    Uninstalling Instagram and other distractions back in my first year felt like the right decision, but I still ended up procrastinating until my 5th semester mid (November 2024). Looking back, getting mocked by friends for uninstalling those apps now feels worth it-it allowed me to step away from toxicity and the trap of dream-selling.
    Seeing someone as experienced and dedicated as you, yet facing challenges like getting responses through portals despite having the "LinkedIn" tag, is both humbling and inspiring. It’s a powerful reminder of the effort required to achieve success.
    As a student from a Tier 3 college, I know I’ve started late, but your video has motivated me to work harder than ever. I don’t usually comment, but this truly resonated with me. Thank you, ma’am-this was an eye-opener and incredibly inspiring.

      When I was posting this video, I thought to myself, why am I even doing this, would this even matter? But if I was able to inspire even a single person, I call it a win. More power to you 💪

    First of all, I want to say that you were super confident in your first UA-cam video-it was amazing to watch! The ending line was very unique; I’ve never seen any UA-camr wrap up a video like that before.
    I’d love to see more content from you, especially a video on your DSA journey and the learning resources you used for System Design. If possible, it would be great if you could also share your resume along with its template or maybe a detailed video on how to create a similar one.
    Since you mentioned the importance of reaching out to people on LinkedIn, I was wondering if you could share the message format you used. LinkedIn’s 250-word limit can sometimes make it tricky, so a structured approach would be super helpful!
    And finally, congratulations on joining Meta! It’s truly a dream company for so many folks like me, and your journey is incredibly inspiring.
    Looking forward to your insights and wishing you all the best in your career ahead!

    Reading book called: Transform Yourself on Monk Mode, completely changed my life.. it taught me how to silence the constant noise in my mind and truly focus on what matters most. Through its actionable strategies, I’ve mastered habits that once seemed impossible to build, eliminated procrastination and created routines that are now unshakable..

    Although I'm in a different career altogether, can certainly take inspiration from your journey. Especially your persistence and patience during rejections and trying times is really commendable. Wishing you the very best for your future endeavors!
    Also, your personality exudes a perfect balance of confidence and humility (and definitely subtle quirkiness as well - seems like a tip of the iceberg though). Although I'm no one to opine, but feel free to pepper humorous references in your videos if you will 😄.

    Congratulations, Nikita! Great video. Just subscribed. Getting an offer from Meta is a massive feat! I am a job-seeker in the US in Finance who received several offers from firms like GS but ended up accepting one from a firm from the UK who ultimately rescinded the offer because of my international status. I am back to recruiting and hoping to land another offer soon, fingers-crossed. Hope to be in a similar place like yourself where I can speak about my experience with a bulge-bracket finance company. Cheers!

    Contrats on the offers!
    I find it difficult to understand that how can one prepare for SDE-2 positions in under 1-1.5 month while paralelly interviewing!
    i mean if I were to study LLD or HLD -> That would take 15 days individually
    Were you preparing before you scheduled your interviews or did you follow some strategy while interviewing so that you can brush up topics easily?

    That's it, this is what I wanted to know. I was hesitant on monk mode and doubting if I could be that consistent for so long. I tried doing it for a month and already cracked two product companies in Visa and Sapiens and have an interview tomorrow for a fortune 500 bank as well but I've never had the opportunity to interview for big tech except maybe for Visa.
    I'm going to follow what you've done, I guess this was my cue from the universe to just disappear for 6 months and work on myself.

    Its better if you tell about these things in detail :
    A) From where you have prepared your DSA topics and which topics you found are repetitive in different companies while giving interviews? And Same goes for System Design please.
    B) Second and most important thing is that there are lot of topics and its easy to forget a lot of them. So what strategy you have followed to revise topics and how many times you have revised to get handy on the topics.
