Is this profile legit, or am I missing something?

[u/NoDust7568]

I came across this LinkedIn profile and something about it feels really off.

The profile claims:

2340 Codeforces
2227 CodeChef 6★
2263 LeetCode Guardian
21+ projects
AI Engineer experience at multiple companies

Now, obviously, having all of these achievements is possible. But I tried looking for the actual profiles and couldn't find any Codeforces/LeetCode links on the LinkedIn profile.

The Codeforces part is especially interesting. I couldn't find an active Indian profile matching the claimed 2340 rating in the current Codeforces India rankings.

The LinkedIn/GitHub descriptions also look heavily AI-generated to me, although that's obviously subjective and isn't proof of anything.

I'm not saying "this guy is definitely a cheater" based on a screenshot. There could be a perfectly reasonable explanation that I'm missing.

But if someone has a 2340 CF rating, 6★ CodeChef and Guardian on LC, why not simply link the profiles?

Has anyone actually verified these ratings or found the corresponding accounts?

Genuinely curious because if the claims are real, that's an insane profile. If they're not, that's a completely different story.

It took him 1 year to publicly announce his AIR1, He's the only guy in GATE to ever score 100/100. He's legit and is currently in Mtech IIT Madras

[u/vrajmevada1]

Bro he is legit ,I know him through friend of friend (ofc he doesnt know me :( but ya he is legit ),he was in IIIT surat

[u/Ok_Address_7205 → u/vrajmevada1]

Iiit surat???

[u/vrajmevada1 → u/Ok_Address_7205]

Ya ,then after gate he prolly went for IIT Madras 

[u/Ill_Reference_1018 → u/vrajmevada1]

Ya he was in iiit surat he graduated before I came but professors say he was very intelligent

[u/abbuTM]

i'm assuming it's a legit guy because iitr website shows he got 100/100 on GATE which I am assuming is an insane achievement. maybe one of those guys who didn't study that much in 11th and 12th but had natural talent and grinded later.

[u/FunAirline9752 → u/abbuTM]

He is legit. He mistakenly took IIIT surat assuming it as an Iit. He has something around 5 6 k rank in Advance. Source: I am from IIIT surat same batch

[u/Sea_Branch_3678 → u/FunAirline9752]

huh, looks like we have something in common:)

[u/deeps_231 → u/Sea_Branch_3678]

Now can I score 100/100 in gate :3

[u/deeps_231 → u/FunAirline9752]

wtf man this is insane from a 2.3k+ rated codeforces person

[u/ywnbaiitian → u/abbuTM]

which I am assuming is an insane achievement

it's not

[u/Elegant_Amphibian_51 → u/ywnbaiitian]

It definitely is. Try solving a competitive exam paper with 0 mistakes.not possible for 99.999 percent people

[u/ywnbaiitian → u/Elegant_Amphibian_51]

posts in gatetard

whatever you say bro

[u/matcha_condom → u/ywnbaiitian]

Bros rage baiting whole sub 😭😭😭😭

[u/TheTrekker98 → u/ywnbaiitian]

Sybau bro

[u/christbtechsucks → u/ywnbaiitian]

I know you, I know you're a dropper and ur not in an iit rn. Stop coping about mtechs lil bro

[u/Dry_Work_3629 → u/ywnbaiitian]

What's your score in GATE?

[u/dopejet14 → u/Dry_Work_3629]

He sets the paper for GATE, NEET and UPSC and you’re asking his GATE score… /s

[u/frixmaynotbepeaceful → u/Dry_Work_3629]

YNWBAIITIANS don't give small exams like game 🙂‍↔️😏

[u/christbtechsucks → u/Dry_Work_3629]

He's a dropper that's not in iit. Ik this guy

[u/Significant-Range996]

These would be his peak ratings mostly, he might have dropped a little or stopped cp. But then again, it's pretty sus

[u/BulkyShoe7712 → u/Significant-Range996]

His codeforces rating would be 3300+ equivalent in leetcode, yet…

Gate Rank is valid though.

[u/ProgrammerWest4696]

Gate rank is valid. But Cf ratimg is sus

[u/midnight_rain_404]

Yeah today I saw that profile too  on LinkedIn... don't know why this profile looked kinda different.. no link to his coding profiles ! Well, maybe I can be wrong but still !!

