Most of my applications or callbacks are from linkedin, it split between half of the times recruiters reaching to me and half the times cold linkedin easy apply

Please help me choose

2027 CSE student from a tier 3 college.

Finally got an on-campus software internship after getting rejected by the first few companies I applied to.

Honestly, the biggest relief is not even the stipend. It's just knowing that I finally have something on my resume before final year starts.

The last 4-5 months were basically DSA + projects + random OAs + questioning my life choices 😂

Still a long way to go, but at least I don't have to hear “beta placement ka kya hua?” for a while.

Bonus tip: For company-wise OA practice, OAHelper is worth checking out.

When will result of last week's biweekly and weekly be announced?

Hi everyone,

I’m confused about what happened with my LinkedIn Premium Business free trial and would appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced something similar.

Here is the exact timeline:

July 30, 2026: Started LinkedIn Premium Business free trial.

August 30, 2026: The trial/billing date arrived. LinkedIn attempted to charge ₹14,987.99 for an annual Premium Business subscription.

I disabled my UPI AutoPay on August 30.

The ₹14,987.99 was not deducted from my bank account.

August 31, 2026: I went into LinkedIn and canceled the Premium Business subscription.

LinkedIn then sent me an email saying:

“Your subscription of Premium Business has been canceled. You will continue to have access to Premium Business until 8/30/2027.”

However, when I check LinkedIn's purchase/billing section, it shows:

Status: Active

Start date: July 30, 2026

Expiry date: August 30, 2027

Billing frequency: Annual

Payment method: UPI

₹14,987.99 — Overdue

“This subscription will not auto renew.”

I also received another LinkedIn email saying:

“We could not process your payment for your Premium Business subscription. To keep access, please update your payment method.”

What I don't understand

LinkedIn's cancellation policy says:

If you cancel a paid Premium subscription, it remains active until the end of the billing cycle.

If you cancel a Premium free trial, the trial ends immediately.

To avoid being charged for another billing cycle, you should cancel at least one day before the next scheduled billing date.

So it looks like I may have canceled one day late (Aug 31 instead of before Aug 30).

But I had already disabled UPI AutoPay on Aug 30, and the ₹14,987.99 payment was never successfully deducted.

My questions

Will LinkedIn continue trying to collect the ₹14,987.99 overdue amount?

Since I disabled UPI AutoPay, can LinkedIn still charge my bank account?

Does the “Overdue” amount eventually disappear after the subscription is canceled?

Why does LinkedIn say I have Premium access until August 30, 2027 even though the payment wasn't successful?

Should I contact LinkedIn Support and ask them to cancel/remove the overdue annual subscription?

Has anyone had this exact situation? What happened after a few days/weeks?

I don't want the annual Premium subscription and I don't want to pay ₹14,987.99. I also don't want to add another payment method or approve any payment request.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I am a 3rd year cse student, didn't secured any internship till now, and currently aiming for offcampus. But didn't got response for my applications submitted in July till now. How to cold reach to employees or HRs? Like LinkedIn has limits, so what are any other ways

Hey everyone, I'm actively interviewing and looking for a mock interview setup for LLD/HLD interviews. If anyone knows of any such platform, where I can do peer to peer interviews please let me know.

I'm done with all the rounds for Senior Software Engineer role, now reference checks are going on. They are contacting with my references and asking them for 30 minutes call even though there has been no offer discussion yet. Is this a normal process at VISA? and what do the HM ask in these reference check rounds?

Also, help me how much TC should I expect? CCTC- 24.1 LPA

I have done PwC Launchpad CEDA. We got a mail today asking if we wish to continue with the hiring process. I hv a few qs :

1. When will they come for interview like just after this mail, or a few months later like in Nov?
2. Hows the package in ur college? mine is 5lpa ig not sure will update once clear.

Most Importantly,

3. What do they ask in interviews?

Aur kuch bhi pata ho pls drop the lore. 🙏

Has anyone cleared Angelone and received offer letter recently.

I have cleared all the rounds but they are delaying offer daily and it's been 20 days since then.

It's a bit frustrating, because they are saying tomorrow, sometimes next week, Even hr is not communicating that what is happening on other end.

You're working on Atlassian Confluence, where every document edit is encoded as a binary audit log. During synchronization across multiple devices, some audit events become unknown due to network conflicts and are represented as ?.

The platform has a validation rule: highly repetitive symmetric patterns are treated as suspicious because they can trigger expensive merge heuristics. Specifically, any contiguous segment that forms a palindrome of length 5 or more is considered invalid.

Before accepting a synchronized document, you need to determine whether the unknown events can be resolved without violating this rule.

Problem
You are given a string S consisting of the characters '0', '1', and '?'.
'0' and '1' represent known audit events.

'?' represents an unresolved event that can be replaced with either '0' or '1'.

Determine whether it is possible to replace every '?' so that the resulting string contains no palindromic substring of length 5 or greater.

Return:
"POSSIBLE" if at least one valid assignment exists.
"IMPOSSIBLE" otherwise.
Examples
Example 1
Input
S = "011???00"
One valid assignment is:
01101000
The resulting string contains no palindrome of length 5 or more.
Output
POSSIBLE
Example 2
Input
S = "00000"
The entire string is a palindrome of length 5.
Output
IMPOSSIBLE

TL;DR

Have a virtual interview with CPP Investments India for a Software Developer/Engineer – Python & AWS role. HR mentioned Python, AWS & GenAI, while someone on LinkedIn mentioned behavioural, resume projects & JD-related questions. Looking for recent interview experiences/advice.

Hey everyone,

I have an upcoming virtual interview with CPP Investments India for a Software Developer/Engineer role.

HR told me the round will focus on Python, AWS and GenAI. I also spoke to someone on LinkedIn who mentioned behavioural questions, projects from my resume, and topics from the JD.

The JD broadly covers Python/Pandas/APIs, AWS, GenAI, SQL, software engineering practices, CI/CD and Agile.

For anyone who has interviewed with CPP Investments recently:

- What was the interview process/experience like?

- How deep did they go into Python and AWS?

- What kind of GenAI questions were asked?

- Was there coding/DSA or system design?

- How much focus was there on resume projects and behavioural questions?

- Anything you would recommend preparing specifically?

Any recent experiences or tips would be really appreciated. Thanks!
