I got rejected by Google
I got rejected by Amazon
I got rejected by Nutanix
I got rejected by Cohesity
I got rejected by Salesforce
I got rejected by Facebook
I got rejected by Goldman Sachs
I got rejected by Microsoft

I was rejected by many companies, Including my dream job.

What changed? Who changed? The answer was right in front of me. I changed.

⚡ I worked on Myself.
⚡ My knowledge.
⚡ My Communication skills.
⚡ My resume.
⚡ My interviewing skills.
⚡ My Connections.

And Finally my one yes at Microsoft.

Because even if rejections tell you that you're not good enough, you can tell them otherwise.

Don't give up.....

It is always important to prioritise your financial goals, whether they are retirement or emergency funds.🏥

Since I started earning a decent amount of money 💰, I started spending it impulsively as well without thinking about the long-term consequences. I was unable to manage my money which caused me financial losses. I could barely save any amount to share with my family and it did last for quite a few months until I finally took hold of my expenses.

I could see my colleague buy a car from his past investments and here I was with no savings left.
It was then that I finally started my search for some good alternatives to grow my money through investments and savings.

Being from a humble background, I was always hesitant to take too much risk, and since I had already lost a large amount of money in 2018, it was hard for me to initially stick to the stock market 📈

I bifurcated my income and followed the 50/30/20 rule which included 50% of money spent on needs, 30% on wants and 20% to be saved and invested. This did bring a great change and I was able to save and invest a some amount atleast to begin with.

The potential of the US market💵💵 was something I wanted to explore next as I came across an article with top 10 companies in the world where the maximum companies mentioned were listed in the US stock market.💡

While researching how to invest in the US market, I stumbled upon INDmoney a financial platform that offered zero account opening fees and SIPs in US stocks at just Rs. 500. They charged me no fund transfer fees and also no commission or brokerage was involved. Using their app was super fun and easy to understand.

I started investing a small amount each month through a systematic investment plan.
They provided me with an affordable and convenient way to invest in the stock market.💸

Some financial tips I learned over the years through my investment journey and would like to share with everyone:

💰Creating a budget can help you better understand your expenses and allows you to make informed financial decisions
💰Saving regularly and building an emergency fund for the future are important for financial stability
💰Always consider your risk tolerance before investing
💰Stay up-to-date on financial news and continue to educate yourself. It is always important to do your own research before making any investment decision.
💰*Be disciplined. Financial success often comes down to discipline and consistency. Stick to your budget and invest regularly.

How Just Giving 1 Hour Helped Me Get Into Microsoft ⭐

3 Years ago, I was working at a job that felt stagnant.

I wanted more, but the thought of cracking an interview seemed tough. 😓

After a lot of thought , I decided to start small → just 1️hour of dedicated practice each day.

That single hour became my turning point. ↩️

At first, it didn’t feel like much.

I used that hour to revisit fundamentals, solve a problem or two on LeetCode, or watch a system design video.

Slowly, it became a habit.

One hour a day turned into seven hours a week.

With time, my confidence grew, and the problems that once seemed impossible became solvable. 💪

Here are the three key lessons I learned about consistency during my journey:

👉 In the beginning, I tried marathon study sessions, but burnout came quickly. Instead, I found that 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 worked better.

👉 To get comfortable with interviews, I simulated them during my practice hour.

👉 Whether through mock interviews or solving problems under timed conditions. This helped me a lot.

One hour a day.

It wasn’t magic, but it transformed the way I approached challenges,

Result → landed an offer from Microsoft.

CONSISTENCY was the secret 🔥not just for improving skills but for building the confidence I needed to succeed.

If you're preparing for your next big career move, start today. It doesn't have to be overwhelming Just 1️⃣ hour a day.

From reading the newspaper to 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 😊

When I first started working at Microsoft I had a habit of reading the newspaper in the morning.

Today, I saw an article about myself in The Economic Times It was such a surprise! I had no idea that someone writing about my journey to become a software engineer at Microsoft.

I got so much appreciation from my colleagues and team members saying that they were proud of me and how it was an amazing achievement for someone who just joined Microsoft two years ago.

But my story wanted to say: Don't give up on your journey, don't give up on your dream, and don't give up on your passion!

Try and try until one day when you have a true passion for whatever you do, you'll see results. Results may not show up on the first day but since will definitely show up if you keep trying.

Take my example—I have joined Microsoft two years ago and it took me all those years to reach Microsoft and to get published in newspapers.

Still, keep trying! Miracles can happen at any moment in your life and miracles will happen if you have a consistent effort toward your goal.

Have a happy day!

From “Nope“ to “Microsoft“ My Job Hunt Hustle.


Remember those fancy LinkedIn profiles screaming “IITan at Google, coding ninja at Amazon“?

Well, mine ain't one of those.

Let me spill the real chai,

Before the air-conditioned offices and free samosas, my job hunt was a monsoon of “nahi, thanks.“

Over 50+ Rejections, my friends.

From Flipkart to Zomato,

Every tech company in the desi startup scene sent me polite versions of “nope, not you.“

Ouch, right?

My confidence felt flatter than a dosa after lunch rush.

But guess what?

Those rejections weren't dead ends,

They were detours to coding bootcamps like nobody's business,

Building side projects that made aunties say “Wah!“,

And turning my resume into a weapon of mass job-landing.

Slowly, the tide turned.

The “nahi, beta“s morphed into “batao bhaiya, kya skills hai?“

Then, the holy grail – the offer letter.

Not just any offer, mind you, an offer from the software giant itself, Microsoft.

Boom, from rejection to Redmond, baby.

This ain't a humblebrag, yaar.

It's a love letter to every job seeker out there,

The resume warriors braving the “nahi karo“ battlefield.

Rejections aren't failures, they're feedback in neon,

Urging you to code better, network harder, become the tech rockstar they can't ignore.

So, next time a “nahi“ stings, remember this:

Your time will come.
Keep grinding,
Keep hustling,
Keep building.

Because that rejection letter might just be the first page of your epic startup story.

How can you smile Santosh?




I don't know how many times I've been broken down and lost in emotions.

Questioned myself and was frustrated over my actions.

You're the same as me. Isn't it?

Every other day, I'm asked how can you be so positive all the time.

How can you smile all the time?

How can you be so happy?

I'm not Sweetheart.

I don't know anyone who's!

You might be knowing, but I don't know.

You just know me from my social feeds and the content I post.

You might know me from the messages we sent.

You have good days, bad days.

Tomorrow could be a better day.

- I have feelings
- I have emotions.
- I smile.
- I cry.
- I laugh.
- I quit.
- I start.
- I do everything.

And at the end,

I pull myself up for another one.

You Man-Up,

You swallow your tears.

You Women-Up.

You act strong.

I don't.

I know me.
And that's my biggest superpower.

You see that as a smile.

What it takes is 10 minutes of sitting with you.

And a cry if needed.

And that's what you don't.

No one laughs 24/7.

I think I need to write this on my wall.
