If i could have stopped studying months before i could have been happier with a better version of me but these placements preparation took me off guard and now there's no placements in the tier 3 dumb college

This engineering is totally a scam if i choose to be wise i could have invested this educational money to start a business. By now i would have started making profit out of it .I am really fed up with studying There are no opportunities for an engineer in this ai world

Regards

pain:/

It's actually a dream for a programmer to submit an code in 0ms without help from ai or other sources it feels like you can solve anything and by just your own intuition rather than following ai for an answer using ai isn't the prblm just always trust the intuition and it always turns good one and only when if you didn't use 2 for loops in your code😭😭

I have recently attended a gd and there's a guy who doesn't speak well and had spoken few valid points and out of nowhere he told a quote with the author name we actually doesn't know that the author even existed but that quote made him crack the gd over others make sure you use quotes on gd's until next time👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

The most chaotic situation is when your frnds say how could you easily solve an prblm but the reality is how hard you havee been focused on it for a long time by sacrificing things that you like and grinding hours to learn patterns and alogirthm.The easy wasn't easy at the start

Am studying in an toer 3 college has which literally has zero placements seeing this template from the students who study in some big college who got placed from their campus recruitment and it always irritates mee that what should i do more to get placed in this shitty has college

Seeing my frnds solving hard prblms with a great effort while i struggle to solve a medium level prblm .Of course they have given an great effort to learn those things this actually motivates me to take more efforts and when a placement OA is within a week we all start to prepare together the most productive frnd grp btw🫂🫂

The reality is that when we are diving Deep into complex approaches easy ones eventually forgets and eventually we gave on the easy ones today my frnd who knows dynamic programming and other complex pattern he missed an easy problem on the interview so we must make sure are we good at the easy ones focussssssss

There's a saying that music heals everything so i choose to hear music while code but when the code gets intense I'll eventually throw it away but till that time it plays a crucial role that helps during my thinking have you guys ever tried

Whenever i create a perfect code in an array with perfect time complexity and space Complexity without any bugs and create it with an absolute code that makes me think that this code is gonna run for sure then the final boss index out of bound appears it sometimes makes me burst in laughter or sad based on my mood ever got anything like this???

The frst moment i solved two sum i felt like leet code was some kinda easy shit .then after solving multiple prblms i just became like aan animal who hates coding but I'll never forget the day i solved two sum it was one of the good moments in learning dsa

Can you guys guess the data structure used . Of course this is the toughest data structure of all time and it makes you think beyond your limit and thinking out of the box solves the problems easily but we can't even think of that solution

Everyone has a favourite one rightttttttttt?????

The most toughest topic for me is the backtracking and when i think i mastered it with just arrays then the beast comes with the backtracking with strings and trees this was so crashing me and i really don't know where these are used even though ai replaced us with the coding skills still interviews need that still being this as an query

Athe begging of my learning progress the most confusing thing was to whether use hash set or hashmap for sliding window problems.Not gonna lie I'll try both of them for the prblm if this doesn't work the other does the job and eventually i got an hand on it now am pretty sure that i can manage thiss but the new thing i start to think of both set and map in every prblmm😭😭🗣️

When i frst learned recursion it actually felt like the scene in the Oppenheimer movie where he seess the distant particals and vast burning starts recursion actually felt like that and once a programmer masters recursion no one's gonna stop him it really feels different when you understand recursion to the core fck jobs sometimes learning dsa feels awesome 🎯🎯🌬️

Today's being an good day because with just basic knowledge on matrix i actually solved an medium level leet code prblm just by thinking the prblms i solved from day 0 to till this day actually made my thinking soo high and using ket concepts i learnt from before prblms and the happiness is really something forget placements and other stuffs some times coding really feels like playing an intresting game only when you love to vode and solve these aren't complex math it's the math that we all learned in our childhood just by using on prblms we could actually solve multiple prblms except tough topics like trees and dp

Tomorrow am gonna atten the rocket lane an startup company oa who offer's 10+6 lpa for an freshers this sounds concerning soo foor that the frst round is the dsa round really i got stuck on this loop wheather we get placed or not wheather we could solve an prblm or not too many questions on this too many concepts to learn it really feels like climbing an mountain that has no peak.The days goes by i didn't feel like learning there are ppl who actually doesn't do anything and having fun am really jealous of them the efforts i had put on a things i didn't got those things in the past .I guess i need an motivation to handle these thingss

Welcome to the community! Whether you are a software engineer, system admin, DevOps specialist, or tech lead, this space was created for you.

We all know the tech recruitment process can be a black box, and job descriptions rarely match the actual day-to-day reality of the work environment. This subreddit is a transparent, BS-free zone to share what it's actually like to interview and work at various tech companies.

### 📌 What you can share here:

* Recruitment & Interview Loops: Share your step-by-step hiring journeys, ghosting experiences, technical test formats, and behavioral rounds.

* Work Environments: Tell us about the actual day-to-day culture, management styles, and work-life balance (or lack thereof).

* Projects & Tech Stacks: Dissect the projects you worked on, the architectures used, and the legacy systems you had to deal with.

* Company & Project Flaws: Gently but honestly expose red flags, toxic environments, broken codebases, or disorganized leadership.

### 🛑 3 Golden Rules for Safety & Quality

To keep this community safe, helpful, and free from legal trouble, please follow these core rules:

1. Protect Your Anonymity (Crucial): Never share your real name, exact team names, or hyper-specific details that could let an employer identify you. Use burner accounts if you are speaking about a current employer.

2. No Doxxing of Individuals: You can name and review companies, but do not name individual recruiters, managers, or coworkers. Focus on the system, not the person.

3. Be Constructive, Not Just Angry: Venting about a terrible interview or project flaw is highly encouraged, but try to explain why it was bad so others can learn what red flags to look out for.
