Hey Fishes,
I am a software developer with ~4 years of experience. Recently I joined a coaching for preparation of some good companies like Google Amazon etc.. It is a small coaching class where I get coaching with 6 college students.
The issue is that the teacher we are having here is very strict, he will beat us like small kids and also make us murga for mistakes... At the same time he teaches superb good. Not sure if I should continue with the tution or not.
