Come on man, be happy for her!
What edits should I make so that it does not sound like I am not happy or playing a negative role?
I think either one of us took it in wrong way.
In interview luck plays a very big role

People are faking too much on Linkedin. Even the ones who got 5* by cheating on Long Challenges are putting on Resume.
I don’t know about her BTW.

people can get 3 star through cheating …5 star is difficult for them
I know of a similar case, I think she got it through amazonWOW program, which is for women only and not hard to get into as compared to the general applicants.

What’s your point?
Even Div 1 solutions were leaked. I don’t know the source.
My thoughts
- Competitive programming is no way get a job card. Being good in it just shows that you can learn and know problem solving in programming.
- You can have those skills without competitive programming as well
- Your rating does not define your skills. Its a good motivation for people like us.
- Person maybe active on other sites
- Maybe active open source contributor
- Maybe something not shown publicly because she knows someone will find some fault anyhow.
- Maybe you should comment it on post rather than creating a confusion post and defame someone.

Being good at cp is not a compulsory skill to get a job.
@praty_u_s_h You don’t know about the person back story and hard work.
Nor your post seems to congratulate her in any way.

I don’t owe you any explanation but I would still like to clarify my rating graph. The rating drops termed as “plagiarism” is not because I copied codes. I was in my initial stage of competitive programming back then and as you can see I did very basic questions. Maybe just one. That resulted in codes getting matched with a lot of people. And that is the sole reason, I stopped using Codechef, as you can see that too is visible in my graph. This happens with a lot of people, not just me.
Also, if rating was what I cared about and cheated, I wouldn’t have been a 3 star, but a 5 or 6 star instead. Lol.
The efforts taken to write this post is commendable. Wish you had put it in better places, instead of trying to defame someone.

@praty_u_s_h if you think that someone is undeserving just by his/her codechef ratings, let me tell you people siting at amazon are neither her relatives nor they are fools that they chose her and i think they know what is best for their company. So, stop wasting your time in researching and commenting over other people’s performance and try to improve yourself, who knows you might also get a chance in Amazon or somewhere better

So you think competitive programming relates exactly to employment as software engineer? I partly blame the indian cp culture for this wrong misconception. Remember that you can be successful without downplaying someone else’s success.

What made you think having a good rating is a compulsion to get a software engineering role? Let me tell you the components that you require.
- Good problem solving skills (does not necessarily mean it has to be at Codechef or Codeforces).
- Good projects (how can CC rating justify projects, I wonder)
- Good understanding of Core subjects (Well CC again does not justifies that by any way)
I can see you posting a Linkedin post at forum, I cannot see the girl writing anywhere on that post about CC rating or boasting about it anywhere, @admin is it allowed to defame someone just because someone is not being able to digest someone’s success ??
@praty_u_s_h get out of this imaginary world, where you think having good CP ratings can get you a job, it does not works that way, or neither did it ever. Grow up man, instead of judging someone on the a mere CC rating, check out this stat. The wow was a girl hiring process, but had 50k+ applications, with 2k+ clearing coding rounds which was web proctored and was held during the lock down time (just in case you jump in with some other stuff). And out of the 2k people who cleared approximately 100 girls were offered an internship, well the Amazon interviewers must have seen something, which you as a student can never Lastly start practicing that will help you out, not posting irrelevant blogs.
Fun fact: You only take part in Long and you do-not have a Codeforces account(at-least not registered with your college name or not with your same profile id/name). Whereas, this girl has been continuously participating at Codeforces from the last 1 year (total of 51 contests, that also short), and she has been constantly solving AB or ABC in contests, but she makes sure to solve C and sometimes D after the contest. I hope you get the point, practicing and getting your problem solving skills is important, and not rating, because in an interview you never get a CP problem, you get an straight forward algorithmic problem)
