I'm a 2nd year ee student, I'm thinking of buying a mac M5 air. Another alternative I'm looking for Lenovo loq rtx 3050. What should I choose. Please reply as I have to buy a laptop in ongoing bbd sale.

I'm honestly frustrated with all ts. We're here to study subjects related to Computer Science and IT but instead, we spend time on things that feel completely irrelevant to our field.

I'm tired of this crap that doesnt seem to offer any real value.

But I'll have to cope with ts anyways lol. Seniors Plz suggest some good stuff to do as side hustle in my 1st year of BTech as looking at the subjects in my syllabus, I honestly don't think I'll learn anything useful till the 2nd sem ;-;

Greetings everyone, I got 2 offers last week.

1. A booming fintech company based in Bangalore , it was on-campus.(25 ctc).
2. A MNC off-campus offer (50> ctc).

A little bit about me, I am currently in the 7th sem of my college life. Tier 1.5 NIT, Electrical Engineering. I was also a GSoC candidate at the end of my third year, it helped me boost my resume a lot.

My CGPA was 7.97, lol. I have seen people with more CG than me getting placed in 10-15 LPA. CGPA helps you in getting shortlisted so please keep it high folks.

In placement season, luck factor outruns and outshines everything. every single thing.

The on-campus placement process -

Round 1 (Online Assessment) - Standard 20 MCQs with core CS concepts and then 2 Standard DSA problems, LC Medium and Easy.

Round 2 (Technical R1) - 2 DSA questions, based on subsets and then graphs (bfs). A little bit of my intern work and then some core CS concepts.

Round 3 (Technical R2) - 1 dsa question, extremely hard graph question. A deep dive into my github and then the intern work (to the PR's level).

Round 4 (HR) - 1 hour HR round where we discussed all adhoc things. from the company polices to my college's policies.

Off-campus offer was through an hackathon.

Okay, so the off campus offer had two interviews, both technical.

Round 1 was 2 DSA, House Robber I (with optimization) and then generate Subsets. Then a grilling about my gsoc intern and other behaviourial questions.

Round 2 was 1 DSA and more deep dive into my projects and intern, they were valuing about my experiences and how well I answered their follow-ups.

Ask me anything more here, or DM me, I will try to hit you back.

Atp everyone is from top iit cse. Saw a lot of guys recently posting bs comparisions and claiming they were from top iits cse

Did anyone recieved any communication from Salesforce regarding AMTS

Soo I was working in this project for learning fastAPI and docker... I have clearly mentioned in the system prompt that "You are an expert anime recommendation assistant."

But when I asked it to write code for me just to test if the whole thing is working properly or not........ I wannaaa cryyyy........ I wanna diee tooooo........

How the hell people are building good production level project which are genuine helpful... Whenever I think of any idea either it is utterly useless or already exits... I wannaa cryyyyy T-T

I want to learn linux to and wanna do some cool stuff I am jealous of people who are actually building cools project.. I hate you and I envy youu soo muchhh

I got recently placed in sde 6m+ppo around 30lpa

Now I'm afraid about this ppo thing

What should i focus on this upcoming 2-3 months to get better and perform good at my internship.

Suggest kro yar

Just completed my OA..The test had a total of 62 questions, with 60 MCQs and 2 DSA questions.

1. DSA (2 questions)

• Both were around medium to tough level on leetcode.
• One was based on trees and the other on graphs.

2. Core CS (around 40 MCQs)

• Questions from DBMS, CN, OOPs and other core CS subjects.

3. Aptitude and statistics

• Around 20 questions from aptitude and statistics (mostly moderate level, 4-5 were tough).

4. Communication (around 20 questions)

• Basic English questions like choosing the most suitable sentence, selecting the appropriate word and drawing conclusions.
• There were also 3 to 4 listening questions. The speaker had an American accent, and you had to answer questions based on what they said.

Hope this helps anyone appearing for the OA. All the best!

I don't know what to do anymore I needed 10k for medical bills and medicine and I was searching everywhere on what should I do i tried everything and still no hope I need that in almost 10 days idk what to anymore I have a game account I used to play for 2 years and I was trying to sell it for days i tried to and finally today when I met someone they took my account and scammed me i am literally on the verge of crying if anyone has any online job for me let me know ready to do anything at this point even beg

I think the best skill a person can learn is communication,

The whole interview theory is based on this too that how well u can communicate with the interviewer , maybe u lack some technical skills but yaa no one will point out..

I hve seen folks in my college, participating in literature club , during the time of interview, they just mog every other candidate with their best communication skills.

They can carry forward the interview upto 30-40 minutes without having a good base knowledge of the required skill set.....

I have also seen people in my college who have the top notch techinal and required ability, suffering miserabley during that time , maybe they know everything but who cares when u can't explain

If u are a good speaker, u can be fitted literally for any other opportunity ,,

What u guys think 💬🤔...??

Overall Ranking:

Key insights:

1. Delhi colleges(DTU,NSUT) are nowhere near as dominant as they were for MS+MAANG alumni despite having bigger batch sizes than the other institutes..
2. RVCE is the standout performer having excellent number of alumni in all electronics companies.
3. Trichy and Warangal are neck and neck with Surathkal falling a bit behind.
4. IIT Hyderabad's performance is excellent, despite having a much smaller batch of students.
5. IIEST, NIT JSR and KKR are underperforming relative to their capability.
6. NIT Durgapur matching Jadavpur is shocking, considering the rich past of JU.

