I have been trying to switch job for almost 2 years now. Have been doing leetcoding on and off. Did interview at few of the companies but have not been able to clear any of the interview. Got discouraged and gave up on the idea of changing job. But then I see all people around making progress, changing jobs and clearing interview and it gives me push to try harder again going down the same rabbit hole. How to remain motivated and also not get bored and feel that your life just revolves around these interview preparations.

    • I dont know this help or not but since you dont which specific area has issue give it try for this
      1. Go solve leetcode mock section try to give it as actual interview environment only. See how you doing are there things which you can improve ?
      2. Now do the same for system design you can take any problem which is on educative io solve it based of your abilities see if you have missed anything.
      3. Now ask help from your friends for for behavior and resume part of the interview
      4. Try pramp to take input for # 1,2

      During entire process try to judge yourself as interviewee who want to hire a engineer for his team and collect feedback points for yourself.

    A close friend of mine failed interview after interview and then a year later he aced all FAANG and made 4M in 4 years. Don’t get discouraged by failure. Also, if you are in a hole, stop digging. Make a change, even if it’s to a less known company as long as you’ll keep growing & learning. Don’t stay hung up on big company names.

    I wish I had a better way to encourage you but the truth I have learnt is that “When it is time, it is time”. The unfortunate thing is that we don’t usually know when it is that time. Hence, the reason you just have to keep trying, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. You always have to be ready!!

  • Having gone through something similar and landing a job eventually, I would suggest you to first find the reason why you want to switch jobs. How badly do you want it and how much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve that.
    Half hearted efforts would not lead to success as interviews have become difficult these days. You have to be fully invested in the task and ready to not give up when things get challenging.
    Set a timeline to find a job and go all in.
    Good luck !
