You forgot to mention constant curiosity for learning new things.
Hardwork can only take you so far before you burn yourself.

I’m Engineering project manager with Apple currently, was with facebook before. So, if you prepare for one of this company & can get offer, u will able to clear others too.. though there will be few variations here & there. Its not rocket science from my experience & its not even that only ivy college students get there. Its the confident with what you carry urself. There companies most of the time is looking for the approach to the solutions. And offcourse the HR do help you in all the way, tips & tricks, topics on which the question will be asked. Last year i went for google but later didnt proceed only bcoz it was more towards business & towards business technology sync. I still have touch with the HR. having good relation with HR do help along the way. BYW, my resume was written by me without any help from expert. So, its more portrait urself to ur best, keep it simple & small with all keywords. Best of luck for anyone trying. Let me iterate its not a rocket science to clear any of these interviews & its also not that u need to best of the best in the industry to get through there. Be confident, know ur craft & apply logic & the respective company values while answering. Ask question & clarification before you completely understand the question & then answer.
Thank you Bidisha.
Thanks it was very helpful 🙂
thank you so much
Mam, you inspired me today. Thank you so much...😊
Thank you Bidisha for inspiring. I have recently got rejected for a engineering program manager role at amazon I kinda disappointed and lost confidence on me . I want to know how did you able to crack that, it’s not a rocket science but what’s your schedule be like ??? . Have you learnt through joining any classes or is it just your own style of preparation I’m just curious. Thanks in advance
Bro, the massive amount of books he displays in the background is probably the reason for getting those offer letters.
Hhhaa he don't have other life.. Life should be balance
@@MrSankalpsawant ... Maybe that's all his life.
That’s just a background you can select from app
@@MrSankalpsawant what is another life.one should lead a life by doing what he enjoys.may be he love it
no cap you right about that
Tremendously helpful conversation.
Have been looking at bunch of interviews but I must say, this one is commendable! Great job guys.
i think the library visual behind him helped at least 5% , for the interview :)
I think that's a good idea put up books and wear specks! Get selected
This was a wonderful interview. Prasad comes across as a real down to earth guy and your interview was excellently done. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I had my second round of interview today this video cleared so many things and i gotta know where i need to work more although m not selected but it was a good interview with friendly recruiters.
Very well illustrated. Kudos to you both. Especially Dhaval Patel, unlike other channel's host- You played a very key role in making this really presentable !!! Thanks!
Great! Truly inspiring 👍 worthy to share. Hope this helps my friends/colleagues with their job search. Last 2 months, I got just 2 full time jobs (with H1B transfer) in 2 USA core companies ( non-it). Keep up the good work.
How did you get it ?
Non IT? Show us the way bro
Greetings from Greece! I completely agree with Prasad, his insight is greatly appreciated.
Great content, the interviewee mentioned amazing points. I have interviewed for Microsoft and Amazon both unsuccessfully. Congratulations on cracking 10!!!!
Very nice video. Thx for putting this together. I have always been very critical of the interview process in general because it always felt like the interview process is to fail the interviewer. Now here we are with top level companies doing it right :-) So good to hear that the interviewer is there to help you get the correct answer. Very encouraging indeed.
Awesome work Prasad! Congratulations and Good Luck!
Great...hats off to both of you 1 for cracking those interview and for Davesh sir for presenting and educating us
glad you liked in Robin
Very helpful...Congratulations @prasad for Stripe
Brother, you publish one of the best content on youtube about tech ! please keep going !
Regardless of all the comments about Experience, there is some great information shared over here. Thanks a lot, both of you. I realized Prasad is my senior from University. Proud of him.
Splendid session to help people.
Thanks for the session ❤️
Feels good to be a recruiter. Feels good to help these professionals to get the best possible project in US.
If u don't mind can you briefly tell about getting into IT field for beginners
@@hruthikms9828 sure! Kindly reach me out at ig : wandering kartik.
