DSA resources?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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?

Best sources for DSA

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.

Software Engineer

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

Advice Needed For DSA Course

I really want to start my DSA journey, is there any suggestions for courses ? 
I have watched some famous ytubers DSA videos and they are great, but is there any course or some source where I can learn more easily and understandable.

DSA Please

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.

Confused about how to proceed in life

I'm new to DSA world and want to start preparing for the same. I'm holding 7.5 yrs of exp into automation QA and want to join MAANG. Any resources from where I can start the preparation from and what all is required apart from DSA?

Hi guys, I have been into development for almost 5+ yrs but had never been into DSA Preparation. As after such time I have been trying to learn DSa thoroughly but the topics seems very difficult some time or I forgot things had to visit again and again. These things making it very difficult to maintain consistency and regularity in learning. At times it feels to leave the thought of applying at faang. Have any solutions or similar issues?.

Its been difficult to stay on track for DSA!!

Android Engineer

I graduated in 2023 and currently I am working as a back-end developer (node js)  in iot based start-up. My CTC is 5.8 Lpa and it is a WFH job.

I have some free time in a day and want to prepare for the product based company. I couldn't figure out what I should start with?
Should I grind leetcode or codeforces? 

Apart from this, what additional things should I prepare for product based companies?
Any resources I should go through?

My target is to switch in the next 6 months with some decent pay.

DSA vs CP

Backend Engineer

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'm a backend engineer with 6+ YoE.

I have never had interest in solving DSA problems. I started off as being very bad at it- I did understand the technical details behind various data structures and algorithms, but never had that passion about applying it to various leetcode problems. Over time, I have got better with DSA, but I still can't say I am at a great level- I still often struggle with Leetcode-medium problems.

I am confident of being a decent engineer- with a nice mix of tech and soft skills and an interest in building things. I also have some aspiration of joining a Faang company (or other such top-level company); but I feel overwhelmed at how "good" it requires you to be in DSA.

So, I wish to know- how good do I need to be at DSA before I can realistically apply at such companies, given my YoE. And, how may I possibly gauge how far away I still am from that "required level"?

How much DSA preparation is enough?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Folks I have been working as a MLE and it make sense for any org to filter candidates based on DSA 


But I am too bad at solving them on time and now I want to take it seriously. 

Can you share any plan or ideas? I know Blind75 and other playlist but my goal is not to rote learn.

Share your thoughts

Need a DSA plan for an ML folk! (How to cover everything in 2 months)

I joined the company in Dec of 2021 and since then I have been completing udemy courses and company wide seminars and everything except work.

I got into a project around June and till now I haven't done any work at all. When I ask the manager about this he always says the profile has been sent to the client, they will let us know about work and stuff like that. Towards December he just saw my messages and didn't even reply back.

I was off-boarded from the so-called project a while ago and when I asked about this he says I'll be shifted to another project. "P2P movement" idk what it is.

In summary: on paper I have 1 year experience but I don't have any knowledge about work and I'm functioning like I'm still a fresher. I don't think I can quit as I'm on a two year bond.

I got this job when I was in very desperate times and I'm very grateful for it and the salary I'm getting but I'm still at a place where I can't tell anyone what work I did in 1 whole year in a company. Maybe I can prepare for some competitive exams or prepare for another job, but tbh I don't know anything about anything. 

My friends tell me to chill out since I'm getting paid for doing nothing but I don't feel that, I feel I'm stagnated to a point where I can't see where I'm going to end up in my career. I don't even know if I'm an experienced working professional or still a fresher.

I haven't got any proper work since a year now

Hello Guys , I’m getting to many calls and messages from Scaler and coding ninjas. They are asking to pay nearby 2 lakhs fees for placements in Product based companies.

Is it worth enough to pay 💰 them ?? Should I join ?

Scaler , coding ninjas calls !!

As a Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience, can you guys please guide me on preparation for DSA. Consider my current knowledge about DSA 0.

How should I start?
Approx how much time it will take?
How should I know what topics are more frequently asked at my level?
Any DSA plan for 0 to hero in DSA?

Apart from DSA I’m also preparing for HLD and LLD and I’d love to have recommendations from you folks about how to prepare these and where to prepare these from?

Also, if I’m missing something in my prep do let me know

DSA prep for interview

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I want to become like Life Jacket even if I get layedoff I would still get job and survive 
Please help. I know basic of DSA but I never get confidence. Please put some non distracting resources that I should use to master it or at least gain some confidence. My futures kids are dependent on this 🙏

Where should I study DSA from?

I'm a 2021 graduate. I left my first job at a small startup in Bangalore in January because they refused to pay my salary and my hike for 3 months (promotion was done but just on paper, they were paying the old salary). 

I'm not good at DSA at all even though I handled multiple projects related to security and development tools using Go and have a good understanding about the language. But I'm not good at DSA at all, I don't have a leetcode account or solved any DSA problems yet. 

If I want to get a job I have to start DSA from scratch which will take a minimum of 4-6 months. Which makes me unemployed for 1 year. 

I'm scared whether this is a red flag in the recruiters point of view. And create a situation where recruiters intentionally try to hire me for less salary.

What should I do? Should I leave my current domain and switch to other technical jobs that may not require DSA during interviews or spend time to learn enough DSA to clear interviews? 

If there's any way to get some guidance from senior engineers or people who had similar issues like this in the past, please let me know.
