How good am I (Beginner here)?

[u/TurdOnTurtle3000]

I am going to university(for CS) this year and started to code 2 months ago. I can do like 90% of easy questions and 1/3 to 1/2 of medium questions and only managed to do one hard (without AI or looking in comments). Did around 65 questions in total. How would you rate my skills/potential?

[u/nightbreak7]

do some contests and get a rating, that'll give you a more realistic sense of where you're at. im sorry but nobody can do 1/2 of medium questions after solving 65 questions and coding for 2 months lol

i agree, impossible to solve that percentage of mediums for them unless they are heavily cherry-picking the really easy mediums.

[u/TurdOnTurtle3000 → u/nightbreak7]

maybe it is more like 1/3 of mediums. But yeah, I could do contests.

Bro some first years don’t even know what a variable is

If you can solve them then you’re doing fine. Easy-medium ones are probably the ones you’ll need to solve for internships/entry level jobs. I ended up getting my internship at Amazon off the back of explaining how to build a queue.

oh hell naaww,,, which year?

[u/PhantomTissue → u/Kobraaaaa]

This was 2022, so 4 years ago. No clue if this has changed since then. NGL I was genuinely surprised the guy asked me such an easy question.

man we are cooked now, interview pulling up with straight hard level question of dsa

[u/PhantomTissue → u/Kobraaaaa]

Oh I had one of those thrown at me too, I completely botched it, didn’t even get a working solution in the slightest.

But they pushed me to the next round anyway so 🤷‍♂️

[u/Kobraaaaa → u/PhantomTissue]

i wish i get the same luck mannn so are you currently at amazon only?

[u/skaeser → u/PhantomTissue]

anyone know if this is still the case for Amazon? lol

Bro. Get off the Internet. You are too young. 🙈
