Stuck in a rut at PS—need an internal move!
Hey everyone, I recently joined PS, hoping to learn new things, but this job is super monotonous. I'm really good with Power BI and Excel (Tableau too, but PBI is my jam). Any advice on how to approach internal mobility to start making Power BI dashboards? Who should I talk to? Based in India.

Interview Preparation Tips

Professional and academic backgroundI applied for the job as SDE - 1 in HyderabadEligibility criteriaAbove 7 CGPAVirtusa interview preparation:Topics to prepare for the interview - Linked List, Binary Search Tree ,Queue, Array ,DP ,Graph ,RecursionTime required to prepare for the interview - 3 MonthsInterview preparation tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Competitive programming plays a major role when you are appearing for coding rounds as a fresher. In the coding rounds, you won't get direct problems copied from Geeksforgeeks or Leetcode. You would be required to use your logical thinking to go ahead in the process. This is where competitive programming helps.

Tip 2 : Coding rounds are all about Coding + Timing. Most people fail to excel due to the pressure of a timer ticking on your head. So, instead of just solving problems, try to participate in timed contests. This will help you be used to the pressure of the timer.

Tip 3 : Many big companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and even Google expect you to be good at standard problems. So, once you are done with coding round by your logical skills and competitive programming, you must be well versed with some standard problems in order to excel.

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Make it short, crisp, and simple. It is always good to have a 1 pager resume. 
Tip 2 : Resume must comprise of the following: Educational Qualifications, Technical skills, Projects, Work experience (if any), Achievements. Other than this, you may include some extra co-curricular achievements.
