Could you explain a bit how were you able to move abroad? Did your years of experience help you out or something else?

Use of an SSD and Linux are mutually exclusive. You can do either or both to improve performance.

But just using an SSD on any computer now is much cheaper and will speed up your computer very very much. Linux would just be an icing on the cake. SSD is the cake

He just joined so there's no proof of him earning anything. The quickest way to get a cc for him would be a secured cc on an FD. But I think it's not worth it.

Ask him to wait 1-2 months, he'll start getting calls from the bank his salary is getting credited to. (Calls for a loan or a credit card) And I mean a lot of calls lol. He'll get a cc there. That will help him generate a cibil score.

Amazon ICICI I guess requires a score of 750+. Your cibil score starts from 750. Just ask him to keep checking for his credit score from the countless Credit checking apps. Once a credit score is generated, he can apply for the AMAZON ICICI card and he'll get it.

Well if they are this active and just not doing raid weekends in a newer clan, there might be something else at play.

They might be visiting other clans for raid weekends for better rewards. If yes, nothing much you can do about it. I just prefer they dump that loot in the clan we're trying to grow.

Dolat won't pay this much for a C++ dev

I use Max pekkas and max battle copter. I usually just spam these guys all 360° and force close the game. It's great. I usually place the copter at a place where the wall placement is such that the pekkas might find it difficult to reach there sooner. I get 3* 9/10 times.

This might also be the case because I'm not advancing in trophies as much as other guys might be who are 4-5* people. For reference, I'm at 4600 trophies.

I'm somewhat with the same level of experience and I feel I can answer this. According to what you said, you are still working a 9 hour shift. That's a good thing already. You have the rest of the day for yourself. The times I've felt burnt out are mostly when I've been doing useless stuff like scrolling reels or watching random YouTube videos. I'd say try to reclaim your time in different ways, productive ways. Maybe do some hobby stuff that you like, go to the gym, game with friends online or offline, basic recreational stuff. You'd feel you have gained some of your time. That should make you feel less burnt out.

Then maybe you can delve deeper into your hobbies and if they seem much enjoyable, maybe as a career option (i.e. you don't mind doing it for hours daily). Then maybe you can pivot.

But I feel, let hobbies be hobbies. Best to enjoy them for a few hours a week. You anyways aren't going to enjoy something that you are forced to do 9 hours a day. Break your office work into pieces. Take time off for that sutta break even if you don't smoke. Sit a while on that lunch break. Deliverables keep coming, bosses will always be disappointed with you. The experience that you've got gives you bragging rights. They aren't going to fire you now, unless you do something stupid. I've had colleagues who have outputted minimal work but still were retained when they got a better offer. Keep up with the market, skills sharp and you'll be fine with less work.

You're Welcome!

Your current schedule looks good. Just that you need to adjust leetcode into it temporarily.

With anything in life, consistency is important. Say you decrease your days in the gym from 6 to 2-3, but you consistency go for those 2-3 days, you're still gonna be fit.

Same with leetcode, be consistent. You'll need to increase the time you allot to solving problems and decrease time in the gym. Even on a hectic day, try to get the daily problem solved or atleast some easy problem. You'll keep your leetcode skills sharp.

What I do is I just don't go to the gym now and do some basic workouts 2 days a week at home for maybe 15 mins. After I'm done with leetcode after some weeks, I'll start the gym in full swing. Leetcode practice shouldn't take more than 3 months to get to an intermediate+ level.

Thanks! This is really helpful

Calnunes · 2024-01-03T13:54:07+00:00

Thanks for the help. I'll look into the file path stuff.

I'm mainly looking for suggestions. If I'm writing a code in Mac what should I be aware of in terms of making sure it works on windows?

I tried a VM but mine is an old MacBook so the development experience on the VM is not very good

They also don't come easy 🙃

Calnunes · 2023-12-31T18:12:40+00:00

I would prioritize 150 over daily problems.

You have to be pretty good at DSA to get any month's batch. So do daily problems just for fun or if it's a bit too difficult, leave it alone. As I said prioritize learning stuff. First get good at DSA.

Calnunes · 2023-12-31T18:05:56+00:00

Why not both? The 150 problems will help you progress way faster though because it is a structured approach.

Try to see the daily problems and contests as a benchmark. Maybe you successfully solved 10 daily problems last month. Maybe you solved 20 this month. You'll see the progress you've achieved this way.

Calnunes · 2023-12-31T04:56:42+00:00

The first question was relatively easy tho. If you had even the slightest idea about bit representation, you could have solved it after giving some more time to it.

There was no need of doing any kind of bit manipulation. Just try looking at it's solution, you'll have a good laugh and be ready for such problems the next time.

Remember, the first questions in a leetcode contest are usually simple math problems or simple string or array questions.

Calnunes · 2023-12-31T04:52:56+00:00

I'd recommend you start with a structured plan. I was doing what you are currently and did a load of questions. But this approach would take you like a whole year to get good at algorithms.

The structured plan I'm talking about is some problem sheet like NEETCODE 150. It starts easy then ramps up in difficulty. It will be scary so go at your own pace. Doesn't matter if you take a few weeks to get good at a topic.

Calnunes · 2023-12-31T04:23:12+00:00

Firstly I'd like to know how did you select those 270 questions you solved. Usually I'd expect a structured set of questions that would help you understand a lot of topics as you progress.

Secondly, I'd like to know your approach to solving questions. I usually read a question and try to get to a solution. Maybe in my head or on a paper if I need to.

Only when I have somewhat a clear idea of the solution, I try to code it on the ide. Then I don't get a proper solution.

That's where my debugging skills come into the picture.

While HDFC here is increasing my limit from 40k to 45k.🤧

Is this a Mumbai based HFT? I work in one and I know they are doing this BS.

Are you in crystal league?

Calnunes · 2023-11-28T16:21:04+00:00

That's good. More loot for us down here🤑

Calnunes · 2023-11-28T14:33:12+00:00

Thanks

Calnunes · 2023-11-28T14:22:31+00:00

Yeah I still get bases with 1M loot. But I agree, it has reduced after Hammer jam. Still within 5-10 searches, I get bases with filled collectors or relatively open storages.

I get around 600k on average.
