easily.

i personally eclipsed this by trashing the mindset that i'm even competing against others.

what you need to do in terms of improving your work experiences, projects, performances on OAs, etc. is not dependent on what others are doing anyway.

in short once i realize my success should not depend on the success of others, i felt a huge improvement not only in my own productivity but an overall improvement of my outlook on the recruiting process such that...it became somewhat fun and enjoyable

thats actually phenomenal advise

#

thank you

#

ive dabbled in alot of things on and off for years but rarely have I committed to anything. I know 1 language well and another sort of ish - im a quick learner and automated my currnt job and then my school threw out a "Hey apply for this" to students so

#

I've never held any official software engineering job yet

#

so I am completely blind

#

I didnt even have a resume

#

that is until i stayed up all night making one

#

tis a grind

#

people talking about dsa interview questions and im just trying to make a resume shoot

normal sluice
#

I got an intern at Nokia (Network Solutions not the mobile phones company) and im more relieved that we have a girl there that is on the same boat as me as our skills are, I kinda realized Python is not really the best choice too

#

We both got return offers

#

But I think ill just be switching Python to Java in university and doing minimum part time remote there in Python or just leaving asap

#

I feel like im learning there but not programming

#

Just devops etc

#

I felt massive impostor syndrome also

#

More so I even worked more while on internship

#

It will come to bite my ass too probbaly
