In a journey marked by sheer determination and perseverance, Abhishek Kumar from the small town of Jhajha in Bihar’s Jamui district has achieved a remarkable feat. Rising above the odds, this talented young software engineer has earned a prestigious position at Google’s London office, with an annual package of Rs 2.07 crore.
His inspiring journey from a modest background to a global tech giant is a story of dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence.
Abhishek, the son of Indradev Yadav, a practising lawyer at Jamui Civil Court, and homemaker Manju Devi, is now the talk of the town. His journey from a modest upbringing to landing a prestigious role at one of the world’s leading tech companies is nothing short of inspiring.
After completing his B Tech in Computer Science from NIT Patna, Abhishek’s first breakthrough came in 2022 when he was offered a position at Amazon in Berlin, with an annual package of Rs 1.08 crore.
There, he gained invaluable experience as a software engineer and later joined a German company in Berlin. However, his aspiration to work at Google never wavered, and his relentless efforts paid off when he finished the five-stage interview process, securing his dream job.
“I’ve always wanted to work for Google. It’s the dream of every software engineer. The environment here is designed to foster innovation, and I’m excited to grow further in this field,” said Abhishek, reflecting on his achievement. He added that hard work and dedication are key to success and emphasised his desire to contribute more to society through his work.
Abhishek credits his parents for his success, stating, “My parents have been my pillars of support. Their encouragement pushed me to keep moving forward.” His elder brother, currently preparing for a government job in Delhi, also shares the family’s joy.
Manju Devi, beaming with pride, expressed her elation, saying, “I’m incredibly proud of my son. He’s achieved what many can only dream of.” Meanwhile, his father, Indradev Yadav, echoed similar sentiments, “I always told my son to stay focused and dedicated to his work. Today, his hard work has paid off, and he’s going to be working with Google in London.”
Abhishek’s story is a testament to the power of persistence and ambition. His remarkable success is now being celebrated not just in his hometown but across the region, as he prepares to embark on a new chapter at Google’s London office.
