Breaking into tech without prior experience can feel impossibleโ€”especially when every posting demands what you donโ€™t have: experience.
But hereโ€™s the truth: Skills > Experience (especially for interns).

Letโ€™s break it down into a proven 6-step roadmap that actually works๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿญ: Build Core Skills (No CS Degree Needed!)
Start with the fundamentals:
โœ… Choose one language: Python / JavaScript / C++
โœ… Learn DSA basics: Arrays, Strings, Recursion, Hashmaps
โœ… Explore either Web Dev (HTML, CSS, JS) or Backend (Node.js, Flask)
โœ… Understand SQL + Git/GitHub for version control

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฎ: Build Mini Projects (Your Real Resume!)
Internships look for what you can do, not just what youโ€™ve learned. Build:
โœ… A Portfolio Website (HTML, CSS, JS)
โœ… A To-Do App (React + Firebase)
โœ… A REST API (Node.js + MongoDB)

๐Ÿ‘‰ One solid project > Dozens of certificates.
๐Ÿ“ Showcase it on GitHub and LinkedIn.

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฏ: Contribute to Open Source (Get Real-World Exposure)
You donโ€™t need a job to gain experience. Try:
โœ… Beginner-friendly GitHub repos
โœ… Fixing bugs, improving documentation
โœ… Participating in Hacktoberfest, GirlScript, MLH

This builds confidence and credibility.

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฐ: Optimize Resume & LinkedIn (Your Digital First Impression)
โŒ No generic lines like โ€œIโ€™m passionate about codingโ€
โœ… Highlight projects, GitHub links, and tech stack
โœ… Use keywords like โ€œSoftware Engineering Intern | JavaScript | SQLโ€
โœ… Keep it conciseโ€”1 page is enough

๐Ÿ“Œ Stay active on GitHub + LinkedIn. Recruiters notice!

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฑ: Apply Smart, Not Hard
Donโ€™t just mass-apply. Be strategic:
โœ… Check internship portals (Internshala, LinkedIn, AngelList)
โœ… Explore company careers pages (TCS, Infosys, Amazon, startups)
โœ… Reach out via referralsโ€”network with seniors, alumni, or connections

๐Ÿ’ฌ Try:
"Hi [Name], I admire your work at [Company]. Iโ€™ve been building skills in [Tech] and am seeking an internship. Are there any roles I could apply for?"

Networking opens doors applications canโ€™t.

๐Ÿ”น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฒ:Ace the Interview (Preparation Beats Perfection)
โœ… Know your resume inside-out
โœ… Review basics of DSA, OOP, DBMS, OS
โœ… Practice your introโ€”highlight projects + relevant skills
โœ… Do mock interviews with peers or platforms like InterviewBit, Pramp

And if youโ€™re rejected? Donโ€™t stress. Ask for feedback and keep building.

๐ŸŽฏ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ = ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต
No one starts perfect. Consistency beats credentials.
Start small, stay curious, and show up every day.

Commonly asked System Design CONCEPT BASED interview topics -

1. Horizontal vs Vertical Partitioning:
Vertical partitioning splits tables by columns, often separating different features. Horizontal partitioning splits tables by rows, distributing data across multiple servers. Vertical organizes data logically, while horizontal improves scalability + performance.

2. Apache Kafka:
Kafka is a distributed streaming platform using a publish-subscribe model. It's fast due to the sequential disk I/O, zero-copy principle, and efficient batching of messages.

3. Rate Limiter:
A rate limiter controls the rate of requests a client can make to a service. It prevents overload and ensures fair resource usage.

4. JWT vs OAuth vs SAML:
JWT is a compact, self-contained token for secure information transmission. OAuth is an authorization framework for delegated access. SAML is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data.

5. Single Sign-On (SSO):
SSO allows users to access multiple applications with one set of credentials. It typically uses a central authentication server and protocols like SAML/OAuth.

6. Microservices vs Monolithic Architecture:
Microservices architecture breaks an application into small, independent services. Monolithic architecture is a single, tightly-coupled unit. Microservices offer scalability while monoliths are simpler to develop + deploy.

7. Reverse Proxy vs Forward Proxy:
A reverse proxy sits in front of web servers, forwarding client requests to backend servers. A forward proxy sits in front of clients, forwarding their requests to the internet. Reverse proxies are used for load balancing and security, while forward proxies are used for anonymity and filtering.

8. CAP Theorem:
The CAP theorem states that a distributed system can only provide two of three guarantees: Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance. In practice, partition tolerance is necessary, so systems must choose between consistency and availability during network partitions.

10. Efficient Caching Strategy:
Implement multi-level caching (browser, CDN, application server, database). Use appropriate cache invalidation strategies (TTL, event-based). Consider cache coherence for distributed systems.

Type of problem, while solving DSA problem in Array

โ—
There are many types of problems that can be solved using arrays and different techniques in Data Structures and Algorithms. Here are some common problem types and techniques that you might encounter:

๐Ÿ. ๐’๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are given an array and a window size, and you have to find a subarray of that size that satisfies certain conditions. You can use a sliding window technique to efficiently search through the array by maintaining a current window of fixed size and updating it as you move forward.

๐Ÿ. ๐“๐ฐ๐จ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you use two pointers to traverse the array from both ends and find a certain pattern or condition. For example, you can use two pointers to find a pair of elements that sum up to a target value, or to reverse an array.

๐Ÿ‘. ๐’๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are asked to sort an array in a certain way, such as in ascending or descending order, or according to certain criteria such as frequency or value. You can use sorting algorithms such as merge sort or quick sort to efficiently sort the array.


๐Ÿ’. ๐’๐ž๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are asked to find a specific element in the array or to search for a certain pattern. You can use searching algorithms such as binary search or linear search to efficiently search through the array.

๐Ÿ“. ๐’๐ฎ๐›๐š๐ซ๐ซ๐š๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are asked to find a contiguous subarray that satisfies certain conditions. You can use techniques such as prefix sum or Kadane's algorithm to efficiently find the subarray with the maximum sum.


๐Ÿ”. ๐‚๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: In these problems, you are asked to count the occurrences of certain elements or to count the number of subarrays or subsequences that satisfy certain conditions. You can use techniques such as hashing or dynamic programming to efficiently count the occurrences or number of subarrays.

Problem: Given an array a of n integers, find all such elements a[i], a[j], a[k], and a[l], such that a[i] + a[j] + a[k] + a[l] = target? Output all unique quadruples.

Solution: of course one way would be to just use 4 nested loops to iterate over all possible quadruples, but this is quite slow O(n^4). Another way is to iterate over all triples, put the sums into a set and then in another pass over elements a[i] check if we have any triple with sum (T - a[i]). This would give us O(n^3), and we need to keep track of which elements gave us the required sums. Another step is to iterate over all pairs and put results into a map from integer to indexes of elements, which produce this sum. Then in another pass over this map we can see if we can get a sum of T using two different values from the map (and they shouldn't be using the same element twice). This approach has time complexity O(n^2).
