I hope I did not come off harsh as much as wanting to be authentic to the people who ask for help. Right now in the industry its very polarized on how to get a job, meaning anyone can do it if they just learn the hard things they need to learn. Either you do projects that you explain well that are somewhat advanced, or you do algo problem solving. There really isn't any in between no matter what anyone tells you. if you get good at one or the other, you will eventually get a job.
