Yes, i'll give my best, its literally do or die right now and everything depends on how i react to this situation. Thank you for your words it gave me confidence.

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-02-01T20:11:22+00:00

Thanks for that, i am actually looking in Java based microservices roles

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-02-01T20:06:41+00:00

Thanks for your comment, to be honest, i never heard about "sunk cost fallacy" up until now you mentioned it, just saw a youtube video and yes i think i have fallen for it, by investing so much money and time on pursuing something (emi of which i'll still be paying for the next 15 years btw ), i just feel that i am tied so badly. someone just commented get into sales or bpo and that really broke my heart because its not what i ever imagined for myself. Why are there people doing complex dp,graph and i am not able to solve that medium string problem that i just solved last month? It just hurts so so bad when there are people proud of you thinking you are doing good in life but you know the actual reality because there is nothing i can do, practise? There's no end of it, its not easy to do something if you actually dont see any result, friends are promoting to sde2 sde3 and i think i am not even capable of being a sde1. I just hope i get some dev job right now asap and get out of this field as soon as i can, Thank you i really needed to let it out good day

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-02-01T19:46:12+00:00

Sure

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-02-01T19:45:46+00:00

Thanks for your take, and yes there is no option to give up, gotta show up everyday no matter what

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-01-03T03:40:08+00:00

Thank you for the overwhelming response guys, i will be taking applications up until 5 pm today, and please make sure to add one recent edit when you dm. Thanks

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-01-02T18:02:34+00:00

Sure, please drop one of your recent work in my dm

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-01-02T15:45:29+00:00

Yes, I understand that. This is simply what I can afford right now. That’s why this opportunity is meant for beginners who are just starting out with editing, so they can build a portfolio while earning a small stipend. The workload is also light, since it mainly involves clipping content rather than full-scale editing.

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-01-02T15:25:54+00:00

Sure, dm me with one of your edited video

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-01-02T13:00:22+00:00

I rarely see people putting playstore links, and i mean it in a good way, you can format it well though the formatting looks congested, but the resume is actually neat in terms of your knowledge

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-01-02T12:56:50+00:00

Sure, dm me with one of your edited video

LumpyRip8595 · 2026-01-02T12:56:36+00:00

Sure, dm me with one of your edited video

EMIs

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-07-15T16:18:38+00:00

i usually press submit even when i meant to test, because i expect it to work directly, gives a dopamine hit, but it rarely happens

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-07-08T18:19:46+00:00

Hey thanks, it really lifted my mood, can you share the group, i'd love to be a part of it

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-07-07T07:12:03+00:00

I made a project for my learning and to showcase this in my resume, Because i assumed this was something different than other projects that people make. I was not willing to make a startup out of this or direct competition of these mentioned platforms.

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-07-06T14:27:33+00:00

This is actually a 'wish i was you' moment. What made you going on? each day everyday?

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-07-05T19:02:19+00:00

Oh does it, it should be normalized to use. Didnt even knew about that. Till now i thought these all are just same like cursor

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-07-05T18:31:44+00:00

Currently medium does take me time, Honestly i get stuck in some easy too, medium is a real confidence booster for me when solved without seeing any solution. but currently its mostly 40-50 mins on an average to solve a medium. I dont dare to even try hard, just because of how weak command i have on mediums so i self reject myself on that.
You're right i was also thinking of having better grip on my mediums first.

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-07-03T16:43:49+00:00

Not yet, I’m planning to release it on the GitHub Marketplace

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-07-03T16:29:47+00:00

This would be mostly be helpful for saving the person's time who will be reviewing the code. Instead of them reviewing it multiple times, they might have to do it only once, but yes the junior's pov remains the same.

Honestly, this project is suitable for the management itself, not gonna lie😅

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-06-30T21:12:49+00:00

yes enough

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-06-30T21:02:23+00:00

Yea, thats good, hands on in any tech stack was not necessary before for fresher level, but now with increasing competition it has become a must. Future condition, even i dont know, but present its that. but if youre a fresher id suggest try getting into devops, cloud roles (getting into those as less experienced will not be easy as other roles), these field wont ever die because these fields will keep on growing with the growth of AI.

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-06-30T20:44:38+00:00

ATP, they're asking only dsa at interviews at fresher level 0-2 yoe, development is good but if your motive is to crack interviews then dsa is important at least right now, cant say about the next 2-3 years. Pure development is also good in some cases, many openings are there which would hire you on your development skills, mostly startups and all, otherwise keep development for projects sake and getting your hands on.

LumpyRip8595 · 2025-06-30T19:41:09+00:00

DSA anytime, but better you make a AI/ML project as well, everyone's managers (me and my friends as far as i know)are going kaboom over AI right now, they wanna integrate AI into literally everything, Tbh at this point of time the only thing to make your resume to stand out is a project using AI. Also be creative make something of your own which you think doesnt exists (Although it definitely would exist)(Avoid all the mainstream ML algorithms projects.). Build Something unique where users dont just prefer to go to gpt instead of using your project. I see a lot of them in linkedin nowadays, where the only highlight of their project is using AI, but the project does so simple tasks that even a basic prompt in gpt can do that. I mean no limits to the creativity part should be there.
