Hey, thanks so much for the comment. I haven't done most of those things that are expected at these top tier companies.

The only reason I thought I had a shot was because of my side projects. Apparently, just mentioning those in the resume isn't going to cut it. I guess OSS contributions definitely help in this regard (work experience).

Yes, definitely open for any feedback. Here's my resume - http://goo.gl/rswmvC Thanks! I will apply at Lookout.

I read a lot about how you get at least 1 interview if you have done side projects. I hope I get that.

Ask HN: I've been rejected for internships. What am I doing wrong?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm from India. I applied for internships at various startups, Facebook and Google. It's been a week and I have been rejected by everybody(Twitter, Stripe, Palantir, Quora) except Facebook and Google, probably because they take longer to respond.I'm trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Is it the fact that I'll need J1 visa sponsorship if I'm accepted, that the startups don't want to...

Wouldn't this make it super easy for Google to ban (show the security warnings in Chrome) the domains?

Here in India, all college communication happens on WhatsApp, except when communicating with teachers, for which everybody exclusively uses email.

Re:Docker closes $40M Series C led by Sequoia on Tuesday September 16, 2014 @03:30PM (#8326575)

Docker is one of those FOSS that I always want to actively contribute to, but I don't lest they seem to be doing great without any help.
