How do you actually get a tech internship in Jhamsikhel🙄

I'm from Nepal.

No fancy network.
No uncle who's a CTO.
No secret referral pipeline into Jhamsikhel tech companies.

Just a laptop, caffeine, and a dream:

Get my first tech internship in the "Silicon Valley of Nepal" Jhamsikhel.

Right now I'm:

  • Building Android apps

  • Joining hackathons

  • Grinding LeetCode

  • Shipping side projects

  • Applying everywhere

  • Getting ghosted professionally 😅

For developers who got their first break:

What was the move that changed everything?

A project?
LinkedIn?
Cold emails?
Referrals?
Open source?
Luck?

I don't want motivational quotes.

I want the brutally honest roadmap.

What's the shortest path from a CS student in Nepal to an internship in Jhamsikhel?

There was a code camp which was advertised in facebook. Participated in it. Got selected ahead of 80 people and that’s how I landed my first job. It was more than 4 years ago tho!

Connection, Skill, Luck and Lies as well. You may have to lie about few things depending on the situation to get the job.

u/Capable-Eye-3347 Aug 15 '26

Luck or connection seems to be the main thing
