Happened to me too. I've found a job in 2 weeks. Take some time to rest and build your energy up again and you'll be just fine.

In my mediocre Midwestern city wages are stupid-high (for the area—they've gone up like 20+% in the last two years) and anyone who sounds like they have half a clue and isn't sitting there with 3-5 years of clearly-mediocre experience saying they're looking for "leadership opportunities" (HARD PASS) are getting snapped up as soon as they hit the market. Source: have been on both sides of the table recently. In the worst case, OP will not starve.

Man! And here I am after 8 months failing to invert a Binary Search Tree or validating a Binary search Tree without much luck. Time to hit leetcode I think.

[tudelo]

Not sure how you could go 8 months and fail problems like that. Maybe after a month or two you should have focused a bit more on what the interviews are looking for...

[dominotw]

Yeah hit leetcode nonstop. No way around it, no matter how much you hate it, no matter how much u think its stupid.

You should be able to land something fairly quickly after leetcodeLyfe. good luck.

I don't get it, I never had to do any leetcode to find positions and receive offers. Why are people recommending this like it's gospel?

[lawnchair_larry]

The new generation are frankly idiotic in how they do tech interviews, which were already not great. Google and Facebook made this situation much worse. It has become a meme.

Leetcode simulates how several first-round tech screens go.

[samfisher83]

You have to whiteboard on the interview too. Its not just the tech screens.

[dajohnson89]

I must have surpressed those awful memories.

posted it based on what GP posted about binary trees.
