Hey everyone!
Thought I'd share a small win here. I completed my internship at BNY Mellon and ended up getting a PPO, so I'll be joining them full-time!
When I was preparing for my internship interview, I focused mainly on three things:
- Solved more than 500 DSA questions (yes, 500 😭)
- Built 2 full stack MERN projects to have something practical to talk about
- Revised CS fundamentals, mainly OS, DBMS and SQL
Not gonna lie, there were times when solving questions felt never ending, and I kept wondering whether all that preparation would actually pay off. But looking back, being comfortable with DSA and having projects I could explain definitely helped me prepare for interviews.
Still have a lot to learn, but I'm happy that the internship worked out this way.
For people who've done internships and received PPOs, was the transition to full-time work smooth, or did things feel completely different? 👀
