Getting placed at TCSVinay Sriram started his career with TCS as a Software Test Analyst. In his thread, he remembered how getting his first job at TCS made his father proud. “I vividly remember my dad’s reaction when I said I got placed in TCS. (Though we were not a struggling family). It was one of those few moments where he hugged me and teared up at around 10 in the night when I returned home after my campus interview,” he recalled. Though his father held a stable government job and the family was financially secure, Sriram acknowledged that for countless other students, a job at TCS was nothing short of life-changing. “If it meant that much to my dad, a central Govt servant with a decent salary, imagine what it would mean to 1st Gen graduates and their parents, students coming from towns and villages who had to face bigger battles like oppression to even get to a half decent college,” he said.

He eventually ended up marrying her. “as a side note, a year later while waiting for my Date of Joining, helping a junior with her TCS interview prep (Though she didn’t make it & ended up joining Renault) I eventually found the love of my life and ended up marrying her and have two beautiful kids with her,” he said. Sriram responded to the hate that TCS gets on social media saying that “One man’s trash is another man’s Treasure.” “TCS is my treasure that gifted me the life I am living today,” he wrote.
