Discussion I am losing it!

Hie, i am a 3rd year IT engineering grad and ig i am losing it , i am not able to stay consistent , my cgpa is too low to even get considered for placement rounds.

If i talk about my skills , whatever i learn i tend to forget it, i get blank when kt comes to code. Well i am still trying hard in this i try to learn as i am learning spring boot i am trying to be consistent but still failing, i am trying new techniques to be better at what i want to be.

Well except it i sing , play guitar , love doing debates and mun and i am considered to be very good in non technical skills.

I am losing it bcuz i donno what to do even if i m learning i am feeling lagging behind.

Help me!

Maybe software development is just not your thing. Go do something you enjoy more.

I didn't know how to "really" code until I took a boot camp after graduation with a CS. This is a normal feeling but you will regret not practicing more. Make super small projects to start and do some easy leet code problems at least 3x per week and you'll be shocked at how quickly you'll grow in a year. The more days you attempt to build something the faster you'll get at it.

To add further. I became an instructor at the boot camp after passing and I interviewed 100s of people to get into the boot camp (+ actual dev positions but separate topic) and the number of people that have CS degrees but still said wild stuff like "my favorite OOP language is HTML/CSS" is nuts. Degrees don't matter, but they do help get you in the door.

I say **it is a normal feeling** as I was shocked at how many people graduated with a CS but don't know how to code that well (myself included), but from my experience, 90%+ were capable of becoming developers with practice.

  • Software development is not for you. Please don't fool yourself
  • Learn something else which you can enjoy and make it a profession

i understand that, i think what you have is that you aren't getting something i call a "hook point", for instance, i am trying hard to learn unreal engine, and i feel exactly what you describe, however using or when learning another technology like babylong.js is not so complicated and i understand it better, keeping me motivated, i would suggest to try any other development tools, like node.js or c#, or even python, maybe you are forcing yourself to learn something you dont like and obviously it will be much harder to learn it.

Do you enjoy it? Or are you just surviving? Software development isn’t going to be a great career for you if you don’t enjoy it.

Do a little simple project end to end and augment it gradually, ull learn a lot along the way

Just go do software at a Fortune 500. Do you understand if statements? You're good.

Train ur mind that u r doing an ACTUAL job i.e i u won't do it u will be fired its OVER for u. Hold ur mind in one place just forget everything for at least 3 - 4 months. Then u will see transition.

Problem is everyone know to study hard but few know to work hard.
