3.5LPA to 50+ LPA 🔥 | Service based to Product based company ! 😎 | Tier 3 college - YouTube

Don't think that after getting Tier 3 College your life is wasted

I started my journey from Infosys with just 50,000 rs salary in Hyderabad

I got a severe back problem and I could not sit

I applied to Sales Force job multiple times but always got rejected

My parents always said that get a government job and everything will be sorted

Then even if you are at a clerk's position , doesn't matter

My father was totally surprised

Many people will get to know this after watching this video

Hey Guys! I am Nishant Chahar , a software engineer from Microsoft

Today with us we have Mr.Naman Kaushik and is currently a SMTS

SMTS stands for senior member of technical staff

Earlier he was working with Infosys then Deloitte now at Sales Force

In today's video we'll discuss about various topics like Service based company and product based company

Apart from that , how did he prepare for this , how did he manage time, etc.

And what is his current job role

Before starting the video I will quickly give a short introduction about him

So , Naman can you briefly introduce yourself ?

Firstly thanks for having me here . I have seen your videos. They are quite inspiring

I did my B.Tech in Computer Science from HRITM which was a proper Tier-3 College

Over there we had Service Company Giants in the placement pool

I was campus placed at Infosys and I was trained at Mysore for around 4.5 Months and got job location in Pune

I worked there for 1.5 years and then moved to Deloitte , Hyderabad and worked there for almost 2.5 years

And then I moved to Sales Force and I have been here now for more than 2 Years

So you have worked in both a A Service Based Company as well as a Product Based Company

So what's the major difference in working, culture, job, etc?

So when I started at Infosys I was a complete fresher and since it was a Service Giant , we did not get any great tasks

Work culture was completely different . Job was completely different.

I was working with a Insurance Client so it was majorly a support task

And we had to sit in ODCs where we are not allowed to carry phones and just sit with the machines they provide

Then I realised that Deloitte has better service culture and I had some independence .

But our work was majorly for clients

So that depends on client to client

If we compare product company to a service company , the biggest difference is that employees have their independence

Whereas in Service based , we have to follow procedures and there are long e-mail chains and deadlines are again client specific

which I think is okay according to their business model

In product based , we are controllers of the service we are providing.

I f I am working for a user story

So here for example I can take 3 hours or 3 days which is fine . So inshort we are the in-charge there.

Here your opinion matters to the team , stakeholders and also there is huge difference in culture

Also we have freedom to chose working hours. Infosys was great ,

Deloitte was super-great and now Sales Force is at another level

Before we resume I would like to tell to the coding enthusiasts that there is 20% off link in the description box.

Do check it out

Coding Ninja has various courses like Android Development , Web Development , Machine Learning, C++, Java, Python

The mentors are from Stanford , IIT, who have worked in MNCs like Facebook, Amazon,

The overall course curriculum is great . Even I did a course and my experience was amazing

There are also hint videos to solve doubts and also there is facility of one on one mentoring to resolve doubts.

So my next question is how did you prepare because you had a full-time job so how did you manage time

That's a great question because many service-based employees don't know how to manage time

Or does IT give you high salaries . In fact 3 years back it was a massive thing for myself.

Many of my friends used to refer someone or the other who were working in Giants

and earning great numbers and at that time it was unreal for me

I was applying at Amazon , Microsoft . But I never got any calls or replies

In 2019, around 20th Feb, when I was in Hyderabad . Over there I was discussing something wit my friend Neel

And I just said that I want a 12 L package.

Neel had many friends working in Amazon so he used to tell me their stories.

But on that day he took me seriously and so he told me how to reach that level, prepare, and few other things.

So we decided to stay in the office after hours and we will study.

I had studied data structures in Infosys but I did not know all small bits of it.

Or like where to use which structure or how to implement. I was good in doing logics.

We realised that we cannot study with this speed. Also my parents were persuading me for marriage.

And I knew that you cannot sustain in city like Hyderabad with just 50,000 Rs Salary

So it was a truth for me

So I had to do something and again some personnel motivation was there

They used to teach Data Structures and designs

So we joined weekend course there

That lets study Data Structure

And at that time I was injured

Means I got a severe back spasm and I could not sit

Like for seven, eight months I could not sit

I used to stand in the office whole day

My hamstrings were so tight that I could not run properly

And after coming to flat, I used to use that rod bed

Or even ice pack just to calm my pain

Stuff like that

But weekends were like, I had to go class. I used to go to class after having painkillers

And then there we used to study Data structures and all and then after coming home, assignments and all

So we started doing assignments after staying back in office

And I used to stand all the time because I was unable to sit

It was so painful at that time

Second way of earning money was leaving the country

So side ways maybe many people didn't know about it . Maybe they will get to know after this video

That Stack overflow is such a brilliant platform if you want to get a job abroad. Specially Europe

So I applied in many European companies there

So I gave interview of around twenty companies from Stack overflow itself

I got rejected from each one of them

Each one of them

But the thing was I was not afraid of rejection

I was like I will get to learn

And then I will be successful one day

And then It was happening. I cracked a German company

That's German Government firm

So they offered me around sixty thousand Euros at that time

And with a three year work on

Then I just cracked that

Just after that I cleared the rounds of an European EBI firm European Bioinformatics Institute that is based in Cambridge. So they called me to Cambridge for discussion

