feeling like i’m not cut out for coding
Posted by QuacAttack@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 5 comments
i have a cs degree and 2 years as an sde, but i still struggle with basic leetcode. i mostly rely on gpt and patching together solutions. my interview wasn’t very technical, so i keep doubting if i even deserved the role. at work i’m slower than others, and it makes me wonder if i’m meant for this career. i’m scared to switch jobs because i feel like i won’t clear real coding rounds. should i hang in or consider switching fields?

This seems off-topic for this sub-reddit. Issues of struggling with your job should be talked about with your many friends and many close family members, perhaps the many colleagues you have at work who enjoy your pleasant and sunny disposition. But there's no programming question here.

There is no such things as not cut out for coding. If you can speak, read and write English(any language for that matter), are capable of basic logical reasoning and can rearrange/organize things on a shelf, you can code

If you're hired and not fired, you're good enough. Also, if you really want to improve, code at home. Put effort in and you will be able to keep up.

If you're getting by at your job then that's that bro. As long as you're getting the work done why are you feeling guilty?
