Hello, I am Liam, a North American student majoring in design. My career path has not been easy. I worked as a graphic designer in a traditional clothing company, but I gradually felt that the ceiling of the design field was getting lower and lower, and the stable salary was not enough to support my daily life. At the same time, my classmates around me chose to go back to their home countries because of employment difficulties, but I didn't want to give up just like that. I wanted to stay in the U.S. After all, my parents had spent so much money on training me for so many years, and I didn't want to let them down.
After all, my parents have spent so much money to raise me for so many years, and I don't want to disappoint them. And my own specialty has a foundation in HI/UX, so I should have little problem to be a front-end development engineer. So I decided to let go of my past job and start afresh as a front-end development engineer.
However, the challenge came along - although I didn't switch to a new career with zero foundation, I had no foundation in programming and algorithms, so it was difficult for me to teach myself to improve my ability. There are a lot of job search organizations and self-study platforms in the market, not to mention the complicated information and the lack of a clear direction that made me feel at a loss. Until I met Drill Insight, I enrolled in their algorithm course and TCS project course, I started from the most basic programming language, and then to do projects and submit resumes.
The first time I came across Drill Insight's algorithm course, I was really confused, and it was taught in English, so I couldn't understand if I was a little bit distracted, and my speaking improved at the end of the course. In Drill Insight's algorithm course, I gradually built up my own thinking model by practicing and brushing up problems. For example, when faced with a sorting problem requiring optimization, I was able to quickly think of using quick sort or subsumption sort and analyze the optimal time complexity. Through this kind of practice, I not only improved my algorithmic ability, but also became more comfortable in the next AT&T interview.
Complementing the algorithm class is the TCS project course. I felt that it had more depth than the other project classes, and it also supported me in explaining what I did in the AT&T interview. Compared to Toy Project, which is not compelling and memorable, Real Project faces complex requirements documents, solves real-world problems, includes design, implementation, cloud deployment and testing, real experience of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), and Domain Knowledge, so that I am not afraid of being dug into during the AT&T interview.
Drill Insight also provides mock sessions, including not only technical questions, but also BQs, which made me more comfortable in the AT&T interview, and finally I got the offer. now I've joined the workforce and started a brand new journey, I hope that the future is also smooth sailing.
