I had to write this from alt. 1.5 yrs back I was a decent competitive programmer. I had a non-inflated rating around 1950. I am from India. So I got a job,left competitive programming(wanted to chill in my life after few hardworking college years). Now after around 1.5 years I may have job interviews again in 4-5 months. Even when I start Leetcode , I am not able to solve medium or hard level questions(These were the same questions I would solve in a blink). What should I do to get my touch back? Did anyone else face the same problem?Should i do cp or do leetcode?

    Imposter syndrome is a bitch. If you had a short-time success, you blame blind luck, and if you were consistently good, you blame rating/community level inflation...
