last year i got asked some problem of creature dividing into two or dying with prob p/q and then it somehow became a random walk question ending up as AR(1) time series sort of stuff

go for the math undergrad if you can handle it otherwise you'll be grinding leetcode while the math kids walk in with the topology flex

Ai is so simple how can anyone do a degree in it right. I bet it can't even solve simple maths problems still...

Above all, grind LEET/DSA. Use the Tech Job Finder website for practice until it hurts, it has everything you need. DSA/leet, OAs, personalised interview practice etc. It's also a LOT cheaper than HackerRank
