Podcast with Gaurav Sen: Interviewing, competitive programming and software engineering
Hi everyone!
This is a fun video where I and Gaurav talk about some topics which are interesting and useful for both students and professionals working in or aspiring to be in the software engineering industry.
The podcast kick-offs with me asking some general questions from Gaurav so we have a better understanding of who gkcs really is. We then go on to discuss topics related to software engineering, competitive programming and interviewing.
Gaurav highlights how people face setbacks in life and gives a few pointers on how to overcome failure by sharing some of his personal experiences.
