Here's a hard truth about breaking into your career: students from privileged backgrounds have access to mentors, alumni networks, and career resources that most students can only dream of. Whether you're in India, studying abroad in Germany, or preparing for opportunities in the US — the information gap is real. Millions of talented students struggle alone, searching through fragmented advice, unsure if they're preparing for the right things.
I've seen this inequality firsthand. As a student in Chennai, I watched friends from well-connected families get insider tips about interviews, while first-generation college students had no one to guide them. The gap wasn't about talent or hard work — it was about access to information.
Sproutern was built to close that gap. Every interview experience shared on this platform is real — written by students who actually went through the process and wanted to help others. Every template, every guide, every tool has been created with one question in mind: "Will this actually help a student who has no other guidance?"
We don't charge money for what students desperately need. There's no "premium tier" that locks away the best content. If you're a student preparing for your career — anywhere in the world — everything on Sproutern is yours. Free, forever. Because career success shouldn't depend on where you were born or which college accepted you.
That's why Sproutern exists. That's what drives every feature we build, every resource we create, and every decision we make. We're not just another career platform — we're on a mission to democratize career guidance for students worldwide.

"During my Barclays off-campus drive, they asked the exact SQL query I'd read about here — finding the second highest salary. Prepared that approach specifically after reading someone's experience. Got the offer!"
Sneha Raghunathan
B.Tech IT, SRM Chennai
"I was confused whether VTU uses 9.5 or 10 as the CGPA multiplier. Called my exam cell, they confirmed 10. Your CGPA converter tool had it right when every other site showed 9.5. Matters when you're at 7.2 trying to meet a 70% cutoff."
Karthik Bhat
Mechanical Engineering, RVCE Bangalore
"Used the typing test for 3 weeks before my Wipro assessment. Went from 32 WPM to 48 WPM. The assessment had a 35 WPM cutoff which I would have failed earlier. Small things matter."
Divya Menon
BCA, Christ University
"I'm an international student at UT Dallas doing my MS. Found your salary calculator helpful for understanding Indian IT salaries since I'm considering moving back. The CTC breakdown feature is something US salary sites don't have."
Arjun Venkatesh
MS Computer Science, UT Dallas, Texas
"Preparing for TCS interviews from London for their Global Hiring program. The interview experiences here gave me a clear picture of what to expect. Much better than the generic advice on Reddit."
Priya Sharma
MSc Data Science, King's College London
"As a Master's student at TU Munich, your Germany guide was incredibly helpful when I was applying from India. The blocked account info and visa timeline were spot on. Now I recommend Sproutern to all my junior students back home."
Rahul Kapoor
MS Informatics, TU Munich, Germany
"Used your CGPA to GPA converter for my Express Entry PR application. The WES evaluation section helped me understand exactly what I needed. Successfully got my PR and now working as a Data Engineer in Toronto."
Ananya Krishnan
Data Engineer, Toronto, Canada
"The international scholarships section helped me find the Australia Awards Scholarship. Got 100% funding for my Master's at UNSW. This platform is a goldmine for students looking to study abroad."
Vikram Mehta
MS Engineering, UNSW Sydney
"I work in Dubai but wanted to understand placement processes for my younger brother in India. Shared your resume guide with him — he said it was more practical than the paid courses he'd looked at."
Mohammed Faiz
Software Engineer, Dubai
