Linux Socials

Why Linux Socials ?

Aim is to open-source all interview data and make developers aware about the requirements and profiles that can actually be targeted. And pushing ourselves beyond interviews, to explore real technical depths. With not just a tiny purpose of clearing an interview, but with a goal to actually build tools that grow and contribute to engineering. Such things can only be done, if senior developers guide there upcoming gen. And thus, the best we do, is to bring developers together from Tier-1 Product based companies, gather interview requirements from recent interveiws and bring developers together to guide upcoming engineers with it, alongside hands-on practical learning...

50+ College Collaborations

Not just technical trainings, the belief is in building relations with college faculties, administration, students and even the guards... Deliver deep technical content, organise student talks, events, hackathons and more. With an end goal of making an impact on placements and providing students job support while they are in college and beyond. Something that we did at Lovely Professional University, and have been doing for many years now, with the love that we received.

IIT-Delhi, is not just an special campus, it's the one closest to heart for the kind of technical conversation we had. Discussing beyond coding and data structures... All the technologies that are expected to be implemented in coming years. And everything that is being done currently in industry after the great technical shift that we are witnessing. Discussing and explaining such things to students at college level, and them grasping it so well, gives the confidence that, if any student understands such stuff in early college days, can go great in their career.

BITS-Dubai truly leaves an impression. Literally a fan of the projects and how technically sound students are. Not every batch needs to know the technologies, or the code... Some just need to understand what kind of projects and tools are being built in industry. And once understood, the excitement to start working on such projects, is a look worth seeing. The only reason, some batches become love. And we wish to help them to their placements and beyond that...

Companies Cracked by our students

I am exteremly delighted that I will be joining JPMC as a Data Scientist. It was above my dreams, being from a tier-3 college to think of this. But thank you Rahul and Socials team for making us dream this, and being there throughout the journey in all ups and downs. The DSA material was just the thing I needed to crack this. And tech stack really helpd me, specially the Cloud and GenAI projects part to make it here as Data Scientist. Will try to always be there for upcoming batches, like aluminis and HRs were there for us.

It's a different feel completely when you sit in your first campus placement, and make it to that. I knew it that I will be cracking this one, thanks to Socials team and Rahul for the depths for Linux, networking, DevOps, Cloud and just the right set of coding. The way it was delivered in live sessions, I was not just clear about the interviews, but also about, what to expect once I'm working in the company. That level of clarity only comes, once someone makes you implement all these things practically with a proper use-case.

Pleased to share that I'm joining Razorpay as a DevOps engineer. And can never forget my interview experience here. Had real deja'vu coz of everything we discussed in class. Thank you Rahul for exploring real depths of each topic that we touched. I did the same explaination in interviews and they were extremely impressed. All the hands on learning and how all peers helped, is something I will never forget. I started from absolute basics, and seeing that in 6 months this much can be achieved, is no less than life changing for me.

It's the best day of my life, as I have joined Google as SDE. It wouldn't have been possible without you, Rahul. Such an amazing and insightful live sessions, everything in interviews felt like something we already discussed before. And can't thank enough to all the peers I met in this journey, you all are connections for life now. I was scared to target this big, but this was the best journey of my life till now.

Founder Story

At the end of the day, I'm nothing but a Developer, being lucky enough that young generation developers listen to me. And as a part of responsiblity of being a developer, and someone coming from a middle class family, I belive it's a responsiblity now to help and guide others whereever I can. We as India have a long journey ahead of us, in building right mindset for engineering, that thinks beyond 75% attendance, copy-pasting projects and teaching decades old theory stuff... to something that is not only relevant to current industry, but can also motivate our budding developers, to think, and practically build tools, technologies and solutions that take engineering one step ahead. And to form this mindset, LinuxSocials is just one step. If we succeed in doing it, GREAT. But if not, that GREAT TOO... Coz upcoming generations are build on failures and learnings of previos ones. So someone needs to do this... So as someone who worked at Start-ups, Google, Adobe, and got offers from Amazon, JPMC and other such tech-giants... There is only one thing to say... "DREAM BIG... AT TIMES, EVEN WE OURSELVES UNDERMINE OUR WORTH."
