The Software Engineer Interview-Prep Loop

Interview preparation as a software engineer:

The weekly DSA interview-preparation loop

Monday: Easy problem ✅
“I am back.”

Tuesday: Medium problem ✅
“Consistency is the key.”

Wednesday: Hard problem 💀
“Kal bina solution dekh ke solve karunga?”

Thursday:
Opens LeetCode.
Stares at yesterday’s hard problem for 20 minutes.
Closes LeetCode.

Friday:
“Ab toh weekend aa gaya… next Monday se properly start karte hain.”

Saturday: Enjoy.
Sunday: Enjoy + slight guilt.

Next Monday: Easy problem ✅
“Streak maintain karunga ab toh.”

And the loop continues until the interview invite arrives. 💀
