I had been doing summer internship in Bangalore for two months in Aurigo and due to my and subbu's remarkable performance there , we had been awarded with a PPO in Aurigo.Thus,there was less pressure on us to get jobs in the college.But i knew that i didn't want to get into this company.The work there was amazing but it was just a start-up and i didn't want to start my career with a start-up , especially when i had much better options back in the college.Thus i knew that i have to secure a job in college before Aurigo arrives at the campus.Thus , there was a lot of pressure on me coz neither was i well prepared for the companies that were about to storm the campus , neither did i have much time before Aurigo turned up to the campus.I had to make the most of the limited opportunites that would have come my way before 24th Aug,when Aurigo was scheduled to come and at the same time i had to prepare a hell lot..I was in a panic mode!!
**Google arrives**
The first company to come to our campus was Google.I was supposed to attend a telephonic interview and luckily that was being taken by our college senior,Sundarajan.My interview went decently,though i could have performed better.I was surprised when i wasn't selected for the second round.Kela No. 1!!I was not that dejected coz i knew that i wasn't a Google kinda guy!!
**Microsoft ka kela**
The next company was Microsoft.They had an initial written round where they had asked three DS questions.I cracked all three and was quite hopeful of being called for interview.When i was entering the mess then i suddenly realized that i had made one blunder in the first question.I froze there,my heart stopped beating,my hunger died,my eyes swelled with tears..I ran to my room and cried for sometime beneath my pillow..My friends didn't help my situation by teasing me with the tag of "Microsoft guy" constantly..I was acting madly..I still remember how i was lying
along the metallic rods outside my room as if i'm dead and had no reason , no motivation to live any more..I remember satya coming to me and consoling me..I calmed down myself and somehow motivated myself to prepare for the next company..Then at 4 all of a sudden i got a call from Vivek that my interview was supposed to start in another 10 minutes..Boy i was shocked..I was not expecting the call and thus had made no arrangements..I hurriedly collected stuff from friends and rushed to T&P..As i look back now,i think the thing that saved me was that i used to always write logic first and then code as suggested by my seniors..And boy that did prove very crucial..Once in T&P,we were seated for another round of test..Three questions were given to us and i quickly did the first two but didn't do the third one that well..Anyways out of the 24 guys , 10 guys were eliminated and i was lucky to be still there in the final 14..As luck would have had it,my interview was the first and it was supposed to be taken by a lady..Boy she was mid-age and beautiful:)..Anyways my interview started with she analyzing my written papers..She immediately asked me to point out the error in my first DS solution..I immediately told her my mistake and the she popped the question, how would you improve this solution?? I kept on beating around the bush and she grew tired of giving me so many chances for that question..In the end she said that you are pretty close to the solution.."give me the exact word im looking for"..and boy i still couldn't figure it out..Then she asked some other questions which i didn't answer satisfactorily..The irony of this whole experience is that all the while when she was screwing me all ends up , i wanted to think of the solution but quite surprisingly all i could think at that time was how beautiful was she and how beautiful her eyes were!!..Boy i still can't believe my mind was doing such dirty stuff amidst the most important interview of my life!!Finally my interview ended and immediately the HR called me to inform me that i have been eliminated!!Boy i was hurt but i knew i had only me to blame..
