Atul, A Visionary Ahead of Time & an Inspirational Trailblazer at Masai

A tale of ambition and triumph unfolded when we interviewed Atul, SDE-1 at Pococare, who hails from the vibrant city of Patna. Atul diligently pursued various learning avenues, including a YouTube course before he made his way to Masai.

It was an unforeseen encounter with a YouTube ad for Masai that changed his career trajectory. Drawn by the promise of endless possibilities, Atul took the Masai challenge and emerged triumphant.

Today, Atul stands as a testament to the remarkable rewards that await those who dare to dream and persistently pursue their passion.

Discovering Masai

Atul's journey with Masai began during his second year of college.

Recognizing that a college syllabus was old and wouldn't be sufficient to guarantee him a career, he turned to YouTube videos to learn to code. It was during this time that he stumbled upon an ad for Masai, which caught his interest. The idea of pay after placement intrigued him but he also had his fair share of doubts.

Ten days later, he came to know about Masai opening its own offline study center in Patna and organizing an event for the same. Atul attended the event, where he met a few Masai alumni, and had lunch with Yogesh Bhat and Prateek Shukla.

This meeting strengthened his confidence in Masai and he took admission.

Parents’ Reaction

When Atul made the life-changing decision to join Masai, his parents were unaware of his aspirations in the field of technology. Living in a village, his family had limited knowledge about this field.

In fact, they didn't even know that Atul was pursuing BCA at the time.

Atul, being resourceful and independent, had been freelancing to pay for his BCA education without burdening his parents. Masai presented him with a remarkable opportunity to continue his studies without having to ask his parents for financial support.

With determination and courage, Atul decided to start his new journey at Masai without even informing his parents. His resilience and self-reliance exemplify the power of following one's dreams and paving one's own path to success.

The best thing about Masai

For Atul, the best thing about Masai was the incredible community of developers that he became a part of. Whenever he faced technical challenges, this community was there to lend a helping hand.

The support system at Masai was truly remarkable, always ready to assist him with any problem he encountered. What Atul found particularly valuable were the one-on-one sessions, where he received personalized guidance.

Whether it was technical assistance or even support for mental health, Masai provided a comprehensive network of support for Atul and his fellow classmates. This nurturing environment allowed him to thrive and grow as a developer, making Masai a truly exceptional place for his journey to success.

Construct Week Experience

Atul's Construct Week experience at Masai proved to be a transformative journey. In each Construct Week, he got the opportunity to lead the teams he was a part of.

These experiences taught him valuable skills in managing people and resolving conflicts, both on a personal level as well as on GitHub. Today, these skills are immensely valuable in his current job, where he confidently leads from the front.

Atul takes charge of the front end and oversees the entire development process, end to end.

By tackling real-life problems, such as building popular websites, he gained invaluable experience that prepared him for the challenges he would encounter in the professional world. Atul's Construct Week experiences served as a stepping stone towards his success, empowering him to excel in his chosen field.

Placement Experience

Atul's placement journey was filled with ups and downs, ultimately leading to his remarkable success. In the first round of placement, he secured a data scraping job, becoming the first person in his batch to get placed.

However, a month later, when his company started hiring developers in a different domain, Atul expressed his interest to the CTO for the same role, but unfortunately, his request was not heard. Determined to follow his passion, Atul made the brave decision to leave the company and return to the placement cycle.

However, the tech industry was facing a recession at that time, posing new challenges for Atul. After a few months, he secured an internship on his own at an edu-tech company, where he didn't earn much but gained valuable knowledge and experience. Even though he was then assigned to the curriculum team, Atul decided to leave PhysicsWallah as his true calling was in building products.

His perseverance paid off when he secured a job through Masai. Throughout the process, he sat for interviews with ten different companies, showcasing his determination and drive. In the initial three months after rejoining the placement cycle, Atul aspired to work in an unicorn company. However, as time went on, he faced a crucial decision between pursuing MCA and choosing a job to learn hands-on.

Ultimately, Atul chose the path of practical learning and secured a job, embarking on an inspiring journey of continuous growth and accomplishment. His placement experience serves as a testament to the importance of resilience, adaptability, and making choices aligned with one's aspirations.
