Did u make most of ur friends from after high school like in college, or is ur most of ur friends from high school.
I mean like presently, when did you make most of the friends you have today at?
Also how does like making friends when u first go to college work cause like u know probably only 1-2 people max
Im only in my 2nd year of university, but I knew no one when I first came here as I moved across the country. Try to connect with people in your program/major before hand, like join some discord servers, ig group chats. Thats where most of my friends come from, and also try to connect with people you live with at your dorm. But most of my friends are people that in my program at university but I'm still friends with a lot of my highschool friends even though I live a long ways away.
There are hardly any jobs in India at the moment.
Why do you think Indians go abroad and get the highest-paying jobs?
We prep super super hard for jobs and interviews. Recently a foreign company (east asian) company visited for a job there. The interview was just tooooooo ez like they were asking for your hobbies and projects from resume and hardly lasted 15 mins. Basically, they were hiring people for free but Indians are unwilling to go there because of different culture + food + climate + language barrier.
Same for companies from USA or EU, like it's just a cakewalk getting jobs there as long as they are willing to hire foreign people.
Compare that for Indian Companies when they come for Interviews, they will ask you literally every piece of tech that exists.
Extremely tough Algorithmic questions that cannot be solved with commonly known data structures.
Very in-depth details of how technologies work like how tf does docker work internally (How am I supposed to know this? I never even mentioned docker in my resume or the courses I took.) Like I am an Electrical Engineering student and you are a mobile telecom company? Why do you care about docker which is a purely software dev thing + DevOps stuff.
Or do you know the mathematical derivation of the PCA algorithm used in Machine Learning (like who tf remembers this it's taught in like the start of the second year here + you are hiring me for a software developer not a machine learning engineer)?
TLDR: The competition is just way too high in India to get a decent job. I have a chance cause of my university, and foreign companies mostly prefer to hire from here they don't even give a chance to other universities. My high school friends were not fortunate enough to get into one.
I went to university 10 hours away from my high school friends so I kinda had to make new friends. I got 2 super close besties at university now and we do everything together. I think the danger of staying closest to ur high school friends is that it's hard to grow with them bc you are all gonna change a bit as you go through college into young adulthood. If they can grow with you, great!
Btw I love these threads we are getting on vlr today real life shit
lost contact with most high school friends. Still friends with a few people but I am barely able to meet most of em as we all in different cities
Was only able to make a few college friends cause of covid ( almost 2 fkn year spent at home) but after college that freindship fell apart . Still in contact with a couple of them.
now on my sigma grindset
I only have 2-3 friends from uni, all my closest and most active circles are from high school or before (my childhood friends are still my closest friends). Granted, this is by choice, as attending student life events in uni just gives me anxiety usually and i havent put in any real effort into making new friends cause i'm happy with my current friends.
