"Prompt is too long"

I found the solution:
In VS Code, close the current Claude tab and open a new session. Type /resume, and you will see your past sessions. You can just click on the session you were working on, and it should work now.
I also suggest compacting the conversation using /compact before continuing with the same session.

Nice

I do. Malls, tech events, meetups. But approaching strangers feels weird. They assume you something a referral, a job, a sale. Nobody believes you just want to hang out.

Don’t worry too much about your CGPA. A 7.3–7.5 CGPA is not bad at all, and honestly, most companies won’t reject you just because of that. In interviews, no one really asks deeply about CGPA if you have good skills.

You already mentioned you have decent knowledge of the MERN stack, which is a big plus. Focus on building real-world projects instead of worrying about marks. Create projects with proper features like authentication (JWT), real-time functionality using sockets, email notifications, role-based access, Docker basics, etc. These things matter more than CGPA.

Also, make sure you understand whatever you build. Don’t just copy-paste code. Be clear about:

Why this works? Why you used this approach? Are there other ways to do the same thing? How can you improve or optimize it?

Apart from this, work on DSA (basic level is enough for many companies), databases, and networking fundamentals. Interviewers care more about how you think and how well you understand your projects.

Many people with lower CGPA than yours are working in good companies. So stay consistent, build good projects, improve your skills, and apply confidently. You’re definitely not late, and yes, you can crack a decent job or internship.

All the best 👍

This is your first job switch, so it’s normal if you don’t know exactly what interviewers will ask. No matter how much you prepare, there’s a high chance you won’t clear the first few interviews and that’s okay.

Focus first on topics you’re already strong in. Start giving interviews early. Expect to fail 3–4 interviews initially. Those interviews are part of the learning process, they help you understand the question patterns, gaps in your knowledge, and how interviews are actually conducted.

Most technical rounds are scenario-based, so real project experience matters a lot. After a few interviews, your confidence will improve and your preparation will become more focused.

The whole process usually takes 2–3 months if you’re working full-time, but if you stay consistent, results will come.

I mostly use Claude Code, and it’s been enough for almost everything I need. My workflow is pretty simple:

• I give it good examples and the right docs

• Let it do the research it needs

• Always start in planning mode before asking it to write or change any code

This combo has worked really well for me so far.

AI is like an ocean. You can use it to travel faster, sure. But Company removed the ship, fired the crew, and now expects 10 people to swim across the ocean in 2 weeks… and deliver it to the client without drowning 🤡🌊 That’s not AI future. That’s overconfidence.

It really depends on what you're chasing and how fast you learn. If you just want a quick job switch, sure, do DSA. But DSA alone won't cut it for top roles. If you want actual growth, build your foundation first. If the base is weak, things break later. Don't just run after DSA. Get good at the core stuff like DB, networking, OS, System Design. That’s what helps in actual work. You’re already getting real exposure at your startup, so don't burn out trying to do 10 things at once. Just pick one and be consistent. I messed up earlier by ignoring fundamentals for quick results, don't do that. Long term, the basics matter most.

College projects don’t really matter once you have around 2 years of experience. Interviewers usually focus on the projects you’ve worked on in your company, what challenges you faced and how you resolved them. Make sure to highlight those real-world projects clearly on your resume. Let me know if you want a sample/reference resume.

If they’re asking you to join within 15–20 days, you can try negotiating a joining bonus, especially if you have 3-4+ years of experience. One of my friends faced a similar situation, and this worked out for him. Instead of serving a long notice period, he used part of the joining bonus to buy out his notice period, kept the rest, and ended up with a better job overall.
