** Hello Everyone from India **

I am from top ** iit **(but no body cares). - I have devoted my 2 years of undergraduate for cp - doing ok in it high expert and 5 * on chef

  • I kept wrong hopes as all indian keep
  • ** CP gives JOB **
  • [answer] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO**
  • just because I have no web dev knowledge makes me unfit for internships "wahho"
  • my dumb friends have got tones of internships and they have money to buy food without their parent money. And what I am doing "typing on keyboard day and night to get AC on problems"

  • Now a days I don't feel like doing cp as it has never given me something except frustration.

  • Now I have no time left to do web dev or any things.
  • I really don't blame to cp. It is a common myth in india.

**Tip for junior **

  • Never hope that cp will give you jobs "even in iit's
  • I paid 3 lakhs per year just to jump from Buildings
  • Now I look other spending their time chilling and what idiot I am
  • I have became a fool all together.

-

let's end this

-If anyone has doubts or suggestion please comment -

You learnt to learn and learnt to problem solve. Web development is relatively easy in comparison. You'll be able to learn it much faster than those who only learnt that and then you'll surpass them in no time.

I think almost everyone in India who was too devoted to CP and expected something out of it without putting time anywhere else ended up in a similar situation (including me). For a while, I did share similar sentiments but to be honest I never did CP really for jobs. (It was a nice side benefit to have companies ask us in online assessments but I think CP is just like a challenging game to me. (even though it gets stressful at times)

To put some weight on my point I actually play a game called osu! even during college (which has a huge skill curve too and while it's very challenging just like CP I play it for similar reasons.) I could have invested that time into improving my web development for sure.

What I mean to say is all challenging tasks are fun in a way and you shouldn't feel bad about doing CP. (maybe it was a mistake to devote too much time to it and yes you could have put your time into doing 'industry relevant' stuff but why do you think you can't come out of this peril. You made it to expert and 5 stars, they are not insignificant accomplishments. Just steel yourselves and fight your way out and you will get somewhere for sure.

Sorry for the slight motivation rant in the end but I can relate to the blog too. Also don't consider dev to be a burden, I know it's pretty ironic considering my profile but if you put in sufficient time you will find it to be equally fun and challenging in its own way.
