The day couldn’t get any better. First I got some sweet swags from Microsoft & now I have been accepted into MLH Fellowship. Yeay!! π₯

MLH Fellowship Selection Email
π¨π»βπ» MLH Fellowship?!
So MLH or Major League Hacking is a US-based company that operates a league for student hackathons. When the whole COVID -19 happened, they introduced a fellowship program that was supported by the likes ofΒ GitHub, Facebook, AWS, Indeed, Twillo, Dev Community, etc.
During this program, the fellows work in a pod. Each pod is assigned to a specific project. Each pod has a pod leader that makes sure that everything is working just fine. MLH fellows also get a stipend of up to $5,000.
π₯ Process
I am especially including this part in this piece because from past experience, I know I am going to be asked this question a lot. What was the whole process?
There is a form. You fill it. It is quite long at least 10 to 12 pages. Fill it carefully. Then there are two interviews. One is non-technical. The other one is technical. Goes without saying that you need to clear both of them. And then voila! You would be reading a selection email with your name in no time. π
π Props
This piece is incomplete without mentioning Arslan Khattak who helped me a lot during the whole application process. Arslan was accepted in the first-ever MLH fellowship cohort. He is a GitHub Campus Expert & Learn Student Ambassador @Microsoft like me. And there is another friend of mine who helped me a lot during my interviews.
I would also like to mention that without the support of mentors like Ahmad Awais, Maedah Batool, my elder brother Ashar Irfan & Saqib Ameen, I won’t be doing all this I am doing right now.
