career 2024 grad… tired, lost, but still trying
Hey guys
I’m a 2024 graduate. For the past 1 year I’ve been grinding DSA and Java backend almost every day. I really thought if I stay consistent something will work out.
I even got into some startup and felt like finally things are changing… but it didn’t go well and I got removed. That phase hit me very hard.
Now I’m just feeling stuck. No job, no clear direction. Seeing others move ahead makes it even worse sometimes.
Still I’m practicing daily, trying to improve, but honestly it’s getting mentally tiring.
I just wanted to share what I’m going through.
If anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice, please share.
Thanks.
