Riti Kumari, a software developer from Jharkhand, failed to get into IIT despite having good academic scores in school and college.
After feeling lost for a year, she decided to explore other career options and started preparing for interviews in the corporate industry.
She cracked her first interview at Accolite, which was focused on data structures and algorithms (DSA) and coding, and went on to crack interviews with over 13 companies, eventually landing a job with Walmart.
Kumari shared her story on Twitter to inspire others who may be feeling demotivated or lost.
