i am a new grad with an expected graduation date in december this year and so far the job hunt has been excruciating and soul crushing. i m primarily targeting MLE positions and so far i only have interview invitations from TikTok and another startup. For tiktok i failed at my first interview because they wanted me to write something in pytorch style but instead i wrote it in numpy style; and now i think i am failing my second interview with another team at tiktok because they gave me a hard and i couldn't finish it in time. I just dont get it. is it only me? why am i the one always getting leetcode hard problem and implementing shitty transformer gadget that no one will give a fuck about in actual industrial setting. I am also on F1 btw, meaning that I will need to get the fuck out if I still cannot secure a job by December lol
