I was recently scrolling through linkedin as a regular day to find
my daily dose of depression
And Suddenly I saw a profile of x Person who started his engineering in July 2023 has 500+ LC Problems solved a CI/CD pipeline set up project and What not
I was so shocked to see at what level the competition has raised a first year guy who has just entered the stream has started all this
I am a graduate and barely knew all this back then
This X person has 4 starts in CodeChef and Some ratings in CF
If this person and I are competing for the same job
I felt I will be trashed to bins
And I see the Leetcode guys 500 Solved Rating this that just in 1st and 2nd year of college
I was terrified and impressed at the same time
Are these next generation too impulsive to over skill them for a job ?
What are your thoughts?
