Unfortunately the fire is 1 . 5 GW markus will not be able to disregard the flames . And are the markus ' at the base of the tower . So they have access to the front door . <| sep |> I don ' t think anyone can ever get over this , read the book The Dip by Seth Godin . Great read on this exact subject , may help motivate you . Either way , there are people in even worst off positions then you and able to find a decent job in CS . Its all about persistence . There are people who are 40 years old and just graduated from a noname school able to find a job . I ' ve seen people graduate with a 2 . 0 GPA and get a job at the big 4 . Good enough is a matter of perspective , a hiring manager ' s meaning of Good enough differs from position to position , and there are many different positions requiring a specific skillattitudemind set they are looking for . So man the up and stay persistent .
