Advice to the juniors:

• Its always better to make hay while sun shines, which I unfortunately didn't. But was fortunate enough to have SAP coming to campus at correct time.
• Its better to be prepared before hand and not screw up even a single job interview as it may simply cost you, your future.
• Very essential to balance between placement preparations, studies and final year project work.

• Once you manage to get a job, its the Best feeling in the world.
