Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello, I have 4YOE in Java, Spring Boot, actively looking for Software Development/Backend Development roles in Bangalore. I am not good at the online assessments they take for DSA, however I am fine appearing in technical interviews and answer questions there. Please suggest.

Any companies not taking DSA online assignments?

Any companies not taking DSA online assignments?- Grapevine

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.

Anyone hiring?

I'm from tier 2-3 collage , got an internship in Chennai. P.s. i m from north india so huge culture gap and Language barrier. 
I was selected for the job role of data science engineer . but they have put me in SDE.
I have a good dsa skills, with enough experience in development in web and Multiple projects in AI/ML . They haven't considered my profile before assigning me to a team, no sh*t i want to switch this company asap. and in some other city like bangalore.. or Gurgaon. But as far as I can see.. there are no responses from the company i m applying to which is understandable. It is kind of implied that i have to spend at least a year before getting another job. 

Is there anyone who can suggest some ways to get me any Interview?

First Job Fears

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

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.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

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.

DSA Hell

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi I am a backend developer with around 4 years of experience. 

I have strong development skills in building scalable & distributed systems. I have opensource contributions in reputed projects (netflix, apache, casbin etc.). Most importantly I can take ownership of any work I get and have the capability of finishing it.

What I am not good at it is DSA. Why? Because I don’t feel like investing time there is gonna give me satisfaction. (I feel comfortable solving dsa while walking & and doing something else, not under pressure of clock in front of a guy evaluating me, my brain doesn’t work like that)

I have given up applying to companies where they ask DSA. I am LOOKING OUT for companies asking relevant questions. Or give me take-home assignment and grill me for hours, won’t mind that.

Do share if you know any. Thanks.

Any good product company hiring backend devs without DSA?

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.

Any product based companies which doesn't ask DSA questions for sde2 back end role?

I am originally from a small town and did my BSc in Computer Science. My relatives and neighbours used to say that I am a good for nothing freeloader who is a "nikamma" - unemployed. It was very hard to find a job back then and I used to have deep anxiety about it. My only dream was to get my fathers appreciation. He is my biggest hero. 

So I started preparing very hard and practiced my skills. The only one who supported me was my mother who used to give me tea even at 3 in the morning while I used to study. Even my own father gave up on me and from time to time he used to say that if you are living under my roof then you have to follow my rules. He also used to say that look at the neighbour's ladka who got a government job and he asked me to prepare for Bank PO.

So I moved out from my town and shifted to Gurgaon where I got a small PG with some money that my mother had given me. I also started freelancing on Fiverr and which led me to improve my communication skills. Finally, when I got my Google offer letter I felt like I made it. It was the best response to all the taunts by people around me. 

I suddenly became a superstar in my town with people congratulating my parents. I bought my mother gold bangles and dad a new watch with my first salary. I was looking at my offer letter today and it reminded me of all the hardwork I did to achieve this moment.

This is the story of my life. In case anyone needs help. I am ready to provide support to aspirants here as a way to give back.

Family said I am good for nothing but I finally I got an offer from Google

This is what 100% of Indian men want to achieve since their childhood. Jewellery for Mom and Watch/Car for Dad. It is an appreciation for all the hard work they put in to help us succeed in life.

Product Manager

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.

How to get better at DSA?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm 2023 btech grad, I have selected in virtusa, LTIMindtree and dxc but none of them are giving response to full time. They are just delaying the process. 
I'm worried about my future, and confused what to do, so that I land a job. 
I have knowledge of core java, sql, basic dsa(leetcode 150+) and very basic project(that  don't come in mini project category). 

What to do? ... should I prepare dsa or do backend in java? ... or just wait for the on boarding

How to stop worrying

Worrying a lot about career

I am currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Applications from GGSIPU, Delhi. Our placement session is about to start in a month. The average placement in our college is 4-5 Lakhs. I love web development and have built a few full-stack projects too. Now I am confused about what I should do. Should I improve my web development skills and apply for development roles off-campus, or should I work on DSA and focus on the campus placement? I am confused because currently.

DSA OR FULL STACK DEVELOPMENT ???

I have 6 YOE as QA. First 3 years I was into manual testing and now since past 3 years, I am an SDET with tech stack- python, pytest , playwright, selenium. I am planning for the job switch now. I have not used much of DSA in my work. However I understand DSA is a must to clear interviews. 

I need help in preparation. From where and How to start the preparation? 

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

Need help! DSA strategies!

Quality Assurance

I work in one of Big 4 companies as a front-end developer. I am currently learning the backend as my project doesn't have any FE work. There are lots of politics now in my team as compared to the previous year, i was denied a well-deserved promotion for some weird reasons, and the hike was low too. Decided to do bare minimum work now and focus on studying for switch.

Could anyone please help on how to get started on preparation for DSA and what other things to focus on to secure a product based company?

YOE -6
Skills - PHP, React JS, JAVA. Have working experience on Automation testing as well.

Switch to Product company

Frontend Engineer

Indian SDEs on LinkedIn & Twitter are some of the worst engineers you will ever find across the real world. Their typical value lies around:

- Cracking a FAANG/MAANG or Product company.
- Make an announcement on LinkedIn & Twitter and accumulating followers.
- Starting YouTube channel, Topmate links, affiliate marketing channels, and more.
- Rant DSA, System Design, Interview resources all day long. 
- Post daily of their office, their colleagues, candid shots, and barely getting any work done.

While this is expected out of early career professionals, it pains to see senior SDEs doing the same shit over and over again. Things don't end here — Everyone talks about creating a revolution. And the revolution is teaching DSA. 

If you are an experienced SDE and still ranting DSA, it just means that you have barely learnt anything that is of worth any value. You are atmost a "Ticket Engineer". You get assigned a Jira ticket, you bust your ass solving it, and that's it. That's your entire value. 

Its high time that these "Bhaiya", "Didis", "Bhabhis" stop ranting DSA and System Design over and over, and build something of real value. You would barely see any credible open-source projects coming out of India (but hey, we have some many contributors!), barely any Indie dev project, or anything that captures the attention of the world. 

Literally every popular SDE you might follow or see over your social media is the same. Their entire community game is a farce and designed to capture gullible college students and shill thousands of rupees out of them. You might be featured on Times Square ($40 ka showoff), but no one would remember you for anything that you built.

<Rant Over. Peace>

Indian SDEs will do all DSA and System Design chatter but cannot create any real value

Hey 

I joined infosys in oct - 2022 and now it’s been 1.8 months. My tech stack is MEAN stack but I was on bench through the year, recently got into a project but for only 4 months. I developed and learned by my own and gained a better knowledge on angular.
Now the situation my company has made for me that I need to switch asap, within a month or two.

Can anyone suggest me how to prep specifically so that I get offers from other company.

My DSA skills are gone and feel like I need to learn again from basics.
I have knowledge about angular.

Can anyone suggest me how much DSA I should learn and focus right now to clear interviews.
I’m planning to get a grasp over python and start doing DSA questions in that plus polishing my angular skills too. 
I have basic knowledge of node.js MongoDb too.

Will I’ll be able to switch within this time frame?

Please can anyone guide me through it so that I can plan smartly and can switch.

Your help will be really appreciated.
