Now, I can actually say, "My job hunt ends here". Maybe I could have said it a couple of weeks back but I just wanted to make sure.
When you are in the final year of the BE course you have an added burden of finding the right job. And that too when you are in the core course of ECE, the right job being a ECE-oriented job is even more hard to find. Sometime in July last year my job hunt started with an internship interview at LSI. I failed to clear it. This will be the first of my three tries at LSI.
My job hunt could have ended with my internship itself. Unfortunately(or fortunately ?), I couldn't get a clear offer from Lattice Semiconductor. A month and a half ago, I was holding an offer from Wipro(IT) and preparing for my last semester's finals. What amazes me is that I never thought I would take so much time to find a job. No one ever told it would be so difficult to find a job. I had fun in trying my luck at the best companies in India but it is a different feeling when you walk after you hear the words"you can leave for the day". My experience with job-hunting can be classified into the following cases, I think I have experienced pretty much all the possible cases.
Anyway, I have decided to choose TI among the offers I had. From this job-hunting season I take away that you need to be ready and to be dynamic in planning, as well as, execution of the plan because no one can guarantee that anything will happen as expected.

- I was rejected after the written round.
- I was rejected after the technical round.
- I was rejected after the HR round.
- I was rejected after being offered the job. yeah, this is possible. they just blamed the bad economy for the mess.
- and then, the best part, I cleared all the rounds and I was offered the job. This happened thrice(without considering the previous case).
Talent takes you to the doorstep but only luck will help you to open the door
