Anyone hiring?
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.
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.
I feel you man. Check early stage startups. Wellfound and YC are two good places to search for them. Have a good GitHub readme profile. all the best.
Thanks buddy! Wellfound is quite dry ryt now. I think this industry lacks this mindset that code contribution to a good opensource project > solving 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.
