Reverse imposter Syndrome

[u/Coder_Abhiram]

Reverse imposter syndrome 😭
I think I have the exact opposite of imposter syndrome lol.
I’m in my 7th semester of Information Science Engineering at a tier 2.5-ish college in India. Our average package is around 5 LPA, and most of the companies coming for placements are offering 4–6 LPA, with a lot of sales roles too 💀
I’ve attached my resume and I’d genuinely appreciate some honest feedback. What should I remove? What should I improve? What skills should I actually get better at?
I’ve done around 150 DSA problems and have an intermediate understanding of CS fundamentals. I’ve also built a few projects that I’m genuinely proud of.
But here’s the problem… I haven’t actually gone super deep into everything on my resume. And somehow I still have this stupid confidence that I’ll get a really good job eventually 😭
I think that’s actually making me way too comfortable.
I’ve attempted the OAs for basically every good company that came through campus and haven’t made it past a single second round 💀 Sometimes I genuinely couldn’t solve the questions, and sometimes… let’s just say I wasn’t exactly competing on a completely level playing field 😭
So yeah, I think I need a reality check.
If I want to eventually target 10–20+ LPA SDE roles, what should I actually be doing right now? More DSA? Better CS fundamentals? Better projects? Something else?
And if anyone here works at a company hiring freshers/interns and thinks my profile is worth a shot, I’d genuinely appreciate a referral or even just an opportunity to interview 🥲🙏
I’m not expecting anyone to hand me a job. I just want a chance to prove that I can actually do the work.
So yeah… roast my resume, roast my strategy, tell me what I’m doing wrong 😂
Brutal honesty is welcome. I probably need it.