@@wanderingkartik920 could you please tell me your profile name
I couldn't find any profile with name wondering Karthik
@@hruthikms9828 brother its same as my TH-cam name "wandering kartik" not "wondering karthik" 😊
@@wanderingkartik920 if you don't mind can I get the link of your profile
Awesome video 💯 Thank you so much for making it and thank you Prasad for your information 💯. Please make more videos like these.
I am happy this was helpful to you.
Excellent interview. Thanks for producing and sharing this.
Very brilliant knowledge sharing. Prasad you are gem!
very much insightful and I'm really grateful for this video. Thank you!
Who else thinks, he speaks like Dhoni, also he must be cool as him in his head!!👍
I felt the same...
This session is really helpful even though I am not a developer. I am a Sr infrastructure Engineer. Great tips Prasad. Thank you Deval Patel!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great interview! To the folks saying he has a lot of experience, that counts for nothing in the interview. Sure, it may get you to the first interview, but after that, you are on your own. Hence, listen to his advice.
And also to mention the level of interview questions that scale up with the candidate's experience.
The interview structure in India is different in terms of competition , so some tips here are relevant if your looking for a job in India , but most of it like recruiters giving ample amount of time is not true unless its a FANG due to the 60-90 days of notice period in Tech companies
Thanks for bringing such kind of real world content... thankful to you
I am happy this was helpful to you.
Learning a lot from you guys. Great work
The old ways of doing things are in the past. Beyond the pandemic, many companies will continue to hire remote workers. It saves them some expenses and gives them a larger pool of candidates to work with from all around the world. You have to constantly evolve and change in the industry. Great interview, it was insightful.
So proud of youu that u r one of our relative .would really like to take your advice 😊
Thank you so much, great conversation!
this video clip was very very informative and helpful. Thank you both one more time for putting these together for the viewers.
Glad it was helpful!
Prasad is my senior college mate. And I have seen him evolving over the period of time. He is super genius. Thanks for this conversation. Tremendously useful. Best luck buddy
If u have US visa u can be that genius
Let's all get a US visa I know it's not easy but we can dedicate one year even partly to prepare for this coding interview and learning trending web dev or mobile on the side then we can either go freelancing to save a little or directly start applying for remote job in order to get a work permit and then a Visa , we can do it
Hi im also your namesake...prasad
though im a financial management guy, i liked your interview a lot, in the sense, i can relate and substitute during my interviewing(instead of coding my link cud have financial management snippets etc)
thank you so much sir.
very very helpful please continue like this...also it would be helpful if u make a video on "PROFILE BUILDING "
Is it only algorithms data structures and system design ? What programming language did you use? Will there be rounds to check the prog lang proficiency? Like in case of Java, do they ask about springboots hibernate annotations etc for a 15 yoe senior developer. If so what type of questions? Could you please touch upon those ?
He is almost 40 years of age. Had experience at FIS, barclays, BOA, bloomberg. At that kind of experience you surely can crack these companies.
yeah, experience matters a lot, i mean a lot
Nope. Experience does not help in algorithms. May help in system design. Remember no on even in Amazon will be solving puzzles like binary search etc in everyday work. That is ridiculous and insulting experience.
@@greatwisdom2867 True but the dev job market is specially designed for people with EXPERIENCE.
@@greatwisdom2867 True. But most of the times the employer always thinks that experienced candidates are more worthy.
Eh, not entirely. Coding interviews have questions that you just need to grind and prepare for, not something you would really get good at through SWE experience. Tons of engineers already working in the industry fail these questions. But ya the experience of having interviewed before and being familiar with the process is definitely an advantage in helping you stay calm and composed.
Can someone help me? I got an offer from state company through temp agency contract is for 1 year they are telling me to start from 8 to 5 pm with some possible weekly rotation. What I dont understand in california you need only 30 minutes break and employer keep on insisting for 1 hour lunch. It just seem wastage of 30 minute of time. Can someone advice me if I am correct or wrong?
