Should I stay or switch?
So I(~3yoe java dev) recently made my first switch to a product based company. The work used to be good, has good wlb and chill time and flexible timings and wfo. The thing is I'm not getting any PBC vibes. All people in my team/company are from service based only(not judging them as it's inc. me), no super serious work/production bugs/oncall(i don't want to work in such pressure but atleast want to know how people handle it), no similar mindset people, no girls to talk to(yes it's a major issue for me, as I didn't have any female friends to talk to, let alone love) So it's a big concern for me, to build some connection with someone, and even worse thing I got changed to new team, they aren't even assigning proper work and I've been having sooo much free time since past 2 weeks. I've lost motivation to do anything,for many other reasons in life. Ik this is a dream job for many,inc me but now I'm in this i just couldn't get enough of it, please suggest what to do. TIA

Interview Preparation Tips

Professional and academic backgroundI applied for the job as SDE - 1 in HyderabadEligibility criteriaAbove 7 CGPAVirtusa interview preparation:Topics to prepare for the interview - Linked List, Binary Search Tree ,Queue, Array ,DP ,Graph ,RecursionTime required to prepare for the interview - 3 MonthsInterview preparation tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Competitive programming plays a major role when you are appearing for coding rounds as a fresher. In the coding rounds, you won't get direct problems copied from Geeksforgeeks or Leetcode. You would be required to use your logical thinking to go ahead in the process. This is where competitive programming helps.

Tip 2 : Coding rounds are all about Coding + Timing. Most people fail to excel due to the pressure of a timer ticking on your head. So, instead of just solving problems, try to participate in timed contests. This will help you be used to the pressure of the timer.

Tip 3 : Many big companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and even Google expect you to be good at standard problems. So, once you are done with coding round by your logical skills and competitive programming, you must be well versed with some standard problems in order to excel.

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Make it short, crisp, and simple. It is always good to have a 1 pager resume. 
Tip 2 : Resume must comprise of the following: Educational Qualifications, Technical skills, Projects, Work experience (if any), Achievements. Other than this, you may include some extra co-curricular achievements.

After all these question he again looked at my resume and asked me 'why your CGPA is low?' I said that when i was in my first year i had interest in electronics but later when i encountered with programming i decided to have my career in this field so i could not concentrate on my core subjects.
