Hello people on code forces , I am writing this blog from the perspective of an Engineering student . Currently I am in fifth semester ( of eight ) of my College.
As you can see from my color I still have a lot to improve in the area of CP.
I really love competitive programming and I indulge most of the time in it. I have tried my hand in other technologies like Web Development ,Data Science , Android Development , Networking but they are not my cup of tea having said that , these technologies can provide internships more easily and thus placements ( which as a student is my aim ) but I have little interest in learning them.
So few of my questions are:-
How important is it to learn these technologies and should I devote my time in learning them?
What role does internships and projects play in placements?
Is competitive programming sufficient in itself , from a job point of view? I know companies like Facebook , Google and Amazon have interviews based on cp but what is the difficulty level there?
I would be thankful to any answers or guidance.
