Let's go..!. I wish harkirat do more podcasts. I like his perspectives in general out side coding too.
I like Avi man...He is quite but I know he is one of the dev gem...2011 making social media...damn...😮
avi was a little quite but i really loved this guy
Only if Rishabh Pant let others share their opinion this would have been an awesome podcast
Agree 😂😂
Harkirat bhaiya bring a motivational Video for us to stay focused on The 0-100 cohort....❤ We love your teaching
isn't good teaching enough for you to stay motivated? I'm not in the cohort & do everything on my own, that's why asking
@@doofus8 teaching is good but our placement season is also coming and gaining confidence is also important as we are not engaged in Dev only....DSA part is also going on...previous revision....Core subjects at the same time our semesters and practicals are also there so it feels like if we are doing much or lacking something...this is the big game
@@shaankhaan1686 got it.. so you're involved in multiple things right now so it's less likely to focus on a particular part of your overall preparation... I get it
Actually I'm just in 1st year so it's just managing GPA & learning new things for me so everything is going smoothly right now
@@shaankhaan1686Bro u will not get a job for sure
motivation khud se lao
Avi guy is amazing the clarity of his words and cut to cut on point talking style is amazing.
What a podcast loved it Harkirat Sir!!
shiva sir is just awesome.. very straight forward and open person.
Thank you striver, harkirat and everyone out there ❤❤❤
Amazing.. such knowledge sharing should happen frequently..Really enjoyed this podcast
Appreciated 👍❤
damm the video was very informative sir!
this is the longest video which i have watched fully,
i would love to have see more of these Harkirat sir.
Bro is again with another banger
Loved Shiva's ending note "career bhot lamba hai , kuch na kuch ho hi jayega" ❤
loved it , great inspiration and a reality check for freshers like me. thank you and keep bringing more such content.
This was an excellent podcast, so much value out of the talented guests. I'm not even in the Software domain anymore, oh and I need to wake up early for meeting tomorrow...
Second guy looks like Rishabh Pant
I thought i was the only one who saw that lol
kaise jaan jaate hai bawa aap mn ki baat🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was really awesome ! it was like sitting with bunch of friends and discussing tech and their perspectives on a long chat. Each person has a diff character. perspective, outlook and whatnot. Very engaging one. i binged , its 2:00 AM.
Loved the podcast.!!
## Key takeaways
- Anyone can achieve anything if they believe in themselves and remain consistent toward their goal.
- Focus on the journey and the learning process, not always on the end goal.
- Skills matters lots more the just degree in CS.
- Skills matters lots more the just degree in CS.
- DSA is 100% important for FAANG.
- Life is a long journey. If you don't achieve your goals immediately, don't despair. Instead, work on enhancing your skills and maintaining a positive attitude. Over time, you will likely reach your goals, or perhaps even surpass them. So, remain joyful, enjoy the journey, and express gratitude.
- Excel in one particular domain and consistently upgrade your skills.
- People often overestimate what they can accomplish in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in 10 years.
wow i wasn't expecting this
This was a very informative and awesome podcast Harkirat bro ❤❤
We want more podcast's like these bro 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
The collab we didn't asked but we needed
Watched this whole podcast in one stretch and it motivated me especially for DSA coz I'll be going to 4th year and 2 mahine mein acche se DSA karna hai and relieved the stress for sure. Seeing Avi bhaiya(I'm from IIIT Kota) there really inspired me(bhaai aaj IIITs acknowledge ho gaye finally🥲). Then today one more thing happened, I've always had this thing ki I wasn't able to get into IIT and you know I thought something is lacking in me or I am low in IQ from IITians and stuff like that(I've moved on from it like 95%) but seeing Shiva bhaiya and Striver there, it has gone up to 99% for sure(baaki 1% I guess time ke saath ho jaayega). And then watching Shiva bhaiya was fun and he taught me so many things today(I'll incorporate his chillness more in my life for sure and if I could meet him someday it'd be a fanboi moment fs) plus he is so grounded and so humble like damn!! Baaki, Harkirat bhaiya is always a delight and he is the one I look up to(among a very few people).Loved every minute of it❤❤❤❤❤❤
Keep grinding guys, sahi jagah apne aap pahunch jaaoge.👌👌
Arey bhai bhai! 🙌 ❤
@@shivasoni2064 🙌🙌❤❤
DSA is a great path bro. Best of luck.
