| >but working felt much different because work was accomplishing something while class felt like it wasn't doing anything. Thanks, this is a message I have seen repeated around here and it changed my view towards the internship. >Doing new hire interviews, I promise you that many candidates interview worse than you. I started work with very low confidence, but interviewing other candidates vastly boosted my confidence. If you can conjure up BFS/DFS on demand, you are already in the top 50% of new grads. If you can do recursive backtracking easily, you're probably in the top 10%. Dynamic programming? Probably the top 1%. Thanks for the info, as I am turning to some old Data Structures classes and that problem solving seems refreshing. >Procrastinating work -> high stress deadlines -> poor sleep -> less ability to focus -> more procrastination -> more stress is an absolutely damaging cycle, and certainly the type of thing that is worth getting external help with. This is something I feel, I am just stuck on a rather hard position where I am living in Germany (with a mediocre German level) and seeking a therapist is hard in my position, I am trying to do some tele-consultation in French. Altho I will seek IRL therapy as soon as I can. Thanks for writing the message. |
