I recently struggled in my second technical interview and I'm on the hunt for an online study group that focuses on Java topics. Ideally, I want to cover areas like Core Java, Spring, SQL, and other backend subjects to improve my skills and boost my confidence for future interviews.

It's totally normal to feel disappointed after an interview! Focus on the topics you missed; identify your gaps in knowledge. Admitting what you don’t know is crucial—it's better than trying to fake it, which can backfire.
How are you currently tackling your learning? Back in '99, I worked my way through both volumes of 'Core Java' by typing out examples. It really helped me understand the material. Getting hands-on is key!
You need to laugh it off! But seriously, have you thought about doing some affordable courses on platforms like Udemy? They often have discounts, and there are even free ones like the Spring and Hibernate tutorial I found.
I just started reading a book and working on a personal project so I can actually apply what I’m learning—it's been really helpful!
