| Stage two sounds about right. There are a few red flags in what the author is telling us. > To be honest, I've always felt like our CS course was inferior. For example, I did a Computer Graphics course, but we didn't even implement line drawing algorithms. I'll be honest, it might be. Outside of a few universities I place very little value in foreign degrees. Unless someone has any experience at a credible company or a real portfolio, I won't be interested. The reason being that the signal to noise ratio is just too low. My best advice would be to come to the US and get a masters degree from a reputable University. It will help fill the gap. > I can't solve the "easy" problems on LeetCode These are aimed at first year CS students. I've seen people solve these after only completing the intro to programming class at their college. Not being able to complete those after completing a "degree", to me, is an indication that there were serious gaps in said degree. Leetcode shouldn't be very hard for anyone who completed a serious algorithm and data structure class, along with a intro to discreet math. |
Tbf: - I was towards bottom of the class for a significant chunk of the course - It's been a while since I reviewed/wrote algorithms (but having gotten a good grade in the DSA course, it raises eyebrows) - I only recently started doing LeetCode (< a week). It's getting progressively easier, and I might just be rusty. But again, it doesn't negate your point.
Now that it's been suggested twice, seeking to study in or move to the US seems like a plausible cause of action. Given my overall GPA won't be outstanding, I will be pretty limited if I am looking to join an MSc program.
