I have named my initiative of taking career break and upskilling as “Project Zero” signifying me building up my skills right from 0
What was my focus on?
These last couple of weeks, I was fully occupied by interviews. I was approached by multiple companies for job opportunities. Even though, I don’t want to start a job immediately, declining an opportunity knocking at my door sounded foolish.
I interviewed at 4 companies, and after clearing all interviews, have got verbal offers from 3 companies. The negotiations are ongoing. Let’s see how it turns out
Due to this interview success, I am now confident on my skills, be it in DSA, technical knowledge or system design.
I struggled through some DSA questions, and GoLang concurrency primitives. I take these “struggle” as a feedback, that some improvements are needed in this area. So, my next week’s focus is going to be Golang (+concurrency) and DSA
On hobbies
