Hey. Great content btw. Would you maybe consider doing a video on personal projects? I’m going to start applying for Summer 25 soon and I’ve really only done machine learning stuff on python. I’m hoping to move on to big data and deep learning soon but I want to at least have a few projects on my resume. I have a few ideas but I keep second guessing them because everyone on the internet has a different perspective on what needs to be done lol. So it would be really helpful if you could make a video about the actual skills expected right now in the industry. Like what’s a impressive project vs a basic project. And I guess other related stuff. But no pressure lol.
Hey bud, I think this video might be helpful. Generally, projects that you’re passionate about will stand out more than just basic projects you can find on the internet. I would start with stuff on Kaggle so you can get the help you need to build some foundational skills then move onto projects that you have a personal interest towards like sports or specific niches.
Hi Ranesh. I am super thankful for this video since it answered the question I asked previously😊. I am currently looking for a volunteering internship for a small company, and struggling with the job searching process, because most of the jobs I found on linkedin, indeed etc. are formal paid roles although I included the keyword “internship”. Do you recommend finding random companies on Googles map and email them my job request, even when those companies do not have any job posting on the internet?
Hey, thats a great question. I plan on making a video on that soon, it looks like a lot of people are interested in it. The reason why those opportunities are harder to find on those platforms are because they might not have the budget to make a job posting on platforms like LinkedIn or Glassdoor. Generally, I recommend reaching out to people you know (professors, family friends, local businesses) and offer to work for them, unpaid, for a period of time (a few weeks, a month, a year). My first opportunity came from asking a professor I liked and it was a part time opportunity that lasted a few months. I learned so much from that job and was even asked to return for a paid offer later. An alternative for those of you who are interested is to start following non-profit orgs (local ones if possible) on social media and reaching out there via email or through dms. Usually, these orgs don't have enough staff to get by let alone to recruit dozens of candidates so they don't really put up job postings. If you reach out via email and offer your services for free in a specific niche like SWE or Data Science/Analytics, they are more than likely to accept it. Maybe you can do some SEO analytics or improve their website or maybe you could even help with a database migration and get that experience. I hope this answer was comprehensive enough to help you!
Im currently in my 1st yr pursuing a bachelor of science degree in mathematics from tier 1 college in India..i want to apply for internships in faang companies for data analyst or sde roles .. am i eligible for the same?if yes, then in which internships can i apply?also am i eligible for Google step internship?
Im not sure I’m qualified to answer your question 😂. If FAANG has specific requirements for their internship, it should be on the job description. I would check there
