🌟 Expected Salary vs. Market Value for Gen Z in India 🌟
As Gen Z steps into the workforce, there's a noticeable gap between their salary expectations and the current market value. According to recent surveys, Gen Z believes they need an average salary of ₹14 lakhs to feel financially healthy. However, the reality is quite different, with the average Gen Z worker earning around ₹2-7 Lakhs annually. This disparity highlights the challenges and aspirations of the youngest generation in the workforce. While their expectations may seem high, it's essential to understand the factors driving these numbers, such as rising living costs, student debt, and the desire for financial security. Employers need to bridge this gap by offering competitive salaries, growth opportunities, and a supportive work environment. On the other hand, Gen Z should focus on building skills, gaining experience, and understanding market trends to align their expectations with reality. Let's work together to create a balanced and thriving workforce for the future! 💼🌍

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I had 6 rounds of technical interview . Each round of 1 hr or more. In all the rounds I was asked to write proper programs (Sometimes on HackerRank, sometimes on an IDE, sometimes just on a text editor.) . Questions were designed to test problem solving abilities and proper use to dataStructures and coding basics. Lot of emphasis on writing efficient program with least time complexity possible.

During preparations, its important to understand basics of different dataStructures and how to efficiently use it in your programs . For practicing interview problems, I referred leetcode and geeksforgeeks . Solving different kind of problems from these websites really helped me. Dynamic Programming is also an important area from where lot of problems are asked in interview.
