Here are 5 problems which I feel everyone goes through during their coding journey!

1. Procrastination: We all know what needs to be done in order to crack a good internship/job offer. But despite this, we all tend to delay our coding journey which leaves us with regret later on. So, start early!

2. Demotivation & Frustration: The first couple of months are very tough for a beginner, and most of the students leave coding getting demotivated in the initial period. But, it's a normal thing, everyone goes through it, one needs to be persistent in order to succeed!

3. Struggling in Contests: If you are a beginner, trust me, the first 10-15 coding contests will be a nightmare for you. You only get better at giving contests once you have given more than 30 contests atleast, given that you don't miss a single contest on codeforces / leetcode.

4. Struggling with Implementation: Not being able to translate the logic into code. This happened with me mannier times, that the logic which I had thought in my mind, I wasn't able to code it down, the only way you can get better at it is by practicing more and more!

5. Inconsistency: If you understand the fact that remaining consistent is not a choice, it is a compulsion, you will overcome this challenge.

Follow these tips to crack any online coding round:-

1. Give a lot of contests on Leetcode and codeforces, as they resemble the same scenario to that of an actual coding round of a company.
2. Practice touch typing to increase your typing speed, it will help you when you have only few minutes left and you need to code down a solution.
3. Go through the past interview experiences on gfg, you will get an idea about what kind of questions is the company asking in coding rounds & interviews.
4. Last but not the least, practice aptitude and logical reasoning, CS fundamental subjects like OS, DBMS, and OOPS.

I have discussed all this in detail in my latest video: https://youtu.be/HAWUiWlDU8E

Dare to dream and work hard for it. If the dream comes true, well and good, if it doesn't, at least you won't have a regret for not trying!

How I learned Web Development and built a website out of it IN JUST 30 DAYS!🧑‍💻

Most of the students want to learn web development and build a project for their resume which could stand out.

If someone wants to make their resume standout, one powerful way is to have UNIQUE PROJECTS in their resume which has live users (basically adds some value to people's life).

This becomes important when it comes to resume shortlisting during internships & placements.

I have discussed all this in my recent video, where I have shared tips on how you can learn full stack development from a structured course and apply the knowledge to build a UNIQUE project.

Want a 90 day Placement / Internship Roadmap for cracking SDE role's ?

Don't worry, I have got you covered.

With my experience of solving more than 1000+ DSA problems on platforms like Codeforces, Leetcode and GeeksforGeeks, I have designed a 90 day roadmap for cracking an internship/placement offer from any tech company.

I am confident that if you follow this roadmap dedicatedly, you will be 100x more confident in your preparation, and your chances of getting selected will skyrocket.

No roadmap can guarantee you anything, roadmaps are designed to guide you and help you come out of the confusions. I can just give you a roadmap, but it's on you to follow it!

If you will follow it, you will see the results!!

Have you ever faced a confusion regarding how many easy, medium and hard questions you should be solving while practicing DSA ?

No worries, I have got you covered!

I personally solved more than 550+ problems on platforms like Leetcode and GeeksforGeeks, and I always kept in mind the ratio of easy : medium : hard problems that I am solving!

It is very important to keep track of this, because there's no point in solving only easy questions because that won't help you to crack coding rounds and interviews.

And it is also not sensible to solve excess amount of hard problems, because there are chances that you might feel demotivated and disheartened seeing the failures while trying to solve the hard problems.

So, its very very important to be aware of how many problems we are solving for each difficulty level. I have discussed this in detail in my new video.
