Hi everyone,

You can dislike this post if you want but answer my question.

Today I want to ask you all a very serious & genuine question, I have been struggling on various platforms from a very long time, after 6-8 months I take pledge to do good in CP practice hell a lot, was active on codeforces, atcoder and leetcode as well.

But then I see some accounts of IGMs, LGMs (pre chatgpt era) they got that title with 15-20 contests and some even earlier.

I am a working professionals thanks to my CP/dsa but still I felt ashamed that I could never ever reach near CM/closer to that.

Please someone guide me am I wasting my time to grind in CP, or it is achievable to become GM,IGM/LGM by only practice , ready to do 5-10 problems a day with full time job but is it worth??
