But be open for all opportunities as of now and then eventually you can move into specific. Sure. Sir one last s one thing also uh sir just sir uh you have told me about not don't be specific on a on a same domain like devops so like in fullstack or in any other uh domain there are many other pro programming languages like h HTML or CSS or JavaScript this is something very new for me like Python or Java Java is something that I know from college. But uh like JavaScript or HTML or these are the you start with you you do one thing you learn testing. Okay. Easy to start learn you learn about manual testing you learn about automation. You now when I say automation you will understand where core Java is actually being used. What is a framework? how you can develop your own framework. Now once you have automated where I will use this automation what help this automation will bring learn that entire journey of testing and when you are comfortable because it's easy I will not sit once you're comfortable with the coding area and then you feel okay I want to explore fullstack development you don't have to restrict with one language your career choose a technology I want to develop a mobile application I I I want to work on a let's say Android app development I will go and I will I will I will learn the Android app development now whether it Android app development requires Java or Android app development requires Python I will take care of it I want to learn how a mobile app is developed never restrict I I tell it to all the freshers in the initial days of your career never limit yourself with language even for for your entire career. Never limit yourself. Like tomorrow I I have been into a situation where today I was working on Java and tomorrow I was working on Python. Concept is same only. Now there also loop is there. Here also loop is there. There also we create method. Here also we create method. Syntax change. Everything is same. Right? It is just a language. So never restrict yourself with a language. Never love a technology, any one tech particular technology. No, no, no. I am a selenium guy. I will only work with selenium. You're always going to have a crunch of job. Be flexible. Be flexible. I be flexible with location. No, no, I want something in New Delhi, NCR only. Why? Because my I I'm going to stay near to my parents. It's good to stay near to your parents. Take your parents with you. But you are getting a good opportunity in Chennai. go. When I was at your age, I was flexible enough to move even to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, you send me anywhere, I will just go when I was not getting a job my and I was struggling when I lost my first job. I was not getting any call. I was 2016 pass out 17 was CDC 18 I got laid off. I'm not getting a job anywhere. I was very tense. I remember there was a job of 8,000 rupees per month in New Delhi where I decided to start my career. My parents said no it's not needed. Why you have to even do that? Go ahead and do something else. I said no I will go at least I will do something. I will start from somewhere. And then I got Amazon during that time. I got a better start. But was it the start which I want was looking for? No. But then things fall in place. Was it easy? No. But I kept working. I had faith in Mahadev. Everything is going to h you know go well. Have faith. Work with full effort. Do your best. Things will fall in place. To boost your confidence. Now you already know DevOps. Learn testing. Learn one technology. Forget about everything. Go ahead. You know know Java, right? You said you know Java. Little go and learn go and learn just YouTube selenium. Go and learn the selenium. Just see how it goes. See how confident you are getting seeing that YouTube video of selenium. Selenium with Java. Just write selenium with Java for beginners. Go back watch that video. Now just don't watch like a movie. Try to create a small script on your own. you will realize oh I did automation getting my point now try to think okay let me automate my Facebook account I will open Facebook I will log in my username I will log in my password I will click on sign in and Facebook will get open write a code for it confidence will come this will boost up your confidence and see if you are enjoying that become a tester Who is stopping you? There are so many things. Explore GFG. They I think they have this SGD course as well. Let's say you started liking the coding part. Explore the fullstack development. GFG offers fullstack development. Go ahead, learn it, put it in your resume, go out, give the interview, get a job. As simple as that. 6 month development. Six month testing. Three month DevOps. Three month prepare. Now learn a technology not a language. I always say learn a technology not a language. Be flexible with location. No work from homes. No Delhi NCR or Bangalore. I'm getting Chennai. No problem. I will go. I'm getting Kerala. No problem. I will go. It's the first job. Take experience. Learn. Switch now wherever you want to. Who is this topic? I hope Anika this gives you some confidence and you do well in your career. Sure sir. Any any more questions for me? Uh sir actually I was preparing for DevOps interview only. So I uh learn more about DevOps. Prepare. I'm not saying that you drop DevOps. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that keep your options open. Keep all your options open. Just don't restrict yourself with okay. No, I will only go for de I want to go for I'm getting opportunity for let's say development. Go for it. Now right now you don't have anything. At least you will have something right. Think that way see the more flexible you are the more options you will get the more you will restrict yourself and it's all assumption QA also does not hi-fi coding is required for you you can to get started with at least what I have said start with that on the YouTube you will understand and I'm telling you you can even do the development also not a big deal Right. Okay. So, so can you ask me some questions that uh test my knowledge about uh Okay. Let me let me take some uh let me ask something on the Java. You said Java. So tell me what is a constructor and what is the usage of a constructor? Why we needed constructor? Uh sir as per my knowledge constructor is built with object uh with the object with uh uh what do you mean by with the object um some uh with uh constructor uh what is the difference between abstraction and an interface very common interview question but I want to understand with the real type itself where it can fit in. Sir abstraction is uh sir uh abstraction is means hiding unnecessary details or uh showing only the important details. It is one of the pillar of oops it will what this is all definition where you have used abstraction. So in real life example like we uh we see a car in a car uh in a car everything is hidden like the engine or the wiring. May that I don't want to understand with that example. I'm asking with respect to the coding terms. Um coding terms. Okay. Okay. Tell me if I want to add number what will be the Java code for it? Uh sir, I'm more confident in Python actually. But you said uh Java. Uh no sir, I am in a initial stage of Java. I'm a little bit uh nervous in Java sir. So that is only my uh m big uh confidence uh breaker. So any any other question is asked. So I uh break my confidence there and there only sir. You are blocking yourself. I I'm asking you very basics. So you have to prepare. A what is the extension of a Python file? extension py. Okay. Now what if if I want to run a Python program, what should I do? Uh sir it uh there are different methods like you use visual code or uh uh uh uh notepad or any Python compiler online Python compiler or what is what is a build? Build you've never heard the term build. Have you ever built your program? H yes I have built it. What is build? So build means uh create a program of some of some problem. Then programmer is a program. But what is a build? [Music] Focus on the basics. Let's focus on you know these basics where you you can uh see key uh basics does not means the definition basic means the concept for example build I will explain this to you rest whatever I have asked go ahead and explain you have a you use Facebook or Instagram What is the size of that application? So 100 120 MB in the real time the Instagram the developer who has created is the 120 MB Instagram. No it would be the codes would be in laks and crows lines of code would have been written for that to build that application somewhere. Lacks of engineers are working in Facebook. Millions and of engineers are working in Google right but for us what it is google.com enter google is open to build this page 100 million engineers or 10 million engineers are written no the thing that we are using is a build that code is bundled together to form a build so that it can run on a platform form if let's let's suppose somebody wants to use Facebook and Facebook would have said no go ahead and install vis visual studio I'm giving you my code then only you can use it do you think Facebook would be Facebook today no he gave a build now when you write a piece of code and when you run it a build gets generated you would you would have seen the error build got failed Huh? Some exception on your build. What is that build? Ever give you give a thought what is that build? Your code is bundled together and now it is running hot in a layman language I'm explaining. You can read more about it or just go through it. This is the core concept and this is what I mean to say your basics should be strong. People take it generally. Okay. Basics means okay uh what is selenium? What is uh testing? No basics means I want to go for parallel execution. What you are going to do and how you are going to achieve. Now people promptly respond that hey we are just going to you know go into our testg.xml file and we are going to add a thread count and we are going to use a keyword parallel and par. No this is not the right answer. Again, you're not from this background, so you cannot relate to this question. But what I'm trying to explain here is that your concepts should be very strong. Your foundation should be very strong. Don't focus on definition and rata findings. Understand the it's very easy. Go ahead, pick one topic. Abstraction. Go to GPT. Tell me I know what abstraction is. Now tell me the real time the scenarios developer would be using or in the scenarios a QA or a devops guy would be using abstraction he will give you list of example read it not able to understand ask him to explain again read it you know the you know the answer and you will never forget in your life it's it's a kind of hint that I'm giving to you okay uh any questions and chika you have before we wrap Uh sir first of all thank you