@@shivasoni2064 ♥️♥️
@@aviaryan thank you very much 🙏
damn bhaii, conversation btw**
Great content man!!
Shout out to my super senior banging his place out there... (IIIT VADODARA one)
Love you kira
just wow ! ♦♥ two of my favourites in a single v !
Its so inspiring conversation and loat of motivation ❤❤
Best Podcast 🌟❤️
Thanks bhaiya ❤
Bhai isse bolthe hai podcast!! 🔥
hey folks, just wanna say that I recently interviewed with GS and got an internship offer over there. But the thing I really would like to highlight is that DSA is very important (First thing they would reject you over). But it is also important to have some hands on experience with projects as during my third round of interview, interviewer asked me about my projects and although I explained things thoroughly but I was not handy with some React concepts so it made him say that How would you rate out yourself as a software developer on a scale of 10. This really made me think otherwise.
I am really enjoying building products as of now. Thanks to you Harkirat Sir. I would really appreciate of I could get a chance to meet you once.
Thanks
Great podcast ❤️
Appreciable 🎉
Shiva proves what a bad hire at google feels like & how some folks got into google and just coast and rest & vest.
Sirji!! aapse ho payega agar, to aap bhi coding interview crack krke aajao google. fir aap bhi coast and rest and vest kr lena.
Exactly.
lol , jokes on you, been there done that. I have taken google interviews for fun and rejected offers from them and a few more. These days Google isn't the best place to be.
+1
Real OG's in the HOUSE
Hey I love you guys, Currently I am working in Service based company, but definitely I will product based company soon. Thank you all
Ur cohorts are literally awesome whats more for us ?
Thanks kirat sir you are amazing
This was great 😁
Although whatever I know i have learnt from them, at the end of day I see em all as my competitors
awesome guys. Great video
Gaurav sen should have been here.. He would have replied well to those saying solving dummy problems is the way..
Gaurav Sen and Arpit Bhyani for the matter of fact.. they are great folks
then what do you say development is better than dsa in college days, pls tell ?
@@sarthakgulati8948 All I am saying is if you only do DSA in college, after you graduate you will be having an engineering degree and no real engineering skills.. And that should be shameful but it isn't because so many people around us are like that..
Also, you are given 4 years for a degree and if you are saying, you can't do both and do 110% DSA only.. That is just mental corrosion and nothing else. People feel proud to crack JEE, then proud to be in FANG.. These things bugs me.. It should be about the process.
Engineers build things, they can see problems others can't see. Linus Torvalds started linux as a fun project, it is now everywhere.. He built git because it was being hard to handle projects as more and more people are working on it. These are the problems, he saw, he tried solving them and as it turns out, changed the world in so many ways.
Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook when he was in his second year of college.. Elon Musk developed a game and sold it when he was 13.. and we Indians want to give our lives to dummy problems and feel proud of that..
Watch this: ua-cam.com/video/VyCydURHzvw/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared&t=78
This is Richard Feynman, a Noble Prize winner saying "Noble Prize is a pain in the ***" and shares an interesting story that is very related to what is happening nowadays. Someone gets to a MNC and thinks, he has achieved what not but can't really get someone interested in the field they work in but to brainwash them.
It is like the British era where people are being trained to work in factories.. We doing DSA to get crack job interview of a corporate factory.
Decide for yourself, if you want to be an engineer of a DSA solver..

Shiva is not flower but fire🔥, But the real OG is Avi.
i can connect to this video so much best part about my life is from a non tech background tier 2 collage now working and leading tech guys from tier 1 collages and IIT guys are messaging you to work under you and best part conducting there interviews #HarkiratSingh bhai OP video
are you hiring?
