How I Got Into Amazon: My Review of Scaler Academy

Our Scaler Mentees are an integral part of our coding community and it gives us great pride to be able to see them grow into a better version of themselves.

Here is what our Scaler Shubham Verma had to share about his experience with us,

"I came to know about Scaler Academy when I was in the final semester. I have some decent knowledge of DS&Algo but that was not enough to crack top tech giants interviews.

I joined it and as the name suggests Scaler Academy help me scale my skillset level by level. The course is very well designed in sections such that it will prepare you interviews in the first 3–4 months of the course. It’s obvious that software engineering is not all about DS&Algo, so in the next 2–3 months you will be trained on different Backend/Frontend technologies as per your choice. So overall this 6-month course not only makes you good at interviews but also gives you your first hand-on experience in the software engineering field.

I was persuing this course along with my job in a not so well known company. I got referred for plenty of good companies in-between the course and I faced a lot of rejections too. But you need to show your persistence in those tough times. Now finally, I’m leaving this company and going to join Amazon in the next few weeks.

This experience of mine for Scaler Academy is for those who are like Nobita and are in their final year. Most of you will argue that everything is available online and we can learn by ourselves and I’ll agree but that too requires a streamlined guidance from someone which you might have but not others and then the concept of teachers will be null and void.

It was a nice experience for me at Scaler Academy. It is backed by really good instructors and industry mentors. They will try their best to help you out in every possible way. You will achieve much more in those 6 months which you might have missed in those 4 years of college."

Here's the link to his complete story.

Scaler Academy Learner, Anshul Jain shares her learning experience with us: "During my BTech and MTech years at Delhi’s Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology (BPIT) and Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) respectively, I particularly enjoyed working on problems and learning more about Data Structures and Algorithms. In fact, I have been extremely interested in DS and Algo since high school. However, as much as I enjoyed my classes in college, I always felt the syllabus was too theoretical and that the teaching could have been more industry-specific. Later, while working at CaaStle in my first job as a front-end developer, I saw an ad for Scaler on Facebook and I immediately registered for the program. I used to attend DS and Algo coaching classes in college as well, hence, I knew that additional training would really hone my skills. In addition to DS and Algo training, I wanted to learn more about System Design as well at Scaler Academy. Check out the complete Review...

Introduction to Pointers in C

What are Pointers in C?  A pointer is a variable that holds the address of another variable. A pointer is a derived data type in C. All the computers have addressable memory locations. The value of these variables is stored in these memories only. We can access these values of the variable in 2 ways: (i) By using the name of the variable. (ii) By using the address of a variable. The use of pointers are made in the second method Values stored in pointers are addresses, where data is stored in memory. Example:           int i = 8;           i → name of the variable           8 → value at address           65599 → address in the memory. How to Use Pointers in C? If we declare a variable i of type int, it will store a value.  int i = 0 The value of i is 0 now However, each variable, apart from value, also has its own address (or the address of the location where the value is saved i...

Through Interviewbit, an interview preparation platform that was established in 2014, we have helped over 4000 software engineers land their dream job in leading tech companies.  Gradually over time, most of these companies drove their hirings through our Platform.  Upon interacting with the folks on the platform, we came to realize that the ones getting placed had one thing in common: a mentor-like figure be it their siblings, seniors.. to guide them through the process.  That brought about the birth of the program Scaler Academy back in April 2019. The objective of  the Scaler Academy Program:  To help shape software engineers who can create a massive impact. Scaler Academy Curriculum : Structured, Industry-Relevant Curriculum [ Download PDF ] We have reverse engineered Scaler's curriculum by talking to the top product companies and understanding what skills the software industry needs the most right now and arrived at a conclusion that there are two fundamen...
