Being a part of the industry for over 3 years after my bachelor from IIT Kanpur in 2017, I come with the perks of having real-time inputs of a lot of things.
I have been a mentor/tutor at LinkedIn and Walmart Labs. I exactly know what the industry needs from candidates and thereby, can help them accordingly.
Also, I am personally keen on doing this for I have been in the same shoes, years back! Hence, I know exactly how it feels to be in that situation of not knowing what and how to do things.
I would like to be a "3 am a friend" to my students. I would try to be available at any possible time and help my them out in any vertical he asks for, to the best of my knowledge.
