2024 is full of up's and down in my life, it feel very weird and strange but it's good, it's challenging and the more important thing is I improved a lot.
So here are my top failures of 2024:
● Got an interview call from Google for SDE-2 position, but the recruiter ghosted me and never get back.🕵️♂️❌
● Applied to ML research programs at universities in some parts of Asia, but no professor replied. However, one Indian professor explained why I didn’t get a response (an interesting story—will share later!). 📚🤔
● Applied for the MEXT scholarship this year, but as usual, I wasn’t selected. 🎓💔
● A U.S.-based model and founder loved my project and wanted to hire me, but due to poor internet in my village (due to poor internet I missed lot's of golden opportunities), she had to decline. 🏡📡
● Applied to a Singapore-based company for an SDE role with relocation support. My resume was selected, and I passed the initial test, but I didn’t clear their interview because I’m not strong enough in DSA. 🧑💻⚙️
● Worked on an initiative, but it’s not completed yet. 🚧🕐
● A company/owner offered me a great amount for my skills, saying they’d get back to me. When they finally did, they completely disagreed with their earlier offer and claimed they never said such things. He literally said : maybe I made delusional scenarios in my head? 😵💫🤷♂️
These things were truly demotivating in 2024, but it’s okay. Maybe those opportunities weren’t meant for me, or I simply didn’t work hard enough to qualify. However, they taught me valuable lessons and gave me a solid to-do list for 2025. 💪✨
And hey, let’s not forget—good things are on their way in 2025! 🚀🌟

After reading this , I feel demotivated that I haven't reached till that yet !!
Don't feel disheartened, everyone has different journey. Actually this blog is not like my normal blogs and it may sound very sad but now I didn't think it as sad because it really helped me to grow.
Don't give up bro. Tomorrow will be better.
Ahh !!
I am not giving up! It's part of life, and I enjoyed this as well.
If everything good happens, then it doesn't make us strong
Go for it champ. Did you upgrade your DSA skills?