Super Useful content for almost everyone who is seeking having the right opportunity. Great work man.
I appreciate you leaving a comment of appreciation
@codebasics I am not able to find his linkdin profile.What area he is in?
Thank you so much both of you to share the Interview preparation and resources. I noted lot of points. This is really helpful. Thank you once again.
Wish you all the best sakthi. 👍
Fantastic conversation. What Prasad describe is how I approached my interview which got me an offer.. be honest, the interviewer is there to work with you and have a conversation with them. They want to see how you fit in the team also
I am happy this was helpful to you.
useful conversations .... learnt many things... thanks guys
It was a very informative video to watch.I have a request if can do video on front-end system resources that should be good because there are still lack of resources on that topic
Hello sir
I want to know that the Geospatial analyst role can help me to get data science field in future? Or geospatial analyse experience is beneficial for me in future if I switch into data science?
Please reply
Good 👍. Very helpful. Virtual interviews don’t go well in Indian companies. Only few Interviewer r helpful & kind.
That was amazing, even though it was more around SWE, not DS :)
Amazing really amazing. Thank you for providing such great informations. And by the way I Love the way both of you guys are talking.
Glad you enjoyed it Asim!
He has extensive experience in IT and distributed systems... Offcourse he will get hired
Yash, That's an excuse saying "oh yes he had so much experience and obviously he would get hired". There are people who have years of experience and they find it hard to crack even single interview. Prasad cracked 10 in two months time period. Dude, that is an achievement and he mentioned solid soft techniques during the interview that anyone will find useful. Please watch the video carefully and take action on some of the things he mentioned such as getting paid service for mock interviews, using interviewer at your advantage by being a careful listener etc. I am sure anyone who doesn't have extensive experience would be able to crack interviews after that.
@@codebasics There's some misunderstanding, I am not giving any excuse. It's just that he has slight advantage because of US work experience and MBA. Offcourse he must have developed some skills over the years which would have fetched him the offer letters
@@yashwani612 Got it buddy. Work experience gives one the advantage in a way that one can build the skills but the whole point behind this interview is that there are some soft skills and preparation tactics that one can use in order to become successful :) Also trust me I know many people who have similar experience in USA (many years of experience) and yet they find it hard to crack interviews.
@@codebasics understood, Cracking interview is an art and I respect him for his interview skills.
experienced hire interviews are totally different to entry level ones! There is also less competition at higher levels
Thanks for this session Codebasics!! :) very useful.. also a question - Prasad's LinkedIn Profile doesn't have much write-up or certifications.. still recruiters were able to find him in their search list? any insight on that please? also, is it because of the large number of endorsements and recommendations he has?
interestingly this madness of interview preparation would take the next level and soon you would be required to join a training institution (leaving your current employer nowhere) to get the next job. Would these hiring companies mind if their current employee does the same with them? It's madness!
I see he build a high end pc just for coding , may god bless you.
Very informative! Thank you 🙏🏻
Would love to see a mock coding interview with him!
Hello, i got a doubt while i watched this , that is it good idea to mention the projects which are provided by courses mentors or platforms like udemy ? kindly leave a reply. Thanks 👍
Thank You guys for this interview.
Hi. Does anyone have experience with Interview Kick start? Or any other coding interview bootcamp? I am looking for a coding bootcamp and not sure which one to go for. Please recommend.
Awesome vdo. Very helpful 👍
Prasad's way of speaking reminds me of MS Dhoni.. as cool and as in depth as MSD.. nice content btw..
Agree
Hi .. Thanks for having this session. I gave interview in one of the company that you discussed but rejected after coding round. Reason was - "interviewer didn't feel that the level of coding shown in your interview matched what we are looking for right now".. Now I'm not sure what does that means... If possible please assist. Thanks.
very useful resources mention is this interview video 👍👍😍
Glad you liked it
Sir what should I do PG diploma in software engineering or pg diploma in machine learning in canada
Can you please add Chapters so it helps the viewers jump on the topic they are interested !
