Make 5-10 small projects.

Step 2: Show Your Work Online

Create:

  • LinkedIn profile (complete it properly)

  • Simple portfolio website (use AI to make it)

Post what you're learning and building.

Step 3: Start Small

Don't apply to Google first. Start with:

  • Freelancing on Upwork/Fiverr
  • Internships (even unpaid for 1-2 months)
  • Small AI startups

Get experience first, big salary later.

Step 4: Apply to Right Places

โœ… Apply here first:

  • AI startups (they hire fast)
  • Small tech companies using AI
  • Digital agencies

โŒ Don't apply here first:

  • Google, Microsoft (too hard at start)
  • Big IT companies like TCS, Infosys (too slow)

Step 5: Apply Smart

Instead of just sending resume:

  1. Find company using AI
  2. Study what they do
  3. Build small project related to their work
  4. Email: "I built this for you, can we talk?"

This works 10x better than normal job applications.

โŒ Expecting โ‚น40-50 LPA immediately

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tips
