Teaching/coaching ? But without some notable achievements like past IOI,ICPC etc I don't think many people would wanna take coaching.

PS: I really believe that someone who's master or above will easily be able to learn computer science stuff very fast. So , knowledge of computer science is not a problem.

    If you can get work experience in FAANG companies that is also good enough!

      Yeah, but to get work experience in FAANG you also need to study some other CS fields apart from CP.

I am a University drop out. I got my job completely based on competitive programming. I have a much lower rating. There are many companies, who don't care about anything else.
