Quit job and do fulltime leetcode
Guys , My jobs pays fine but it is boring as hell. I have finished 50+ leetcode and still not comfortable giving interviews. Should I quit job and do leetcode for 2-3 months fulltime ? Any good bootcamps? Fortunately I don’t need to worry about money or visa.
I’ve debated the same thing... and came to the conclusions that it depends. If you are ok taking 2-3x as long to prepare stay at job and LC. Otherwise you risk getting low balled and/or having more trouble than you expect getting an offer. You will have way more pressure on interviews if you have no job or insurance, and no salary to start from for negotiation of an offer. If your job is unbearable or pay sucks the situation is different though.
Is oath that busy?
Not that busy but lately my team and manager expect me to work 6-7 hours daily on dumb ass project. They are super excited about project and I am not interested at all. Feel guilty.
Just take a long paid vacation.
Your job is boring. That's more common than you realize. Don't quit. It's human nature to come to a negative conclusion about people without jobs. HRs are humans and you might lose leverage. Also, it's ironic that we aren't super productive when we have free time 24/7. We tend to perform well under limited resources than under unlimited ones. Think about it.
This this this. Listen to this advice. You think you're gonna leetcode 8 hours+ per day as soon as your quit your job, but the problem is you'll just hate leetcode more every day, as much as you hate your job. And you'll start procrastinating or spending your time doing something less productive. And when do you know if you're ready or not? After 100 problems? After 200? After you've done every single problem? It's better to keep your job and do a problem or 2 every chance you have, and give yourself a deadline for interviewing. Also, it gives yourself more leverage during interviews because you already have a job.
The deadline for interviewing is tough though. Set deadline and goals for amount of LC to cover. However, deadline for interviewing can work against you if you miss your shot because you aren’t ready yet and have to wait a year to reapply. Do a couple interviews with companies you don’t want to work for to gauge where you stand. When you’re confident you are as ready as you can be schedule phone screens and onsites with all your top picks together and try to take one long pto and do 5+ onsites to maximize chances of offer and leverage
Have patience. Keep doing 2-3 everyday. Sometimes repeat. I did that for 4+ months. At the end, it will be worth.
Your hiring manager may fail you for risk analysis for doing something like this, despite your leetcode excellence.
Is it possible to slack on the job and do leetcode full time? You would need more than 3 months so you need health insurance from the job
keep job and do fulltime leetcode
