To get an internship at MAANG, you need strong coding skills, especially in one programming language like Python, Java, or C++. You should understand data structures and algorithms well because they help solve problems quickly. It also helps to know how to work with databases and basic computer science concepts. Practice coding problems regularly and build small projects to show your skills. Communication and teamwork are important too.

Hello Udit Jain,

That’s a great goal! Getting an internship at MAANG (Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google) is tough — but not impossible if you prepare smartly.

Here are the key skills you need:

🔹 Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA):

You must be strong in DSA — arrays, strings, trees, graphs, dynamic programming, etc.

Solve problems on platforms like LeetCode regularly.

🔹 Programming Language:

Be comfortable with one language like C++, Java, or Python.

🔹 System Design (Basic):

Understand how to build scalable systems or mobile/web apps — even basics help for interns.

🔹 Projects:

Build 2–3 good quality projects (Web, App, ML, etc.) and host them on GitHub.

Be ready to explain your code and decisions.

🔹 CS Fundamentals:

Know the basics of OOPs, DBMS, OS, and Computer Networks — they often ask theory.

🔹 Resume & Communication:

Your resume should highlight impact, clarity, and skills.

Also, practice clear communication for interviews.

But honestly — everyone’s path is different.

That’s why I invite you to attend my free trial mentorship session, where I’ll:

▪️ Check your current skill level

▪️ Create a personalized roadmap

▪️ Share best resources for MAANG prep

▪️ Help with resume, projects, and mock interviews

To land an internship at MAANG you need to stand out across technical, problem-solving, and communication skills. Here's a breakdown of what you need to focus on or strengthen:

1. Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA)

• Be strong in arrays, strings, hash maps, trees, graphs, heaps, sliding window, DP, etc.
• Practice on Leetcode or InterviewBit
• Aim for solving 300–500 quality problems

2. Problem Solving Speed & Accuracy

• Ability to solve medium-hard Leetcode problems in 30–40 minutes
• Improve by mock contests on platforms like Leetcode.

3. System Design (for advanced or returning interns)

• Understand Low-Level Design (LLD): OOP, design patterns, clean code
• Basic High-Level Design (HLD) for common systems: rate limiter, cache, URL shortener, etc.

4. Projects (Impact + Relevance)

• Build 2–3 real-world projects: Backend APIs, Web apps, scalable systems, etc.
• Prefer open-source, public GitHub, or live-hosted demos
• Use tech like Node.js/Java/Python + Mongo/Postgres + AWS/GCP + Docker/K8s

5. Computer Science Fundamentals

• Operating Systems
• DBMS + SQL
• Computer Networks
• OOP Concepts

6. Behavioral & Communication Skills

• Be ready to explain your thought process, trade-offs, and decisions
• Use STAR format for behavioral interviews (esp. Amazon)
• Practice mock interviews with peers or mentors
