Im not a great coder..

Im a slow learner. I feel software engineering is not for me. I haven't ever solved a leetcode medium /hard problem so far ( even with looking at the solution in discussion section) If I find it something difficult to do, I convince my mind that Im not interested in doing it. For me every day its a struggle, everytime I find the work Im doing is beyond my logical capacity and thinking. At the same time I don't feel like learning it too. After some struggle I find a way grinding myself extra hours / nights to do it with the help of colleagues ( mostly) and sometimes not(takes a lot of time ) . It is mostly with the fear of getting PIPed or getting fired. Please comment what do you think of this and how to overcome ?

Why not try other related roles like SDM or TPM?

What's TPM?

And how to get into one as a new grad?

Life is going to be hard if you lack motivation. If you're struggling that much, you need to take a step back and learn the fundamentals better. If you can't muster up the motivation to do that, maybe ask yourself if you really want to stay in this field long-term?

You couldn’t have said it better. Took the words out of my mouth. Not interested and can’t motivate myself to learn. I’m really thinking of going back to school to realign myself

Too less motivated to express it with more words 😐, and I don't want to go back to school

I also hate coding, and I really really wish I could do something else and make this much money. Maybe TPM is the way to go… or pre sales or something
