My Quora answer on I am a final-year electronics engineering student. I am interested in a core company. I want to work for Texas Instruments or ISRO. How would I get there?




As you have not mentioned here about your college, so i am considering that you are not from any Premium Engineering Institute like IITs. Because if you are from IIT than Perhaps it is not a big deal for you to do the job in Texas Instrument.
So here i am assuming that you are from a moderate engineering college and you have a decent academics along with some attracting extraa curriculum activities. Here what i mean from extraa curriculum activities is that you must have won some hackathon in IITs, You should be good in coding too & have some research papers on your name. If you hold a patent Record than its also good.
Now if you want to job in Texas Instrument right after your B.Tech and considering that you are not from Top college, Chances are very less. Here i am attaching some points which are only for Texas Instrument-
  1. Fill your Resume with achievements: Your resume should reflect that how much potential you have. Its should be full of achievements, Research papers, Projects, Hacakthon etc. The more stronger resume you will have the higher the chances you have.
  2. References: Try to make contact with those persons who work in Texas Instrument. If you have a good contact with them than they may refer your profile to the HR management of Texas Instrument. For it you can use Linkedin, Facebook, quora etc.
  3. Decent Academics Record: your Academics record should be good. No compromisation from the academics should be at all. It is the first thing which any Company will look. Your Higher CGPA along with good achievements will surely give you an advantage & you will find yourself some step forward from other Candidates.
  4. Go for Higher studies: The last option here is that you should go for higher studies. If you go for M.Tech, then try to pursue it from IISc or any Top IIT. and try to accomplish above mention all the 3 points there. There is a high probability that you may selected for Texas Instrument. If you are not willing to do M.Tech and instead of it want to pursue Phd or MS than its also good choice. Just remember one thing that wherever you go just try to accomplish above mentioned 3 Points.
Now let me talk here about ISRO. If you want to do job in ISRO than there is no college barrier at all. But you must be strong in your Academics. There are basically two ways for ISRO.
5. GATE: Gate is an all india based exam. It is Graduate aptitude test in Engineering. Its basically for Admission in M.tech in IITs & NITs. Along with it PSUs also accept gate score card and Top rankers are directly selected for Interview. If they wish to do job in PSUs. So you can give the exam of gate and if you are among the top rank holders (around 300 rank for general candidates) you can apply for ISRO. you will be selected for Interview & If you selected in that then its almost done.
6. ISRO Online Exam: If you could not perform well in gate than don’t worry. ISRO also conducts its own exam. Exam held usually in the month of march. The question asked in the exam are full technical related to your core subjects. And if you qualify the exam than you will surely get a call for Interview.
I hope This would help you.

My Quora answer on I’m a 3rd year ECE student interested in programming and networking. Should I go in for a network admin or embedded software?

Its quite common Dilemma among the ECE Undergraduates. Infact i know some of my seniors who did their M.Tech in different specialization & doing work in some other field. So, first of all its up to you That in which field you want to make your career. I will suggest you if you have ardent interest in any of the field then choose that field. So you can enjoy your work and make significantly growth in your career. Now here i am providing an comparison between these two on different parameters- Salary-  From salary point of view embedded field (Software Engineer, Developer, Coder ) dominates somewhere over Network administration field (DevOps, Ops, SRE etc). But the difference is not too much. But it is not always certain. Salary also depend upon timing, Location, Personal Skills and much more. you can check these two links to check the salary of these two fields- Salary: Network Administrator Salary: Embedded Software Engineer 2.  Pressure of work: Network a...

What are the simple businesses for startups this year?

There are so many ideas on which work can be carried out & now a days most of the graduates are working on these ideas. But the important thing here is that  in which field your ardent interest falls . You can start working in any field, You could also have a fantastic idea but if your interest does’t fall in that then you will sabotage it quite easily. Never think that your idea is quite common and any one can steal it . No not at all. Let us suppose For a moment why anyone have not produced yet another google/facebook/apple etc despite we have one of the best programmers all across the world. Because of their unique selling property. Its the quality of your product which anyone can not produce. And you can only bring that quality in your product if you do your work with full interest. So Idea could be anything but make sure that you have lot of interest in that. So when you will work on that idea then it will create the history.  Here i will suggest some of t...
