<rant> Companies coming for hiring (campus-placement) never look the knowledge of python as an additional advantage. Infact none of them care. I check-listed the profile of all the 20+ companies which came and none of them had to deal with anything python (except google, amazon, directi) and even these three were indifferent towards python. One had to clear written-round which consist of C/apti and then technical round consist of C/C++/Java/DS/Algo/OS, finally HR round which is generally non-technical. The skills they look for, python never fits into it. Mine one of senior (at Amazon) suggested me "Go learn C++/ Java and improve your DS/ Algo/ OS/OOP skills, and things of your interest can be done in free time after you land a nice job." He does ruby stuff in his free time and java at office. Just wanted to say that for a student, who want ti get recruited via campus placement knowledge of C/C++/Java is a must and the knowledge of python doesn't even count. Sad :( </rant>
