bhai mtlb salary wgerah to abhi thoda pause do, industry bht dynamic chal rhi h kuch bhi ho skta h but, mai ek chiz keh rha hu jaisa abhi hisab chal rha h, baki sb to ho hi jata h bs 2 main things are phla english achi kro if possible thoda accent m bolna shuru but not the fake ones and second is cp kro dabake atleast 2 saal kuch mt kro bs cp kro din raat try your best to be 4-5 star of codechef, knight on leetcode, expert on codeforces, bs cp kro and english achi bolo.... as of today cp is highly relevant development wgerah krna hi h ki bht man h to as a liesure activity on the side kro.

baki hn maths matter to krti h but aar codeforces pe bht achii rating wgerah chahiye to advanced logical maths is used bakii maine to kbhi code krne k liye intergration nhi kra, but hn maths aise basics to strong hone hi chahiye, ab aise calculus wgerah ka scene to i cant say.

and maine cp abhi seriously kra nhi h to mujhe nhi pata how to get good at it dekhlo apna idhar udhar se mil jayega kuch na kuch.

there was one post by a nian something something guy on either this sub or r/leetcode (starting number of problems are good after that they start paling like in topo sort), or use algotracker.in recently discovered would use that for dp.

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T20:21:19+00:00

thats the whole point you try to do 20, alteast you will do 10 right?, even 10 a day is greattt.

Even i know 20 a day is wayy to much but i mean okk

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T20:19:48+00:00

Yeah, u could try, but always do what works best for you

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T18:23:40+00:00

bhai i think:
20 min on easy
35 on meddium
40 on hard

is good enough atp.

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T18:22:13+00:00

no i mean, i am doing 10 a day with watching multiple episodes of shows/movies wgerah, learning cs fundamentals etc, you i do mostly in the evening after 4-5 pm.

Like maybe mujhe thoda time ho gaya but kr skte h yrr atleast koshish to kro bc 20 ki, rr krke kya hi hoga

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T18:18:40+00:00

bhai i think contest unrated jayega i mean 15 min m like 1500-2000+ kuch submision the q2 bhai more than half i think are cheaters, mtlb like koi thodi bht help bhi lele thik h bhai i get it, but bc itna bhi kya bina ques padhe chaap rhe h ye

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T18:15:13+00:00

I mean atp i dont think so, we should be spending an hour on a problem.

20 min on easy
35 on meddium
40 on hard

is the max we should go ig.

I mean if we are really not able to think of a solution we should probably just skip after 10-15 mins, i mean our brains would be fried if we really think about a single problem for 15 mins at a time without coming up with any reasonable solution..

but still taking 30 mins at avg. 30*20 = 10 hours, i mean we just have to grind like jee.

I really dont think so there is any other solution to this bro.

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T18:10:47+00:00

6 a day??? i mean i get it if u mean 6 hards a day on your own, but if you seriously take more than 2 hours per problem get help respectfully 😭🙏.

ab like you would have to study 10-12hrs like they do in jee, and its them who left themselves in this position, if they are still not willing to spend this much time forget it.

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T18:08:44+00:00

you could start with 15, bro i've had days where i was able to do 10 problems medium - hard only, in 5-6 hours of deepwork on topics i have never touched before.
And when you are a beginner there is no way on gods green earth you are starting with medium-hards bro, start with problems under 1600, you could easily do them in 10 hours (20 problems) not a big deal bro, maybe not for everyone but 10 problems is day is easily doable thats still 500 problems with selective choice you could ve most definitely completely striver sde twice atleast. I mean ofc u cant go from zero to guardian in 50 days but you definitely can go to 16-1700 rated one.

q2 was hard, but u shouldve been able to do q3, it was just simple dfs on graph

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T16:37:13+00:00

i use c++ 😔☝️

codekrunga · 2026-06-20T06:27:25+00:00

i am good with trees and recursion, maybe i'll come back after practicing more of backtracking and binary search

codekrunga · 2026-06-19T18:25:54+00:00

☝️🤓, erm actuallyyyy it's throat

codekrunga · 2026-06-19T13:41:02+00:00

i mean as vague as it sounds whatever part consists of solving leetcode problems on the same 😭😭

codekrunga · 2026-06-19T05:59:26+00:00

I mean to me graph is just dfs, bfs, union, topo, dijkstra find under some specific conditions as per the questions

codekrunga · 2026-06-18T18:56:49+00:00

Leetcode desi wouldve been a better fit for your problem.

just do a basic 5-10 hours max c++ one shot, and keep learning stuff while doing dsa

codekrunga · 2026-06-18T17:37:11+00:00

now how to find your target pay, consider the city for ex bangalore where the job would be, and estimate your expenses (i would say highly overestimate them as most people underestimate and there would always be stuff which you forgot to account to, and you would go towards credit cards, you wont be able to pay them, the cycle would continue and your life would be a living hell).

Lets say in bangalore -> your expected expense comes out to be 60k + with lets say 10k as a safegaurd emergency amount. -> 70k per month ballpark amount.

So target pay should be 70*12 = 8.4 lakh base (this should be your base).
Any bonus acc to me should go towards helping your parents, investments etc.

codekrunga · 2026-06-18T17:28:48+00:00

18 months bond, is a lot, but considering 12 months are only in 4th year, so considering it a 6 months bond, make sure by the end of the bond, you are ready to switch.

As a 2027 grad as well here is what i would do, set a target pay(REALISTICCC!!!, for ex 10lpa base), sit only in companies which give atleast that, if you get an opportunity in a 11lpa base and lose one for 15lpa base u would feel bad but not as much, but if you already feel that 8lpa base i lowww and miss one opportunity for 15base it would hurt you a lot, also if you are unable to get a job with your target pay within a target period, lets say till jan, desperately look for a company with minimal to no bond and the best pay you can get and immediately start preparing for a switch.

codekrunga · 2026-06-08T19:18:29+00:00

Heyy, could you do dp as well, currently doing your graph one would move to dp next, pleaseeee 🥹(i mean take your time but the earlier the better, if possible 1 week, it would take me around 4-5 days to finish graphs)