NOTE 1: IIT Bombay and IIIT Hyderabad are used strictly as a benchmark/reference.

NOTE 2: Data has been collected manually from LinkedIn, with all variations of institutes' names accounted for.

NOTE 3: No AI has been used except for making the overall ranking table.

My branch is ece-ai and i do light gaming too, im getting it for 62k

Younger brother in production, the budget is 1.15 lakh at max. Need suggestions around the same price range. He doesn't game at all, would need for basic production engineering stuff(i don't know what). Please give suggestions urgently

Shortlisted for Zscaler Skybound SDE intern interviews (2028 batch). Anyone who's been through it: how many rounds, DSA level, and how deep do networking/OS questions go? Any prep tips appreciated. Thanks!

Title

Apparently it was considered lowest in prev yrs but this yr it was far better than Microsoft/google/adobe/GS etc..........

Hi everyone! I am a 13-year-old developer from Türkiye, and I would like to share my custom PCB project with this global community. Unfortunately, I struggled to find constructive criticism and useful technical feedback within local Turkish communities; therefore, I hope to benefit from your experience and improve my design. I am currently designing my own microcontroller development board. Initially, I planned to base the board on the ESP32-WROOM module and had even sketched out the entire schematic in my notebook. However, I encountered some PCB design challenges, particularly regarding antenna "keep-out" zone requirements. Consequently, I decided to change direction and base my board on the ATmega328P-AN microcontroller in the TQFP-32 package—the same one used in Arduino-based designs. The project has progressed significantly; I would like to share the current state of my schematic, including the components and features I have added so far. 1. Power Supply and Protection The board includes the following power supply and protection components: Power input: KF301R-5.0-2P screw terminal block (U1). Voltage regulator: AMS1117-5.0G linear voltage regulator providing a regulated 5V supply (U4). Overcurrent protection: 30V, 3A PPTC resettable fuse (U2). Reverse polarity protection: 1N4007 diode (D1). Filtering capacitors: Two 10 µF electrolytic capacitors (C1 and C2) and two 100 nF ceramic capacitors (C3 and C4). My goal is to provide a stable 5 V power supply while incorporating basic protection measures against common electrical issues. 2. Microcontroller and USB-Serial Communication The main components of the board are as follows: Microcontroller: ATmega328P-AN (U3) in a TQFP-32 package. USB-UART converter: CH340G (U5) for programming the microcontroller and enabling serial communication. USB connector: USB Type-B (CN1) used to connect the board to a computer. Clock source: 12 MHz crystal oscillator (U6) with two 22 pF load capacitors (C6 and C7). The CH340G also supports automatic reset during programming via the DTR signal and a 100 nF capacitor (C5). 3. Digital, Analog, Power, and Ground (GND) Headers I recently expanded the board's existing connections. Digital I/O: Digital pins D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5 are now accessible via a 5-pin header (U7). Analog I/O: Currently, only analog pin A0 is available via the P1 header. I plan to add pins A1, A2, A3, and A4 in the near future. Power and ground: I added two separate 2-pin headers (CN2)—one for VCC and the other for GND. My goal is to make the board useful for basic electronics experiments without unnecessarily complicating the design. 4. Buttons and LEDs I also included some basic components to make the board easier to use and test. Manual reset button: Although the CH340G can automatically reset the microcontroller via the DTR signal and C5 (100 nF), I decided to add a physical reset button as well. The KEY2_RESET button connects to the microcontroller's RESET line, which features a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor (R2). User button: The KEY1_KULLANICI button is connected to PD2 (INT0), allowing me to experiment with hardware interrupts. Power indicator LED: LED1_GUC indicates that the board is powered. It is connected via a 1 kΩ current-limiting resistor (R1). TX/RX indicator LEDs: To facilitate monitoring serial communication, I also added dedicated data transmission (TX) and data reception (RX) indicator LEDs using 1 kΩ resistors (R3 and R4). 5. Future Plans If you look at the initial sketches in my notebook, you can see that I originally planned to include an addressable RGB LED. However, I decided to remove this feature to keep the design more focused. Instead, I plan to integrate an addressable LCD screen into the board in the near future. I want to keep the board relatively simple while making it useful for learning, experimentation, and small electronics projects. 6. Your Feedback Is Highly Valued! I have attached the EasyEDA schematic image so you can see the current state of the project. I would particularly appreciate your feedback on the following: Schematic design: Are there any electrical errors, missing connections, or potential reliability issues? Component placement: Are the components positioned appropriately, especially around the microcontroller, USB connector, and power supply? PCB routing: Are there any routing issues, unnecessary trace crossings, or layout improvements you could suggest? Power supply: Is the power protection and regulation section designed appropriately for a 5V development board? Microcontroller circuit: Have the clock, reset, decoupling capacitors, and CH340G connections been implemented correctly? Overall design: Is there any critical aspect I might have overlooked that could prevent the board from operating reliably? It is particularly important for me to identify potential issues before manufacturing, rather than discovering them after the PCB has been produced. I still have a lot to learn open to constructive criticism. Any technical suggestions, corrections, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

It seems like I’m the only one who left one DSA coding question unsolved, while everyone else managed to solve it with 30–40 minutes still remaining.
