City’s 15-year-old gets dream job in US, but later rejected, know why

A 15-year-old lad from Nagpur received his ideal job, but the company quickly withdrew the offer after learning of his age. Vedant Deoakte was browsing Instagram on his mother’s laptop when he stumbled upon a web development competition.

He participated in the challenge and over the course of two days, wrote 2,066 lines of code. Vedant was given the opportunity to accept full-time employment by the US-based company that organised the event once it was revealed that she had won the competition. Vedant received a salary offer of Rs 33 lakh annually.

Vedant, who was chosen among 1000 participants, was offered a role in the HRD team of a New Jersey advertising company. Upon going further, the company tanked the offer and withdrew it after finding out that he was only 15.

The company, however, told Vedant to not get demotivated and complete his education. “We are impressed with your experience, professionalism, and approach,” the team said. The company suggested Vedant contact them after completing their education.

Vedant’s skills are a result of self-tutoring which he claimed to have honed from as many as two dozen online tutorials. During his self-training, he focused on techniques pertaining to coding and software development. He practiced software developments on his mother’s slow and outdated laptop.

Vedant’s parents, Rajesh and Ashwini, work as assistant professors in an engineering college in Nagpur. They were surprised to hear about the feat their son had achieved. “We had no clue. It was a call from my son’s school that told about this offer,” said Rajesh, the father. Vedant received an email containing the offer letter. He was confused and told his teachers about it. “They were stunned when it turned out to be authentic,” Rajesh said.

It was then when the company got to know that Vedant was just a 15-year-old studying in the 10th standard. Rajesh is now thinking of buying a new laptop for his son, so he can get better at what he is already good at.
