Coding is tough

I am a BCA graduate who passed out in 2023 from a private university in Jaipur.Just like any other BCA guy I started preparing for MCA entrance exams such as NIMCET but I am not enjoying it. Truth to be told I always enjoyed solving questions on leetcode as well as making some web dev projects. Even I had developed some kickass advanced level web dev projects and won a hackathon also. But from last year I have been not coding and I literally forgotten everything. I am not even enjoying my MCA exam preparation. Even though I am getting decent marks in mock tests but still I am now frustrated. Please help me guys what should I do next? I love to code. What I am thinking is that to take some distance MCA course. Give myself 6 months to upskill and take a job. What do you guys think about it?

Hey Grapeviners, I need some serious help. Bit about myself - just graduated this month and working as an APM at a seed stage startup. I have 1.5 years of product experience and 3 years of overall experience as an intern. Lately, not sure why but I am loving what engineers do. Closely working with them, and I guess it's nostalgic for myself. Because I did coding for 6 months and moved on for some reason. So, I understand how tech actually works. Have got good feedback regarding this. At the same time, I am not really finding the true value of what I am doing everyday. Feels a void inside. Also, I am not able to discuss all these things in person with someone, because I fear that they will judge me after doing internships for 3 years, I still haven't figured out my career. Such a loser I am. I have been thinking about starting coding again and maybe switching to a coding job in the next 6 months maybe. But again it would be tough for me as I only got weekends for me to learn all this stuff. What do you all experienced folks suggest? What should I do? Please comment if you can help 🙏

I’m a college grad from IIT in CSE. I haven’t done any competitive coding or any proper coding during my college days for that matter. I have lost confidence in myself for some reason. I had taken up a business job but left it in a few months because I thought I could do better. I want to do competitive coding but as soon as I open my laptop, anxiety kicks in. I need guidance on how to proceed and what recourses should I use. I don’t want to waste my degree as I feel I can do better than my previous job. Please help me on fighting my demons.

So confused right now. I am a 3rd year engineering student and know about datascience and ML and have surface knowledge about everything. Now I am thinking to move completely to netwoking rather that core coding and have wasted a lot of time in that. Any suggestions or opinions.

I am a final year b.tech cse student, I don't know much coding, but have an experience of 1 year internship at samsung, but stilk unplaced, I have lost all my confidence, I wasted too much time doing other things than coding, now if i have to start over again to get a job, is it possible for me to get it in 2-3 months.

Right now I'm at the end of my 6th semester of engineering in IT, i am not interested in DSA and doing coding ( I like it to some extent). I don't know what I should do now where as I'm interested in job role like digital marketing and roles which are related to marketing ( currently I'm doing and internship in an startup where I have role of seo and digital marketing) and in future I want to go into business and entrepreneurship which is my fixed mindset. But for my placement I'm doubtful that i would go for the DSA stuff (I find interest in business analytics but i don't have those companies for on campus placement and I'm just starting to learn it) , can someone help me with this and guid me.

> 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?

Hey- I’m a CS fresher from an NIT and ended up joining a company whose culture doesn’t sit with me. I’ve just joined the company and have no clue when to move- need experience and there’s a recession. Also, I’ll be doing an MBA (looking at ISB) in three years so is it fine if I switch or should I stay (not preferred but open)?

So guys I am working as a quality engineering analyst from past 2 years at accenture. They are providing a very nominal package and I am looking for a higher package opportunities. I have applied in many companies but didn’t get any good offer yet. So at this point of time what should I do? Should I go for cat preparation and do MBA so that I can have a pg degree or should I go for certifications and stuff and keep applying??
