How did I get my job at LinkedIn? Through LinkedIn.
Before my current role, I had heard great things about the company and its culture. After hearing about InDays (Investment Days) and how LinkedIn supports its employees, I knew I wanted to work there.
While at the College of Engineering, Trivandrum (CET), I knew I wanted to pursue a career in software engineering. Engineering is something that I’m good at and absolutely love, and my passion for the field has only grown since joining LinkedIn. When I graduated from CET, I began working at Groupon as a software developer, starting on databases, REST APIs, application deployment, and data structures. From that role, I was able to advance into the position of software developer engineer 2, which enabled me to dive into other software languages, as well as the development of internal systems. That’s where I first began mentoring teammates and realized I loved teaching and helping others. It was around this time that I heard of LinkedIn through the grapevine.
