This is how I got a job at Google and Microsoft as a software engineer with a 2.8 GPA and zero work experience. Trust me when I say if I can do it, then so can you!

I started off as a high schooler with zero experience and zero interest in wanting to go into computer science, but on a whim I decided to take a computer science course my very first quarter of college and it completely changed my life. I attended Dartmouth College (an ivy-league university) and I majored in computer science.

Fast forward to my sophomore year of college, and I begin to start taking some algorithms and data structure courses that I end up getting a D in. Yep, a D. This grade I got in college ended up in me having a very bad GPA (2.8) right as I began to start recruiting and interviewing at tech companies for software engineer internship positions. Because I knew that recruiters were either looking for a good GPA or a good project experience and strong technical skills, I knew that I had to focus on software engineering projects to stand out in my interviews and job applications since my GPA was so horrible.

Some side projects that I had in my resume was a hackathon that I participated in with a few friends where we built a smarter calendar app, and then another “self-imposed” hackathon where I ended up building out a better class scheduling web-application. On top of this, I reached out to a professor at my school and I did some research with them, so I had a computer science research project on my resume as well.

These side projects allowed me to build out my resume enough to get an interview at Microsoft for a software engineering internship with them, which I ended up getting.

After I finished my internship at Microsoft, I got a full-time software engineer job offer from them where I would be paid $145,000 a year as a software engineer at Microsoft. While this was a great offer, I didn’t accept it right away because I knew I wanted to interview at Facebook, Google, Amazon, and other big tech companies to see what other job offers I could get.

In the next round of interviewing that I did, I ended up interviewing for a ton of tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Palantir, Qualtrics, and much more. At the end of it all, I ended up getting a job offer from Google where I would be making $170,000 a year as a Google software engineer.
