Hi everyone,

I’m a final-year CSE student from India, graduating on May 7.

Current situation:

- Selected at Accenture (Advanced Application Developer role)

- Offer letter not received yet, onboarding expected around August

- I have ~3 months gap before joining

My background:

- Strong in DSA for service-based companies (comfortable with easy–medium problems)

- Not yet at FAANG level (struggle with hard problems and deeper patterns)

- MERN stack developer

- Completed GenAI Engineer Associate certification (Databricks)

Goal:

I want to use these 3 months seriously and try to crack product-based companies / FAANG-level roles.

What I need help with:

  1. Is 3 months realistically enough to reach that level?

  2. What should my daily roadmap look like?

  3. Should I focus purely on DSA or also system design + projects?

  4. What mistakes should I avoid during this phase?

I’m ready to put in 8–10 hours daily if needed.

Looking for honest advice (not sugar-coated).

Thanks in advance.