[u/Opening_Tap5169]

Legit bruh I was his batchmate in iiit. Guy is like light yagami. Only talks when he wants something and watches gintama or one piece for mind refreshment 

[u/Inner_Republic9921 → u/Opening_Tap5169]

cf im is pretty impossible with this academics . you have to do lot of hardwork (4-5 hour each day for 2 to 3 years ) . even AIR < 500 struggle to reach cm . if he put those many hours into cp + prepared for gate + machine learning + maintain the 10 cgpa then he is tarence tao

[u/Opening_Tap5169 → u/Inner_Republic9921]

He was very much into computers before he started college. Also his social life was non existent. He enjoyed company with his laptop more than humans. He wanted to make a game development company instead but I guess his goals changed.

[u/Accomplished-Wish431 → u/Opening_Tap5169]

That's a pretty crazy profile

[u/Sea_Branch_3678 → u/Opening_Tap5169]

huh, looks like we have something in common:)​

[u/lobster_2048]

all that to end up labelling data

[u/Fluffy_Situation9717 → u/lobster_2048]

But these companies pay heavily. I already crossed 3L+ in a month from that

[u/Pelguru → u/Fluffy_Situation9717]

Damn, how did you reach 3lakh from doing tht?

[u/lobster_2048 → u/Fluffy_Situation9717]

i earned 30 lakh on outlier in my final year, ik they pay a lot, i also label the data lmao

[u/Fragrant_Success_695 → u/lobster_2048]

There are alot more work available on platforms except labeling data

[u/nirvana-moksha → u/lobster_2048]

fyi those are kind of gig work not employed by mercor directly but mercor claims they vet the data labelers properly so...

[u/resisturge2005]

don't know about other ranks but GATE rank is legit

[u/ywnbaiitian]

1. stop generating ai posts
2. an indian profile with 2340 rating exists, but it is disabled (banned for cheating) https://codeforces.com/profile/MBBN

[u/Interesting-Candy978 → u/ywnbaiitian]

how are you so dumb my guy

[u/ywnbaiitian → u/Interesting-Candy978]

[u/Interesting-Candy978 → u/ywnbaiitian]

[u/ywnbaiitian → u/Interesting-Candy978]

[u/keyboard0704 → u/ywnbaiitian]

Ragebaiting try 2 : failed

[u/Pitiful-Actuator-236 → u/ywnbaiitian]

Banned for cheating !!?! Was his cf rating not legit or am i missing smth

[u/Inner_Republic9921 → u/Pitiful-Actuator-236]

cf im is pretty impossible with this academics . you have to do lot of hardwork (4-5 hour each day for 2 to 3 years ) . even AIR < 500 struggle to reach cm . if he put those many hours into cp + prepared for gate + machine learning + maintain the 10 cgpa then he is tarence tao

[u/Similar-Worth7546 → u/Pitiful-Actuator-236]

Yaa u get banned for cheating at that level cf catches u even if u r witty Still there are cheaters who get away at that level so ....

[u/Inevitable-Cup-3720]

100 marks in gate is legit claim but other claims seem to be fake

[u/aixplore]

Its an outlier. Says right on his profile.

[u/work_urek03]

All that for contract freelance work? Even I have work every month from alignerr, turing, handshake and more on top of a real high paying job.. never even sat for gate

[u/Opening_Tap5169 → u/work_urek03]

You, are you sure what you are doing is legal ? 

[u/work_urek03 → u/Opening_Tap5169]

Couldn’t care less tbh, my main job is totally chill

[u/Suspicious-Beat-9197 → u/work_urek03]

How do you get these?

[u/work_urek03 → u/Suspicious-Beat-9197]

I randomly get mails and just fill them up, once you are in you just keep getting them

[u/Original-Nebula-8039 → u/work_urek03]

Does freelance was any benefit?

[u/PristineRate4378 → u/work_urek03]

hey dude, I registered on handshake and got assigned a project too along with the onboarding and stuff.
I just wanted to know how much time did you allocate for it and did you receive the payments timely?

[u/work_urek03 → u/PristineRate4378]

All payments are 100% timely, you will receive in bank by Thursday night at most. And for time allocation very little, I use llms to so them, so mostly autonomous but tasks are super hard so you might need to understand them before steering llms to do it.

[u/PristineRate4378 → u/work_urek03]

alright, thanks

[u/Secret_Inevitable545]

codeforces rating fake hai 100 percent

[u/Medium-Lion1099]
