What It Really Takes to Crack MAANG+ Product-Based Companies | Ft. Manas Bhardwaj (SDE-3 @ Oracle | Ex-MakeMyTrip & Gaana)
🚀 Dreaming of becoming an SDE at Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or top product-based companies?
Most students want to break into MAANG+, but very few know the real roadmap. The biggest challenge isn’t talent, it’s lack of direction, misaligned preparation, and no inside understanding of how top companies hire.
Many learners struggle with:
Not knowing how to balance DSA, development, and system thinking
Confusion around which topics actually matter for MAANG+
Spending months preparing without a structured plan
Weak project portfolios that don’t stand out
No clarity on interview expectations at product-based companies
To solve this, we’re hosting a powerful session featuring Manas Bhardwaj, SMTS / SDE-3 at Oracle, Ex-Senior Software Engineer-II at MakeMyTrip (Ex-Gaana). With real experience inside large-scale engineering teams, Manas brings an insider’s view of how top companies evaluate candidates, what skills they prioritise, and how to approach preparation strategically.
In this masterclass, Manas will share:
⭐ What You’ll Learn
