**Introduction:** In June, Nuclei visited our college with an enticing opportunity for full stack developer roles at an impressive CTC of 9 LPA.The initial step involved filling out a comprehensive form, where honesty was key. It covered various aspects, such as project details, the brightest minds I knew, and my most remarkable project. After carefully screening the applicants, Nuclei shortlisted around 60 candidates from an initial pool of 200 students. This marked the beginning of a thrilling interview process that tested our skills and abilities.

**Technical Aptitude Test:**

The next phase of the interview process comprised a technical aptitude test. It consisted of 22 questions, encompassing core subjects, aptitude, and coding templates. Two coding problems, one related to binary search and the other focused on graphs, added a challenging dimension to the test. Impressively, approximately 40 students performed exceptionally well, leading to the next round.

**Coding Round:**

The subsequent coding round further evaluated our coding proficiency. We were given four questions to solve: binary search, lowest common ancestor (LCA) in a tree, graph-related problem, and recursion. The questions were designed to gauge our problem-solving abilities and algorithmic thinking. After this round, 15 students were selected to proceed to the first technical interview round.

**Technical Interview Round 1:**

In the first technical interview round, I had the opportunity to interact with an experienced interviewer. The session commenced with a brief introduction from both sides, followed by a detailed discussion about my projects. The interviewer delved into my project's intricacies and challenged me to write code for various problems. We explored topics such as finding the maximum subarray sum, handling circular arrays, merging sorted arrays without extra space, and detecting cycles in linked lists. Furthermore, I was tested on pattern matching in strings and probed about networking concepts like handshaking in Computer Networks. The discussion also ventured into Operating Systems and additional questions on OS and CN. After this round, six students progressed to the next phase.

**Technical Interview Round 2:**

The second technical interview round commenced with another round of introductions and a thorough examination of my projects. The interviewer delved deeper into core subjects, beginning with Computer Networks. Topics covered included Network Address Translation (NAT), data travel in the transport layer, how computers locate domains, and determining the status of network devices. Additionally, we discussed memory management in Operating Systems and delved into Database Management Systems (DBMS). The interviewer inquired about the differences between NoSQL and SQL databases and asked me to design a schema for a given scenario involving student information and marksheets. The round concluded with an intriguing puzzle that challenged my problem-solving abilities. The puzzle involved three mislabeled cold drink dispensers, and I had to determine the correct labels with minimum steps. Ultimately, only three candidates, including myself, advanced to the final round.

**Cultural Round:**

The cultural round provided a refreshing change of pace. The interviewer aimed to understand me on a personal level. Questions revolved around my background, life experiences, and responses to various hypothetical scenarios. The interviewers were friendly and offered valuable feedback and guidance throughout the process, making the experience enjoyable and constructive.

**Conclusion:**

My interview experience at Nuclei was truly memorable and enlightening. The challenging technical rounds pushed me to explore and apply my knowledge in diverse areas. The interviewers' approachability and willingness to provide hints and feedback greatly contributed to my growth and learning.

NEXTJS: The React Framework for Production

### 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' - By Robert T. Kyoski

For a person who wants to learn how and what of investing, this book is a perfect start. With years of experience and knowledge about money and market, the author throughout the book has tried to stress on few main lessons which I would like to summarize below--

\> Learn to have money work for you instead of following the orthodox advise of working hard for money.

\> Financial education is just as important as the academic/school education and thus should be an indispensable part of student's overall development.

\> Don't invest to not loose money, instead learn to invest to win. Loosing is an important part of winning, one that no one should be afraid of.

\> Learn to distinguish between assets and liabilities and build your assets column.

\> A person gets rich not by earning high ordinary income, but by earning portfolio income( derived from stocks and bonds) and passive income( derived from real estate investment). So, to get rich, one must know how to covert ordinary income into passive and portfolio income.

\> Always learn and never think twice before spending money on education and learning new skills. This investment is always beneficial in short as well as long run.

\> Lastly, never say that you cannot afford something to yourself as that refrains our brain from thinking further. Instead ask yourself this," How can I afford it? ".

The book is full of examples from author's life that supports his advices. By including the viewpoints of his rich dad (his best friend's father) and his poor dad (his father), the author has tried to point out some faults in stereotypical thought process of the society regarding finances and why they need some changes.

To anyone who is willing to explore the field of finance, this book is highly recommended.


Synopsis of "Rich Dad Poor Dad"

Hey Guys!! In this Blog , I am going to share a roadmap which according to me can lead you towards being an awesome coder!! This is a roadmap I wish somebody has shared with me in my first year of college.I am going to divide the roadmap in four parts on basis of years...

## The First Year

In the starting , One should focus on making friends first as those few individuals can change the future of yours. So choose them wisely , find someone with the same goals as yours and get open up. You might hesitate to talk to others but that\`s ok everyone is hesitating and are finding ways to make friends so just go on and talk ( with a strategy ofc ) .

After that one should focus on learning a programming language preferably C++ as it is a language which is most close to the hardware. Learn the basics from anywhere you like and start solving questions on hackerrank. It will clear your basics and will motivate you to code more ( till you get 5 star there ofc ). With that learn more advance concepts and Then Standard template libraries as they are gonna help a lot in our next step that is competitive coding. So now just go to codechef and go on problems section and sort the problems on basis of difficulty and start solving them. When you have solved enough problems to get friendly with codechef , start giving contests on codechef, start with Long challenge. With that you can start a course on competitive programming . My suggesting is [Luv\`s](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLauivoElc3ggagradg8MfOZreCMmXMmJ-) competitive programming course on youtube. It will definately help you to improve your skills.

Now when you have 3 star at codechef , you can start your journey at codeforces where the questions difficulty level is much high and the plagrism is very low. So repeat the steps here also, go there, sort problems, solve them until you get friendly and then start giving contests.

Now the most important thing while giving contests is you should upsolve problems. upsolving means solving the problems after the end of contest and learning the concepts used so that you can perform better in future. If you don\`t do upsolving, there is no sense of giving contests.

Solve atleast 5-6 problems daily. Participate in coding challenges.