It will be great if you can share the resume with us in the description so that we can get more insight from that .
I'm 32 and have worked for a large telecoms company. I became exposed to programming when trying to solve some solutions in work. I had to learn about APIs, PHP, scripting templating languages, mysql, cronjobs, transactional emails, hosting, domains, html, javascript bootstrap and GDPR. Since then I decided to do a CS degree through an accredited distance learning university in the UK (where I am based) as a means to get rid of imposter syndrome and reinforce my learning and motivation. Would companies like FAANG appreciate a degree that a mature student has just earned after gaining experience, or i it not worth mentioning it?
Thanks for the information. Is there anyone I can cope with to review my resume? Thanks in advance
Very useful information shared, thanks for that, he says resume should be one page but the question is what should it contain and what not, especially those who has many years of experience.Any pointers/tips about this would be really helpful Thanks
Thank you so much for this.❤️❤️
sir i'm complet my data science course .how to find job i dont know??
I would like to know the reason to join affirm when you have good offers from many offers ?
I have a question
I want training in data analyst
Do you guys provide or know someone
Awesome content, can I ask you how you recorded this video? can you tell me which tool or site you used for this?
Informative!
It's really very systematic and informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Which lang is make good impression to interviewers for solving coding challenges python or java. I have both exp. . But I think if I choose python then it's easy to crack ? As syntax bit easier.. What you suggest?
Depends on the role, I heard a guy saying he did solve much in python but the requirement was for java role and the interviewer needed to evaluate his java skills ie, api usage and best practices etc....so if you can match up the requirement then prefer that lang
very informative video, thank you for making it and uploading it.
17:18 that was really great feast!! 😃
🤣🤣😂
Great content... Thank you so much Sir.
Most welcome!
I want to know is Prasad Sir talking about those companies in India or is he taliking about the main Head centre of the company ? And how can we apply those companies offcampus as a fresher ? I am now in First Year and I am from a private engineering college. Please tell me how should I prepare myself so that I can also crack those companies like Prasad Sir ??
that is an huge library behind you bro!
i dnot think i have words to thanks you both of you but i want to say this will be a turning point in my career
👍😊
I am happy this was helpful to you.
Any sample resume of him or a template to build...
Can I know the maximum age gap in employment for all the above companies please
Great Video
Thank you very much for the information
great session. Enjoyed every bit of it
Glad you enjoyed it
is it okay to have notes which you can review or read while having behavioral interview? Thanks for the video it was very helpful!!
The baseline is you need to set up a few bookshelves behind when having an interview, maybe can just rent some.
Same thought i had 😂
saw his profile and this guy legit has 2 decades of experience in the industry which is almost my own age so it is not wise to compare with him.
Market is definitely hot right now. I have converted 8 / 8 in the past 2 months. But back to back interviews are grueling. I had 5-6 rounds on some days.
thank you very much @codebasics and prasad sir's ..... this interview is very helped to me and others .... your shown a path where we have to go ... thank you
👍☺️
Great content! Thank you very much!!
Glad it helped!
Any books you suggest for coding !?
Great Video thanks for this one.
Glad you enjoyed it
@4:42, pain area for thousands, and you both are other side of it. It's a privilege for a Desi Techie guy. I left US for being other side of it (on H-1B), but Good work both of you and keep sharing the wonders.
I agree with you Viral. By the way I am still on H1-B :) waiting for my GC even after 13 years in the country. It sucks!
@@codebasics I wish you get your EAD ASAP, otherwise getting even an Interview in FAANG being on H1, is a mission. I Spend my whole professional career in US and got to take interview only once at Amazon.
Hi, I have interview with Facebook and Amazon. The interview date is on January 31st. Please give me a decent suggestion to prepare for it and please share with me if you know any materials.
