WORKSHOP COMING UP! Google Summer of Code is a program where Google pays you to work and contribute under an open-source organization over the summer. (Apache, GNOME, Mozilla, etc.) See it like an open-source-focused internship. Learn more here in the link in bio: This year's participating organizations will be announced soon (Feb 21st). You can look into last year's participating organizations to see if you're interested in any particular one. Why? Because to get accepted by them you should start introducing yourself and make contributions.

Hey Everyone! I wanted to share a little glimpse into my recent experience with Google for the Summer Internship position. Though I got rejected in the technical interview it was the best experience of all times. It all started with applying for the Google Girls Hackathon, where I used my coding skills into the initial rounds. But my profile was not shortlisted. Later on, an internship recruiter reached out to me with news that my profile was saved at the time of girls hackathon and they find me suitable for the google summer internship 2024, leading to a 20-minute phone call where we talked about my tech stack and projects. The real adventure began when a 45-minute technical interview was scheduled on Google Meet, giving me 3 days to prepare. The interviewer directly started with a DSA problem from arrays. Grateful to say I solved it! She then asked me to optimize the approach and asked a follow-up question. I stumbled a bit, but with her guidance and hints, we worked through it together. 🤝 Although I received news that I didn't make it to the next round, this experience was undeniably one of the best interviews of my life. The learnings, the growth, and the insights gained were invaluable. At the end, she even shared tips to enhance my DSA skills. 💡 Moral of the story? Always give it a shot, even if you think you're not ready. Every attempt adds a layer of experience and knowledge. Keep pushing your boundaries and never shy away from the opportunities, because you never know where they might lead! #GoogleInternship #NeverGiveUp

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 2025 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 I recently got the chance to interview for the 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 2025 through an 𝐨𝐟𝐟-𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—no referral, just me putting myself out there and hoping for the best. 😊 The 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 involved solving a 𝐋𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦-𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦, which I was able to crack. That win gave me a boost of confidence heading into the 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝, where I tackled two LeetCode medium-level problem. I was able to solve them, but unfortunately, I wasn’t selected for the role. I won’t lie, it stung a bit, but this whole experience has been a huge learning opportunity. From the excitement of clearing the first round to the challenge of the second, I’ve grown in ways I didn’t expect. 🌱 Even though I didn’t make it all the way, I’m incredibly grateful for the chance to have gotten this far—and without a referral, it feels like a small victory on its own. Every setback is just another step forward, and I’m ready to keep pushing myself and embracing whatever comes next. Here’s to the journey ahead! 🚀 #Google #internship #offcampus #coding #growth #resilience #learning
