DSA and job switch
Wondering how much does not knowing DSA and lack of practice of LC hurt your chances of getting hired ? For context I am an sde with 1 yoe from tier 1 college been out of touch with dsa for over 1.5 yrs and I am planning on making my first job switch, I believe I know my job very well and am good at what I do better than most of the people around me but just out of touch with dsa.
I'll suggest preparing for DSA interviews like there's no tomorrow. Right now the job market is pretty tight so you wouldn't want to have any gaps in your candidature or interview performance.
Also, you should spend a ton of time on LLD software design interviews as well - class design, concurrency design, APIs, DB schemas design etc.
Spend 50% of your prep time on DSA, 40% on LLD and 10% on hiring manager interviews.
Once you're done with both these, you can explore HLD system design prep as well

Hey buddy
Why are you focusing more on LLD?
Have companies started asking more of LLD then HLD?
I am curious as I did my last switch 2 year back and that time LLD was not asked in any interview.
Has there been a drastic change in interviews?
Also, what you would suggest me for interviews at 4 YOE?
