I’m getting incredibly depressed. I work at a startup where I make reasonable money (330k TC plus some illiquid equity that will hopefully become worth something one day) and I have 8 yoe, but I’m completely burned out and would like to leave for a better opportunity. Net worth is 1.2M all liquid at vanguard mostly achieved through very aggressive savings rather than stellar compensation, and I would like to fix that.
I have a CS master degree that I got with full grades, and in general I’m considered a good performer at my job, though not being FAANG the quality of the people is not too high in my opinion (me included).
I started a couple months ago refreshing my coding skills for interviewing using EPI and CTCI and some leetcode. While I tend to more or less get solutions involving data structures, except the most complicated ones in their category, especially around trees and graphs, I am a complete and utter failure when it comes to dynamic programming. After seeing a problem, I stare at it for an entire hour or two, don’t make any progress, then look at the solution and I can’t possibly understand how I could have arrived to that solution by myself. It’s just too damn difficult for my brain.
I seriously can’t even get one DP problem, especially the ones from EPI, they are completely impossible to me.
What do you think blind? Am I a moron who’ll never be able to get an offer from FAANG?
