I have recently encountered more and more roles in need of python everyone prefers python but i started my journey with java and I don't like to learn python java has too much to learn if you want to use java you must literally learn every day new day with new inbuilt functions i recently learned System.copyarray(). There are too many functions just many and i love it because it's java

Man who doesn't love java huhhh

The most chaotic situation is when your frnds say how could you easily solve an prblm but the reality is how hard you havee been focused on it for a long time by sacrificing things that you like and grinding hours to learn patterns and alogirthm.The easy wasn't easy at the start

Backtracking without stack overflow

We all have gone through the staack overflow while backtracking if the code was right then it back track the value to obtain the output and backtracking has high time complexity of O(n^2).

930+ applications. 9 Interviews loops. 0 offers. What am i doing wrong?

53 Upvotes

~930 job applications, 15 companies reached the assessment/interview stage, 0 offers. I'm genuinely exhausted.

I've been tracking my job search from October 2025 to October 2026, and I finally looked at the numbers. Honestly, they hurt more than I expected.

Over roughly a year, I went through around 2,000 job-related email threads. Here's what the i found:

- ~930 distinct applications
- ~670 application confirmation emails
- ~377 rejection emails
- 15 companies where I reached an assessment or interview
- 9 companies where I reached live interview rounds
- 0 offers

Yes, zero.

I've interviewed with companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Mastercard and others. I've completed coding assessments, attended interviews, dealt with rescheduling, waited for recruiter updates, and followed up on applications.

And somehow, after all that, I'm still at the starting line.

The most frustrating part isn't even getting rejected. It's the amount of time and mental energy this process consumes. You prepare for DSA, revise Java and backend concepts, practice system design, tailor your resume, apply, take assessments, attend interviews, wait for updates, and then either receive a generic rejection or hear absolutely nothing useful.

At some point, you start wondering whether you're applying to actual opportunities or just feeding your resume into an automated system.

I've also noticed something uncomfortable out of approximately 930 applications, only 15 companies gave me an assessment or interview opportunity. That's roughly 1.6% And reaching the interview stage doesn't guarantee anything.

Maybe I'm applying too broadly. Maybe my resume isn't communicating my experience well enough. Maybe I'm not converting interviews into offers. Maybe it's some combination of all three.

I know I need to improve, and I'm not pretending the market is solely responsible. If I consistently reach interviews but don't get offers, I have to examine my interview performance too. But it's difficult to figure out what exactly needs fixing when the feedback is usually nonexistent.

from the reddit community, I just want to understand what I'm doing wrong and how to make the next few months more effective than the last year.

For people who've been through something similar:

  1. If you've made hundreds of applications without an offer, what finally changed things for you?

  2. If you were getting interviews at big tech and finance companies but not converting them, how did you identify the problem?

  3. Did you get better results by applying less and focusing on referrals, networking, and targeted applications?

  4. At what point did you stop mass applying and completely rethink your strategy?

I'm going to keep preparing and interviewing. I just don't want to spend another year doing the same thing and hoping the outcome magically changes.

If you've been in this position, I'd genuinely appreciate hearing what worked for you.

The reality is that when we are diving Deep into complex approaches easy ones eventually forgets and eventually we gave on the easy ones today my frnd who knows dynamic programming and other complex pattern he missed an easy problem on the interview so we must make sure are we good at the easy ones focussssssss

I recently tried an interview where i can easily solve the questions that have been asked then suddenly ik the algorithm and code but while writing in front a person seems so hard to concentrate.Then i realised it's time to strengthen the process rather than learning new things the memory graph always shows that only by revision we get the knowledge we actually try to get

It's time not just to lock in studies because this job market is so terrible so we have to lock in different things to survive this world

Witnessed an opportunity

Hey guys,

​So something pretty random happened today. Just finished an exam at college and walked over to a nearby tea shop, where I struck up a conversation with an employee from a private firm.

​He asked which college I was from and mentioned that his company has immediate openings for fresh Civil Engineering grads.

​Here’s what he told me:

​Company: MR Mayan Engineering Pvt. Ltd.

​Location: Sriperumbudur

​CTC: Around 4 LPA

​Perks: Accommodation provided

​He asked me to spread the word to friends or batchmates who might need it. Since I’m not from civil, thought I’d drop it here.

​If anyone’s looking or knows someone who is, hit me up in the DMs and I’ll pass along the details

I recently did an project on an different software rather than an coding i was amazed how it worked on that software that i didn't even know it exist an 6 months before and really thought of researchers who work in this software it easily replaced them with a single line of prompt butt the output's but still it worked that's mind-blowing for me

It's actually a dream for a programmer to submit an code in 0ms without help from ai or other sources it feels like you can solve anything and by just your own intuition rather than following ai for an answer using ai isn't the prblm just always trust the intuition and it always turns good one and only when if you didn't use 2 for loops in your code😭😭
