Is formation dev worth it?

Looking to pay a hefty amount for it. Tried lc on my own but keep getting stuck. What are some good resources or coaching alternatives?

What is formation dev?

Cognizant yrBI82 OP Dec 25, 2022

It’s for technical interviews prep

I found it great to help me learn how to LC and it builds up from the basics and gets progressively harder so you don't feel overwhelmed or unmotivated. If you don't want to shell out as much cash, I'd recommend Neetcode.io

What’s your new TC after you get a job? I guess it will be worth it if I can get at least 200k with my 3+ yoe

Also worry how am I going to pay if I can’t sustain the new job

I thought about doing it, but decided it was too expensive. I ended up self-studying and paying about $1K in mock interviews. If you’re stuck self-studying then it’s probably worth it given Cognizant comps on Levels.fyi. What’s your TC now and how much is market for your YoE?

Cognizant yrBI82 OP Dec 25, 2022

I’m at 90k with 4 yoe.Base on my conversation with the founder, I would be qualify for L3/L4 so around 200k I guess for tier 1. Yea been kinda hard to nail them through self studying

That sounds pretty reasonable and a worthwhile investment if you can 2x your TC

LeetCode, plus watching NeetCode (a YouTube Channel) solution videos on YouTube work very well for studying.