Best podcast 🎉🎉
I don't know anyone noticed or not but Shiva looks like healthy rishabh pant😅😂..btw very inspiring session & kudos to everyone🤟
They are talking about hacking online judging platforms.? Has Harkirat made any video on it? And what's the site name
Harkirat is op 🔥🔥❤️
Please more videos like this ...
needed this podcast so badly
Bro when the new batch of cohort course is starting
It would have been really interesting to see Prasoon in this podcast :( missed oppurtunity
Good podcast man 🚀
Everyone was amazing relate toh bhai shiva se bahut hua😅
Really insightful, Yup.
Thank you Rishabh Pant for being honest but motivating at the same time ❤
most of the guys here started code early, I am at my 30s from non CS background and started code just learned C++ , yet to learn DSA beside a full time job. Is it a big bet I am taking. How should I further approach in my dev journey?? seeking humble guidance, thanks
❤
I think the conversation should be of how to create more jobs rather than discussing about different type of jobs...............
This shiva guy got offended for a light joke by harkirat instantly went to defensive mode
And also replying every hatred comment 😂😂😂
people who actually understand what FinTech means, will never make a mistake to call Goldman Sachs a fintech😂. Its an IB which uses some tech. Fintechs are paypal, stripe and affirm etc
First 🔥🔥🔥
It almost felt like Harkirat is on Striver's podcast
Wow...
Make a video on roadmap for aiml and how to get good job in aiml field
tier 2 tier 3 don't get interview call. that is the issue.
and we don't need DSA. low paying 2LPA 3LPA job can be had without any DSA just basic coding skill
the tier 3 college guy should make a youtube channel he seems interesting!!
Nice
Hi Harikirat, thank you for sharing insights about placements at IIT Roorkee. While I appreciate the positive information, I noticed your mention of 'the last ranker in SC category' (14:16) in a way that may come across as dismissive or stigmatizing. I believe it's important to recognize and respect the efforts and achievements of all students, regardless of their background. IITs provide a platform for growth and excellence to everyone, and it's essential to celebrate that inclusivity without unintentionally perpetuating stereotypes. You're just picking up the caste game in the IITs, which is not good to be pointed out. So, Let's focus on the success and potential of every individual. Thanks!
Womp womp
I don't think he was saying it in a negative way. He just mentioned that someone being from a "certain category" and having so high rank just got the seat in IITR CSE. I don't know about you, but I am also in IIIT and I have really seen people struggle, who just comes due to reservation. NO HATRED TO THOSE PEOPLE. But in my opinion it is not fair. He just pointed out that and it is the bitter truth of society and we must accept.
Very useful!!
Hi Bhaiya, could you please do a video explaining WebRTC ? ...... BTW enjoying all your videos 😄
Wow
Im still looking for remote job. Applied multiple times. No results.
Can anyone suggest ?
Kirat and Striver combination is op 🔥
Baaki sab ek taraf but bhai ki tshirt mast hoti hai hamesha. Link dedo.
Second🎉🎉🎉
❤😊

Bro used to do cp because of the adrenaline rush.
Nice 👍
Ja raha hun pura dekhne
only watching by leaving my recursion question at mid because of striver
Second ❤
is it me or do you feel that Harkirat talks really fast?🤗
Didnt know Rishab pant went to IIT R and was a software dev
who they are talking about at 1:26:00 ?
Do we have socials of these guys?
That moment "dp 51" wow
How can i know is FAANG companies are hiring?
Noice
1:11:29 just a reference motivation for me to do better , and work harder for my placements , not really related to anybody else here
DIE HARD FANS OF STRIVER ATTENDANCE HERE.................
01:06:59 ab development karu ya nhi ? 😢
1:24:50 - 1:27:39 Kar leta hu developlement 😆
We want web3 cohort
harkirat bhai live kab karo jye?
After watching these videos my days are going well 😂😂
While I respect Striver a lot.. 4:40 Where he mentioned Jalpaiguri Govt as to be among top 5 engg colleges I disagree.. the top 5 in WB are IIT Kgp, IIEST Shibpur, NIT Dgp, Jadavpur University and Calcutta University.. And if you stretch the ranking you have Kalyani Govt Engg College and IEM KOlkata which are considered better than Jalpaiguri Govt.
