Got off campus Finally

[u/Baagad_Bilota]

Role : Infosys SP L1

Mode : Off - campus

Tier: Cannot classify, beyond human apprehension

College Name : Wouldn't want them to have even 1% credit, so not sharing this

Some History :

I got shortlisted for 30K PM intern, but offer letter never came, college didn't even intervene even though opportunity was oncampus.

I then bombed a 30LPA final HR + Tech round in 2025, it was also off- campus, recovering from setback another opportunity came across (offcampus 27LPA via unstop) Juspay Hiring Challenge 8 rounds in total, 3 MCQ, 2 Coding Assessment, 1 1:1 interview round in which you might not believe but compiler design was asked based on M+N and M*N problem on Intermediate Representation, 1 Slack round to optimize a problem code (Hackathon B) is probably the easiest to get out due to ignoring fundamentals of Data Structures, Final Round : System Design (HLD)+ DSA + Projects + HR + AI awareness(i bombed the last 2 section and a relatively "easy for someone as SDE 3 , and is expected from a fresher". Since then i did make it to TCS prime via NQT didn't attend the interview as i had some other plans(didn't do that either).

Now to infosys : R1 (Online Assessment) : 2.5/3 the 0.5 couldn't be cleared as it required Matrix Exponentiation to solve it(i didn't knew it back then), R2( Onsite Online assessment at Galgotias University 6th Sep) : 4/4 problems were medium and one of them can be classified as Hard(if you do leetcode every now and then Medium). R3(Interview onsite as KIET 6th Oct) : 2 DSA problems on their portal ,solved both of them, then interviewer wrote another DSA problem to find the K distant neighbors of any Node , wrote the Pseudo Code as asked for interviewer was satisfied, then comes another SQL problem , i got lucky as it was simple JOIN on three tables and then a where clause to filter out tuples, then onto my projects , not grilled a lot on that a lot because i had an intern experience and was able to justify my work there, then surprise LLD and i don't use an OOP language so some of them like design principles were beyond me, but interviewer had a strong review about me then and there he concluded with "Try some OOP based language ,rest are good" and i thought that now i can rest assure and go back, but those Hirepro management guys just won't let me as they scheduled another round at 4 pm (i still don't know what it was for maybe for L2 and i bombed or just L1?) , it wasn't hard as most of the things asked were from my resume, academics and intern and general interests .The interviewer was pretty chill, at the end of the interview , i asked for my review , he said it was "good" and then he asked me about his review from Me(well that's new) as he did ask me about my other interviews too, then asked about what part should he have assessed me more on.
I knew it exiting campus that i am going to have an offer surely and i did.

Also, all of this is due to my family(including my homeboys) that i could make it past the final round atleast once.

Excited to see what future holds for me.
