So I failed 2 company final rounds that I would've loved, got the 3rd at Amex AZ. I stopped going to the gym to leet everyday for 3months & it hurts. Life has been nice lately, I consider my karma to be good, but being rejected has me thinking I can't go out like this. I enjoy my team/wlb & don't think 20k is worth starting fresh at the bottom especially if I plan to try again since I feel Amex is viewed the same as Fidelity & I want each jump to be worth it whether prestige or $$$. I plan to start working out again & to learn sys design besides just doing LC while I get my mental health back since I feel im not as energentic as I used to be. LC: 170+ TC: 72k YOE: <1
20k probably not worth if you're not excited about it. Keep trying to get one you want.
I wanna point out how this is worse to you than 10-52 men busting in your mouth.
The title on this one ... 🙄
With <1yoe and only 170 LC it is hard to get into any top companies, competition is fierce these days as H1B is no longer an issue for new grad
Why skip the gym? You can do both. I would gym 1 hour after work then leetcode until bed time weekdays and weekend I'd go gym and leetcode rest of the day and maybe do something social at night.
agreed, even when grinding LC for 5+ hours a day I have time for 8 hours of gym a week
True, ig bad time mngt lately, I used to do 1-1.5hrs a day since I enjoyed doing my miles before weights + cooking meals/meal prep My LC was basically 0 & my friend over time trained me like a dog to skip gym if I was serious. Picking up soda after not drinking it for 3yrs, to not stick to a diet I maintained so long. Honestly I feel sick knowing I let myself go (lost weight + probably weak as hell now)