Sidewise the Sales Force process had started

I applied for Sales Forces for a tones of time but every time it got rejected

But this time one of my friend

I saw his Linkedin post that Sales force is hiring

So I pinned him on linkedin

That buddy just refer me

Maybe referral works

Lets try this time

And then it worked

They called me for an interview. They sent a hackerrank test link

That was some Java problem

It was kind of a small project that I had to complete on Hackerrank

So ya that got succeed

And that too had its ups and downs

Because that had several unit text cases failing for me

And I was like that my logic is absolutely correct

I am seeing everything in my local machine

But why the hell unit test cases are failing

So I wrote that in Hackerrank feedback as well

That my logic was absolutely correct. I can bet on that

But your unit test cases are failing due to certain things

But then

Sales Force has a very good policy and I think other companies might have it too

That only the tool is no the judge

There are people, there are software engineers that look the code and then judge

Whether there was some technical issue

Or the logic is correct of the candidate or not

So they found that my logic was correct

And the unit test cases were failing because of space errors

In the output window

So after almost twenty days

I had lost hope that I will get call

But then they called me

I guess September ending

That we liked your submission and we want to take the discussion further

And on the day of onsite interview

I had this German offer , I had already talks going on with this EBI firm from Cambridge

But still I was like that people will say that everyone can do after going abroad

Why not in India?

It was like that

At home parents also thinks that just take a government job. That is the biggest thing

Even become a clerk. That is a big thing

I got to listen that a lot

So I was like that I have come so far

And at that same time my hackerrank round of Amazon was also cleared

So that process was going to start

I was like that I had to crack one of these

On the Friday night of salesforce onsite interview I remember

We were partying till four AM

Like friends were there and they were all celebrating

That you will go to Germany after two months

And I also had applied for Visa for Germany

I had the Visa

It was clear that now I had to go to Germany

And we were partying till four

But when everyone left, I went to my room

And I was like tomorrow is interview. I should study at least something. Who knows what can come

I was studying some question about Graphs and complexities and all

Till six thirty AM I just gave them a glimpse

And then I had a sleep for almost one hour

And then I just went for the interview

Again I went to give interview after having painkiller

And luckily

Like there were two rounds of Data structure that day

And in second round they asked me the Graph theory and the concept was same that I read after four AM

That same day

I was like that man timing matters

I mean luck matters in interviews

Because Graph was my weakest point back then

But I had just read those things in the same morning so they were quite fresh in my mind

So I was quiet confident that I had done well

And ya after waiting for a week or so I was walking after lunch in my office itself

And then I got a call from HR of Sales Force that we liked your rounds and all

So we want to give you an offer . Do you have number in mind?

And I was literally that okay!

I had an offer from Sales Force

And they told that do you have any expectations in mind?

And I didn't have any at that time

I was overwhelmed that I got an offer from Sales Force

So I told the HR that give me some time I will call back

And then I looked at glass door

On glass door numbers were like around twenty six they provide to three years experience , four years experience. That were the numbers at that time

I asked Niel. He also told the same number that eighteen -nineteen they will give

But still I was not believing this

Because My pay was six and a half at that time

So I thought three hundred percent hike was a massive one

They would not give me that

But instead they offered me

They were just playing around with me

Just negotiating for fifteen as well

When I looked at the proposal mail

I was literally in tears that I was like that man I didn't expect this

I called my father that where are you?

I said wherever are you hold a wall

They asked me that what happened?

I said I got selected in a company

He didn't know the company name that they have offered like this

My father was like this much

I said yes

So that was a overwhelming moment for me

I showed it to my friends , flat mates and they were like had you ever thought that you will se this big number in your life?

I said no. I used to think that from today I would reach on twenty lakhs after five years

That was my aim

But in that one year so much happened. So that was literally amazing for me

Great!

The whole story and the whole journey is very inspiring and amazing

So Naman I just want to ask one last question to you

Any suggestions for the people who are working in service based companies or are in tier three colleges

Like any one or two tips or suggestions for them

So Guys and girls Do not think that you are useless if you are in tier three colleges

Do not think nothing gonna happen If you go to Infosys

I am telling you that TCS , Infosys are doing a great job

They are doing a great job that they are providing employment to tier three college students. They are providing us the base

That from where are entering in software world

Otherwise the population of India

The competition is increasing everyday

Now everyone takes IT

Most of the people are in IT or CS and even electronics people are coming to IT and Cs companies

So do not give up. Just pick your battles that keep struggling

Something will happen and do not afraid of rejections

That If I give interview in this company and fail, it will be my insult

So what happened? You will come out with some learning

You will come out with some learning and manage the time

Work from home has given so much time to people. So much platforms has come

There are so many youtubers now who guides people

That how to take certain concepts of data structures , How to study design

So it has become so easy

And the industry is in a bubble right now

That it is paying handsomely to those who are talented

So do not give up. Manage your time that is the most important thing

And do not listen to friends that only you will give ten lakhs, only you will get twenty lakhs

When you will do it, then the same friends will say that you are an inspiration to us

Hone your skills , work hard and believe in yourself

Believe in yourself and keep going

Something good will definitely happen

So thank you so much

So thank you so much Naman for taking out time. It was nice talking to you

Nishant thank you so much for having me here

I have watched your videos

I have seen that how many children watch those videos

Everybody needs inspiration and you are doing a great job buddy
