Hey Codeforces community!

I hope this post finds you all in good spirits. I am XYZ, a final year student from IIT, and I find myself at a crossroads in my coding journey. Having covered the basics of programming and delved into data structures up to graphs, I've encountered a roadblock after solving around 100 standard problems. Despite my efforts, I couldn't secure a placement in campus company tests, leaving me with a renewed determination to learn and improve on my own.

Embarking on a new coding journey, I've chosen to start afresh with a new account, leaving behind my previous 1400 rating. However, I encounter a familiar obstacle—a disconnection from coding after a month-long break, but I am determined to surmount this setback. I am seeking valuable insights and shared wisdom on overcoming challenges and achieving coding excellence.

I am eager to hear from fellow enthusiasts who have faced similar situations or have valuable insights on the right way to reboot one's coding journey. What resources, strategies, or projects helped you bridge the gap and elevate your coding skills? How did you stay motivated and connected with coding after a break? Your experiences and advice would mean the world to me.

I appreciate your time and wisdom in advance.

Happy coding!

XYZ
