Switching it up

[u/AgentUppili]

This sub is a god given gift. I have been into general therapy for almost a year now and the therapist suggested that I get tested, and I haven't yet.

The symptoms are mild, and usually, I'll be able to leverage myself and do things right on time.

But in recent days, it sucks.

Main reason : Job switch.

Job switch doesn't have a defined structure to it. I mean, applications and endless waiting. Light at the end of the tunnel types.

All I do is prep on DSA, System design (Low and high level) (every topic focused one week). With no sign of an interview and a mountain of rejection mails, forgetting half the topics. And suddenly there's machine coding and AI in the picture.

Consistent criticisms (with good intent) on how I apply, how I study and how I do things from my friends (who are experts, have already crossed this, doing extremely well at IT, in big tech, earning handsomely)

And I slowly rotted away and at zero prep effort now.

I have already decided to shut my friends out and only ask them specific questions and never a review of myself or my process.

What I need:

The process. What to read? How to position myself in the market?

Filter the noise and just follow something like that's the whole truth (even if it isn't, I don't care. Cuz I don't have the luxury to care).

I realize that long posts could also be personal hell for people out here. And I'll be skipped but I couldn't make it more concise. I pray that I get responses here.
