Need help!

I am in my 5th sem of my engineering degree. Didn't start DSA neither did any development. Can anyone recommend where to start and how to start for both and any tips?

I am student in second semester of b tech , and after my b tech I want to pursue a career in finance so should i focus on dsa for next semesters or try development also .

I am currently working as a front end engineer (ReactJS) in an Indian Service based company. I have a pretty solid front end knowledge. My end goal is to be a full stack developer. So I was about to start backend engineering. But also I want to switch to a nice product based company (end goal is ofcourse MAANG type company). Currently I have 1+ years of experience. It's not like I don't enjoy DSA, I enjoyed Development over DSA. My DSA skill is very basic for now (I know arrays, hashmap, two pointers thats all) So My question is when to start DSA? Because If I start DSA now then I need to at least give 1 year to DSA. But then I will not be able to do Backend. Most people also say not to do dev and dsa in parallel. So suggest something to me. Should I do Backend first then do DSA or Should I do DSA then do dev Or should I do both at the same time?? I know I need to invest 3 to 4 hours daily if I need to be a full stack engineer with strong DSA skill. I am ready to be in discipline.

Please update your strategies , so that it will be helpful for all those preparing for interviews.

I am a full stack developer with 2.5 years of experience currently working at a global MNV. My current skill set includes java, angular, spring boot framework. I am planning for a switch. I read on the internet that to crack a MAANG or some company of that level you need to have a good understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms(DSA). How to start with DSA preparation. I see there are a lot of resources. I feel overwhelmed by seeing all of them. Are there any good structured courses which teach DSA.

Hey everyone, I am a final year B.tech student. Currently I don't have a job and to be honest I haven't done that much DSA to get a job, so its a request from you guys to help me out that is it too late to start now? I know I am responsible for this thing but I can't sit disheartened and not do anything I still have time till june untill I graduate. Can you guys help me find a path and consistency to get a job as a SDE. I have very less DSA knowledge just know the basics which isn't enough but I am now practicing and learning daily to skill up, will I be able to learn that much to get a job or internship till june. If you guys have opening in your company maybe you can give me a referral or something I have the willingness and motivation to do something and learn also I have a strong resume and internship experience in a big company.

I am a front end developer with a workex of 2.5 years. I am planning for a switch. I am not good at DSA. I have heard that to get a job at a big company you need to have a strong hold on DSA. What are some of the best resources to start DSA prep?

I’m a college grad from IIT in CSE. I haven’t done any competitive coding or any proper coding during my college days for that matter. I have lost confidence in myself for some reason. I had taken up a business job but left it in a few months because I thought I could do better. I want to do competitive coding but as soon as I open my laptop, anxiety kicks in. I need guidance on how to proceed and what recourses should I use. I don’t want to waste my degree as I feel I can do better than my previous job. Please help me on fighting my demons.

I am worrying a lot about career , my day starts with thinking about interships, skills, studies and ends with which career to pursue , startups / big MNC . All my day I am worrying.

I have plans to pursue MBA . How to stop worrying

Hey guys, just need your advice I have been 5 years of experience at startups and have open source contributions too and now I want to switch to some good product based companies including FAANG with some good WLB. I am well versed with topics but I am not very sincere with doing DSA and leetcode regularly. I haven’t practiced daily and now I am looking to do it, but I lack motivation and get frustrated easily. I am thinking to do a DSA course on weekends, will that be good? Any advice is recommended. PS: The switch is for WLB