so much. You boost my confidence very well and uh secondly I I follow your instructions and I start my uh career in other fields as well. I'm not restricted to DevOps only or Python uh programming language only. And thirdly, I um consider more myself as a good uh programmer or a good IT engineer, not as a anything else. And fourthly, um you gave me a confidence of uh doing everything that I wanted not only in uh the restricted place. So thank you so much. And any anyone can do anything in life. So keep up that confidence and I'm pretty sure that you at times you will feel demotivated or sad or you know you might be feeling things are not working out it but get up cheer up yourself motivate yourself and just go out and start again. You never know how what is waiting for you tomorrow. You know you're stuck at home. No, I'm not going to give a try. I'm bounded with that sadness and I'm just demotivating myself. It's not going to go ahead and try. The opportunity was right there waiting for you. It was waiting for you. But you didn't went and took it took that up. Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep filling. Keep trying. Keep filling. End of A. Tell me one thing. It's for all the freshers who are watching me right now. Tell me one thing. What is what is this uh what is the salary first salary that you are expecting that can that will make you happy? What is your thought sir? As aspect of salary I'm not uh in a foundation. But I'm asking in a very like casual talk like I can like if I had this salary I am very happy like when I was at your age I used to think if I get like 50,000 per month I think I'm sorted my all party and all and all expenses I will cover that 50,000 my life is sorted so what is your that thought key okay I wish this was the number what is that number sir 50 60 50 60 Yeah, you can make that money doing any number of things and number of right things to all the freshers who are currently demotivated and thinks you know I cannot do anything or this is the end beyond this it also there is a world in BO also if you join now you will get a starting 30,000 In 2 years you will get 70,000 60 50,000 40 50,000 in BPOS they get now earning 50,000 rupees per month please don't be demotivated for that earning 50 lakh a year and you are at currently at a package of let's say 20 lakhs a fine be little sad for some time work on it get that still I will not say to be sad all about it. But life is beyond this, right? You will literally do land end up doing something. What is 50,000 by the way? Just 50,000. You you say 50 60,000, right? So what is 50,000? If I if I go to the calculator 50,000 fine divided by 30 like 1,600 rupees a day h per day. H there are n numbers just Google how to make 1,000 rupees a day they it will give you 10 options trust me you will say doing this no it will not work try it out it will work you earn 50,000 now 80 plan it go for it what you can do that you can own that 1 1600 rupees a day is job the only way right and I'm not again saying you know job is not good or it gives a lot of experience you learn a lot you it's it's a good thing to there are 10,000 startups every day a startup is getting started you're not concerned about money now go join some of say I will work for free take maybe you would need someone to you know just do very small task copying the data from Excel file and putting it somewhere I will do that now go there and see what others are doing show your interest pitch in put pick put put your nose on all those stuff but don't be demotivated because once you have the skills once you know and this struggle is going to pay you off. You're going to remember these days. I'm telling you. Always cheer up yourself. Whenever you feel demotivated, think 50,000 to I will anyway. Even if I even if I put a momo stall, I will make 90,000 a lakh rupees. That's fine. Setting up a momo stall is not much expensive. I will set up a momo stall. I will earn one lakh. Now you you you expected 50,000 you are earning one lakh. happy feeling happy at least right now think about that okay every evening I will keep somebody or I will go over there I have to just serve them I will get one lakh rupees a month I'm not asking you to do that but that gives you a motivation fine life is good so never let your mind control you with your negative thoughts try to divert it and that is what the agenda was why I was experiencing that will give you a lot of confidence and this confidence is very important at this point of time in your life because of this confidence there is no issue with your talent and I'm ana there is no issue with your talent if I have to rate you in Java out of 10 I will not say h one or two no even if you could not answer my two three stupid questions that's fine what a big deal you will just go and you will read in five minutes you will know What is the answer of that? So you are capable to understand things which means you are in a good position. Don't underestimate yourself because that is hampering you right. Right? Motivate yourself. Read good books. Talk to friends. Relax. Chill. Taking a stress is not going to take you to a job, right? And you will land a bit. Don't keep learning. Keep coding. Keep practicing. Keep doing things definitely things will fall in place. Okay. I hope that helps actually. Ah yes sir very very much. Okay. Thank you sir for everything. No problem. Thanks. Bye. Keep smiling.
