Hello fellow engineers,
Is there a community/channel on Reddit or discord for android engineers helping each other out for interview preparation!?

Peer to peer android interviews.
I am unable to get a valuable (human like) feedback with these AI mock interview platforms.

Would appreciate if someone can point out to a group helping each other. Or if there are enough people who are looking for something similar, we can help each other out.

Hello fellow engineers,
Is there a community/channel on Reddit or discord for android engineers helping each other out for interview preparation!?

I wanted to ask something honestly to people who have been through long job searches or interview-preparation phases.

After 9+ years in software engineering, I find myself revisiting everything.. from fundamentals to areas I may never have used directly in my career.

DSA. System design. Framework internals. Platform concepts. New tools. New stacks.

I understand why preparation matters. But some days it feels like I am consuming and grinding through endless content just to stay relevant.

It is draining.

At times, it even makes me lose interest in the work and tech stack I have spent years building with.. not because I dislike engineering, but because the constant pressure to cover everything starts replacing curiosity with exhaustion.

For those who have gone through this phase:

How did you channelise your preparation without burning out?

How did you decide what was genuinely worth learning versus what was just interview noise?

And how did you protect your interest in engineering while still preparing seriously?

Would genuinely appreciate perspectives from people who have navigated this.
