Dating, Work and LeetCode

When the day has come to a close And you are so weary after work You gotta see the movie she chose The prep is like the IPO of WeWork You can't seem to do LeetCode For she is always on your mind You then accept the status quo And hope your interviewers be kind How are you guys juggling all of this? The trio of work, dating and LeetCode It feels harder than defeating ISIS As time passes, I feel like a leaf node Would all the prep and the extra TC Be really worth it in the end? For grinding LeetCode ain't so easy On weekday nights or the weekend And as each day whizzes past you The questions asked get harder I really don't know what to do I guess I'll just trap rain water Seriously though, how are you guys doing it? TC: (the number of characters in extended ASCII)k PS: Trolls are always welcome.

Impressive. How much time do you have?

The thing I’m coming to realize is this career is really not setup for people that want to have any kind of life. I was a lot better at it before I was in a relationship or had any kind of social life or any hobbies.

https://www.ted.com/talks/nigel_marsh_how_to_make_work_life_balance_work/up-next?language=en I really liked this talk because he doesn’t skirt around the fact that some jobs simply do not lend themselves to “work life balance”

Your solution has minor gaps where things don't quite rhyme as they should. Rejected without any hints, and banned from interviewing here for the next 100 years.

It’s difficult. When I was seriously preparing for interviews my girlfriend at the time didn’t understand why I was always so busy. She eventually decided that she didn’t feel appreciated or got enough attention so she broke up with me. This is partly my fault, but I tried my best to balance dating with the leetcode grind. Unless you’re both a Chad and a 10x rockstar engineer, you’ll have to decide which aspect of your life you want to excel in. Inevitably the other aspect will suffer.

I am going through something similar. I do take out time to talk/meet guys, but what they think I am boring kind of person who doesn’t have any hobbies. TBH sometimes I was short on topics to talk since I didn’t knew what was going around in the world like new movies or TV series. This has came even from guys who are in IT and non interested to get into FAANG. So I decided to pause dating until I get into FAANG. During interview prep months, I am only able to work, cook to eat healthy and prep. I take least interest in other things.

Wework keeps valuation so stupid and it has gotten to the point no one is buying it.

Bruh same thing on my mind Kudos to you for still dating during the job hunt process. Not everyone can do this!

Or date a nerd. My husband and I have spent most of dating and married life nerding it out together.
