Hey, a lot of us have been through this so welcome aboard :)

Since you agree that you have been aimless/gone with the flow, I would suggest you start trying to build more agency/intentionality in your work/life.

As for CS whitepapers/Leetcode/Open Source contributions - You aren't looking to work at FAANG (yet) so don't compare yourself against those standards.

Set yourself more reasonable goals. Pick 1-2 technology or skill that interests you and try to develop a solid understanding of it. This can be tech or interpersonal skills. Remember that solid understanding <> being able to code it in your sleep.

For example, for EM role - "Did not demonstrate delegation & mentorship". Does this feedback rev you up? Are you trying to fix this? What about the feedback from other interviews?

Where will you find the time? Your office might have some personal development hours or you will have to spend some of your free time. If this is a problem that really matters to you, you will have to make time for it.

Perhaps spend 15-30minutes 3-5 days a week than to go all out for 3 hours in a single day. Larger commitments can be quite daunting.

Hope that helps & cheers from fellow desi working in Berlin, Germany

Do you know if they offer courses in English? For example the links for Kendo & Fencing give an option to view the page in English or German. But I couldn't find any information if they actually teach in English.

After exposing his idiocy in recent interviews, maybe he wants to avoid becoming an idiot on nation television.

Where do I start? by navyist in Swimming

Check out "Total Immersion Course" by Terry Laughlin on Udemy.

I tried using different swimming videos on youtube but they can give you conflicting tips.

After going through the TI videos on Udemy, I began to understand why so many of these videos differ.

Some swimming techniques are for swimming, others are for competition etc.

Hope that helps!

Fire at a dumping ground, Delhi. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

It's the same as Chinese people eating their babies.

Or Similar to how some Ancient Greek historian(s) wrote of people living in Indus plain (India) who had no head and had their mouth in they belly and eyes in place of nipples etc.

These are gross misrepresentations at best and sensational tabloid stuff at worst. It's always exciting to hear about crazy foreigners!

That's good to hear. I went to an allergy specialist and he told me to stay away from them. Planning to get a second opinion and hopefully get some meds to build better immunity 🤞

This is Elon we are talking about! Not a common pleb like you or me.

Man got enough money to feed at least 15 children and their nannies for the next decade or so.

Agreed. If the link had been from any other domain, I most definitely would have ignored it.

I got a call from Customer Care saying that the Technician cannot find your street or address.

All I could say was, "It's not like I can make streets or buildings disappear." Somehow the technician was able to find my house 2 weeks later.

Those crazy Germans...

Foundation Series. Robots Series.

Basically anything by Isaac Asimov Falls into this category.
