So, guys i was going through the standings of Round 324 . Look at the profiles of harhil and blhoy . Both of them ranked 665 in round 324. Now , look at these data harshil's rating before contest = 1703 blhoy's rating before the contest = 1503 harshil's rating after contest = 1700 blhoy's rating after the contest = 1540 . As per this formula , blhoy will have to perform consistently for 6 or more rounds to reach a rating of 1700 ( which can only happen if he has a bit of luck apart from training hard), but on the other hand even if harshil keeps underperforming like this in all upcoming matches(which i wish not to happen) , then he will take about 50 or more matches to reach a rating of 1500 or near . I am not a mathematician , and i'm not aware of how the new formula is working , but it sounds completely unfair to me for someone who started with a bad round here . Can , you guys share your feelings about this and may be some other examples from the last few rounds .

Hello, Codeforces community.I need some guidance about career opportunities in software industry. First, let me tell you a few things about me. -> I am a Computer Science undergraduate who is interested in Competitive programming . -> Despite my interest, i am below average in CP. -> Although, i have taken about half-a-dozen courses in CSE, i don't feel like i know anything about those. I read those courses to pass the university exams but i literally have no idea about there applications(and now have almost forgot those things). -> I have read a lot that the interview for Software Engineering jobs are mostly biased towards data structures and algorithms(fortunately i love these stuffs), but i don't know how someone with only these skills can be hired and what kind of work are they expected to do. -> I am comfortable with only C++(although i had some horrible experience with java).

I desperately want to do an internship in the coming summers, and i want to learn the skills needed to get hired . Kindly, help if you can. Thanks for reading this far. :)
