Motivation for Interview prep

What keeps you motivated to grind leetcode or random design question every day/week? Tried multiple times and given up 😔 YOE - 10

It can be a person/movie/promise/rejection/failure/betrayal/loss/expectation/relationship etc, it could be anything. I'll start - Raju Hirani for making Dunki, had a lot of expectaion from this but didn't feel THE RH movie at all

I am preparing for the Staff engineer role. Have put my resignation without any offer in hand due to being highly underpaid, no recognition towards my high-value work, poor management, toxic work culture and work-life balance. I lose all my motivation to study gauzing at the things I am yet to study for the interviews. I don't want to settle with another mediocre company and stay under paid just like today. At the same time I don't have any monetory reserve to feel safe on financial side. Please help me with your words and past experiences of being in a similar situation.

I'm working as a Frontend developer (SDE-1) with 1.5yoe, I joined this startup 4 months back. Earlier I was getting paid 9lpa and later I was offered 12lpa without even asking for my previous compensation. I accepted because my earlier organisation was very toxic. Now coming to the point, I came to know that for the same level and same role they're paying 16+lpa. And this is making me mad at them. Within 3 months I'm handling 1 of their 2 products (customer facing) all alone. And I'm doing great work tbh (not boasting) but if they have 10 major features. I have developed 4 of them all alone, solved really critical down time bugs and improved the product. Now I own this product and if any bugs come, I'm the person who's assigned the work. I want to have a chat with the Founder but I'm not sure what to say and he's a guy who will try to save the money at all costs. I'm really mad at this point of time and I'm planning to leave in a few months. If I have a chat with him and he says something harsh, I will resign then and there I'm triggered to this level. And there was no kind of appreciation from them, I'm taking most tickets during the sprints and delivering quality code, communicating well and thinking in terms of product, if there is anything which can be improved I ask from them. How do I have a chat with him and what do I say? Current CTC - 12lpa Expected CTC - 16 - 20lpa YOE- 1.5 (planning to have the call around 3-4 months later), so I will be almost 2 yoe by then.

Hello everyone, How is your interview preparation going on ? And do you also find it re starting it again while working in a company in parallel ? My story is I have 9-6 working hours but sometimes stretch it in night too. Whenever I plan on doing DSA either i find it too boring or my streak gets broken due to company work. Any plan on how to do both parallel? Thank you

I am working as senior SDET and want to to job change as Lead SDET. I will be giving interview after 5yrs, quite nervous about my preparation. What all topics which majorly company asks?

> Got hired as an SDE with a good package. > Came to the company expecting an SDE job > Forced another role with little to no coding and in a field which I have no experience. > Feels like college once again, studying something which you don't like > Thought I would escape it if I join a company. > These AHoles Fked it up for me. > HR will reply 'business requirements', probably > Pay is really good. > Dintech UnICron starts with R > Should I consider quitting? > Is there an option to change teams within org?

Swiggy has become a toxic Ex for me now and there is no time to think about it at this point (for me atleast) I need to get back on my feet soon (sole earner in my family) and need some help. It has been a really long time since I prepared and stepped out there, so need some help in knowing what's going on out there. It would be great if someone can help with these: 1. Any interview resources I can start with 2. What all things I need/should prepare for 3. Any tips and tricks for the interview preparation I think it will be a lot of help for me and others too who are in the same boat. I was an SDE2 here and thinking of stepping up to SDE3 as well but right now even an SDE2 role would suffice. So will prepare accordingly

I am working remotely at a SaaS company for 4+ years now. I started working since my final year of engineering. I joined here as a software engineering intern when the product was really new and booming. I have gotten bored of my work now, especially since I have been working from home all the time. I have very little social life. And I am getting fixed salary of about $1400 each month. I am thinking of switching to any Indian startup because I am not happy with my job being so monotonous and less pay at this level of experience. What should be the approach to crack the interviews? I have done DSA practice during my college days, but didn't crack any interviews with it. I am a full stack web developer but it doesn't excite me anymore and I want to stick to backend roles. And is it possible to crack an interview with for 30-40 LPA at this stage? Or do I have to climb up a salary ladder for a couple of years?

I’m currently a Frontend Senior Software Engineer. Mainly my work resolves around optimising web performances. Lately, I’ve feeling very unmotivated as I feel like I’m wasting my potential in my current company even though the work here is not entirely bad. Need some advice on how to handle this scenario and if switching to a bigger better company would help. If so how do I prepare for FANG level frontend interviews?
