A router for requests coming to Tanay Pratap in DMs.

tanaypratap's DM router

intro πŸ‘‹

Hello! Please understand I am writing this with all positive intention. But, I am not reading my DMs anymore. Read ahead..

Understand that I have a full time job, and I try to help people in whatever time I get after office. I can't possibly scale to reply to every DM I get, with my posts reaching lacs of people every week, I can't do 1:1 replies. If you're here, chances are that you sent something in DM the answer to which can be found here.

If you don't find the answer below, then I am sorry, I'll add it sometime. You can meanwhile follow my work and witness me transforming students' lives.

you have a question ❓

I have been doing this for two years now and most of the common questions are answered. Thankfully, Google has indexed all my work so try that: "tanaypratap " and you'll land up on something which has the answer.

nohello 😑

Please don't do "Hi Tanay" and then go away. This is not an acceptable behavior for people who don't know you. You can read more about this here. If I can be honest with you, this infuriates me. Though I am working on my behavior, meanwhile don't do this.

mentorship request ☝️

I don't do 1:1 mentorship. As I said, that's not scalable. But I do have some limited capacity mentorship programs running details of which can be found on https://tanaypratap.com.

you're looking for a job

I can help you with this. But jobs will be in startups. Only in web dev, JavaScript and React domain. If you're interested, you should be good and have 5 full stack projects ready. Check out https://elevatelabs.tech for more details.

knowing about my career journey πŸ”

Google "Tanay Pratap". I have been interviewed on many student podcasts, YT videos already. Those will be the first result. Please go through it. There's nothing new which I can add to it. I have been open about my journey. But I don't feel like talking the same thing multiple times.

project review request β˜‘οΈ

I am sorry but I can't do this. A project review takes a lot of time and I have time crunch. However, there are a lot of folks who do this. I would encourage you to find mentors for this. People do this for a lot of students, so please go ahead and try to find other people.

meeting me 🀝

I am not some celebrity. Meeting me won't serve any purpose. This is a request which I find quite inappropriate also, please don't insist on this.

referrals πŸ–ŠοΈ

I don't refer people, I don't know. If you're here after you asked for a referral please understand this that referral means that I know you or I have worked with you. But since we haven't done anything like that I can't refer you. It's against my ethics.

microsoft job related queries πŸ‘”

How can I get a job at Microsoft? Are there openings? Answers to any such questions are here in detail https://bit.ly/tanay-ms-hiring

you're looking for a link to something?

I have a bad habit of creating a lot of internet properties and then talking about it here and there. If you're looking for my YT videos, podcasts, initiatives or something like that, please look here
