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:
Is 3 months realistically enough to reach that level?
What should my daily roadmap look like?
Should I focus purely on DSA or also system design + projects?
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.
