Meet (Jas)Karan

Karan Walia

Hey there :) You may have seen before but if not.....
My name is Karan and I'm a 21-year-old from a tier-3 university in India who broke into big tech, landing roles at Microsoft and Google, and at the same time also got into MIT, NUS, CMU and Cambridge.

In college, I spent months wondering whether to focus on research, internships, or side projects, even applying to over 100 companies and never landing a single interview.

After landing offers from Microsoft, Google, and top institutions like MIT, CMU, NUS and Cambridge, I started sharing what really helped me (unlike these online "gurus" who sell without achieving), no fluff, just honest advice of what works and what doesn't ;)

I have to say Karan is quite a bundle of knowledge. Being a professor, I didn't expect it, but I got to learn a lot from him. The way he approaches cold e-mailing is quite unique and definitely out of the box.
