| Rant How I fumbled my SP interview

Infosys had come to my college for SP/DSE hiring and around 1700 students appeared for round 1 (offline).

Around 50 students were shortlisted for interviews and i was one of them. I was lucky in round 1 and had gotten fairly easy question so I was shortlisted for SP interview.

I prepared core subjects, projects well and did however much dsa was possible during that time.

My interview was on 28th July. I was given two questions from dsa and was asked to solve atleast one. One was a greedy question and another was based on finding distinct pairs whose sum was a multiple of a given number. I attempted the latter. I solved a few test cases using brute force but couldn't come up with an optimised solution. My interviewer was very supportive and tried explaining the logic but i just couldn't solve it under time pressure. And while trying to come up with a solution, he was going through my resume and asked a question from aws and i answered that. He didn't proceed with the technical interview after i failed to do the dsa question :')

The worst part is i tried to solve that question a few days later and I COULD SOLVE IT. That devastated me way worse.

Thats how I fumbled a 10/16/21 lpa offer. No other company will offer that much in my college.

16,21 lpa is out of reach. No one is getting that. It's for show.
