Any good product company hiring backend devs without DSA?

I am a JAVA backend dev, currently in TCS with 5.5 yrs of exp. I want to switch to a Product now. My dev skills are good. I have worked in few projects. With this many years of exp, the expectations are too high now, System Design, Kafka, Jenkins, Docker and DSA on top of that. I don't know how to start, once I start preparing DSA I feel like I am missing on reading system design and other stuff. Also, I don't feel confident about my DSA skills. Are there any devs here who were very bad in DSA but are very confident now. Please share your experiences in comments. Since I already have so many years of exp, this is my last chance to switch to a good product company. Please guide.

Any company hiring without a DSA interview? Maybe a take home assignment or something like that? I do know some DSA from college time but am out of practice and have been working as a full stack dev for 3 years.

I've been interviewing for few months and every company requires leet code style questions. My DSA skills are rusty as I haven't continued preparation along side my job for last 2.5 years.

I am a backend engineer with a 9 year exp. In my fourth company now. Started with 5 lpa, now at 31 Lpa. Mostly have worked in normal companies only. I am from one of the NITs. I am not good at DSA. Everytime I have to switch a job, my resume gets shortlisted and I get call via naukri. The things is in these last 4 job searches I have been rejected 100 times. I have been rejected by almost all the companies, Service now 5-6 times, oracle 5-6 times, Walmart 2 times, goldman 3 times, jpmorgan 2 times, Amazon 4-5 times, arcesium 3-4 times, msft 2 times. Apart from these, I have been rejected by adp, celigo, phenom, barclays, flipkart etc. Every time, I want to change a job, I'll get rejected by all the big companies and then will get selected at some normal company with a hike and will join them. I am at my fourth company now, and again I am searching for a job. Have already been rejected by GS, service now, phenom, epam, ice, demandbase in last 2 months. Every time it is the same DSA. I try studying, will do decent amount of leetcode prior to interviews. Last two months I am doing leetcode from strivers sheet. But same question I'll do here, and in interview will fail. Example I have done sorted array rotation, shares sell and buy, rain water trapping, and was asked the same question in interview and couldn't solve. I also want to earn more and get into some big company and stay there for some times, what shall I do? My concerns are, I am getting lesser calls this time compared to the last few years, I can't be switching job every two years. Want to join a big company and earn more.

I was in manual testing for 2 years. Left my job. Joined scaler. Cleared some mock interviews (except DSA). I am in desperate need of a job in developer role(full or backend). I need to clear DSA and ReactJS mock interview in order to be eligible for placements at scaler. I don’t see any other option now. And talking about DSA I don’t feel confident enough. Sometimes I go blank when there is a question. I don’t know to prepare DSA smartly and fast. Kindly suggest what should I do. (I’m not that bad at DSA. It’s just I’m not confident enough). So.. I’m open to all kind of possibilities and suggestions.

I am an engineer working in Deloitte. Overall Exp 6.5yrs. My tech stack include Python, Data Science & AI-ML and GCP. I wanted to give it a try for product based company. I am not sure from where should I start? Just a little bit of guidance will really going to mean a lot to me. I come from a civil engineer background and I have reached Deloitte through lot of struggles. But I think I can reach further with some help. Need a dronacharya in this kalyug 🙂 Thanks in advance.

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

I know the title might seem weird. But here’s my dilemma Working as an SDE with 3 YOE in an product based company remotely. Have some developer + PM experience in a small startup before I never took DSA seriously and just learnt the basics a long time ago. I was appreciated at the startup about how I did PM work even though I wasn’t one officially. Shipped a couple of MVPs on my own as a side gig(had around 100-200 users) I miss some big tech experience definitely. So should I grind DSA and look for big SDE switch even though I don’t like it much or move to product ( the pay might be affected) or do an MBA and then do product (for strong credentials/chances)? I feel maybe I am scared to do DSA/System design since I don’t find total interest in it. If DSA, any suggestion on a very good course, paid/free doesn’t matter. My final goal - build great products and learn everything about what it takes to build them. Thanks

I am working as a front-end developer in a startup for 2+ years and i want to switch to a different company. The problem is I have only worked on the frontend in my current job though my designation is SDE in my offer letter. I don't have much knowledge about backend either.While applying for jobs the JD says i should have work experience in backend tech so in this case should I apply to those jobs or not.There are very few job openings for frontend and everyone is asking for full stack. Will my interviewer asks questions for backend also though I have not worked on it? Or should I only focus on DSA.I have a good knowledge on frontend. Should I just focus on frontend and DSA for my interviews? I am planning to Target FAANGM and good product start-ups Experience - 2+ Tc - 9.5(8.5 + 1 bonus)
