Very rarely do we come across people who have the calibre of turning into a star at an early age. Anshika Gupta, ex-student MMMUT is one LinkedIn celebrity who defied all odds and got placed at Amazon in her final year, without having pursued the mandatory summer internship. This video captures her story of reaching the top, the intricate details of her journey to Amazon and hear her tell the tale of the incident that made her famous within hours!

Anshika earned recognition and fame within hours of posting her journey to Amazon on LinkedIn. To her surprise, she had messages and requests pooling in at an enormous rate, so much that by the end of it all, she had about 4 million views, 16000+ connection requests and 1 Lakh+ reactions. Students from across the country were curious to know more about her, her journey, her career trajectory, her interview at Amazon. Given a chance, they’d even ask her about what she ate and what time she slept, even if all of that seemed completely irrelevant in regard to her placement at Amazon. 

Nevertheless, she decided to share her journey with a wider set of audience and slowly started giving out advice in terms of what an engineering graduate must do in order to get placed by the end of his/her final year. She shared experiences from her own life to talk about the difficulties she faced and how she never gave up even when self-doubt made it difficult for her to walk any further. 

With mentions about the importance of hackathons, coding competitions and an equal emphasis on the core skill-sets, Anshika talked about the essential tools that come in handy for a computer science graduate. In the detailed video above, she reveals the various interview rounds of Amazon WOW (the competition that turned her dream into reality), how she sailed through them all and everything else that brought her closer to that one goal of making it to Amazon.
