Things t o learn in dsa for preparation

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

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.

Hi, I'm a software engineer with close to 6 YOE. This is my second company and I feel pretty stagnant here working for 3 years and see no growth. I've started preparing. Is DSA still being asked in the interviews even for people with experience ? How many rounds are there usually and what is being tested? Your advice would be very much appreciated :)

"Hello everyone! I'm looking for a mentor who can guide me in my journey to learn Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). My goal is to land a job at a product-based company, and I believe having a strong foundation in DSA is crucial for success. If you're experienced in DSA and have knowledge of the industry, I would love to learn from you. Please DM me or message here in comments if you're willing to mentor me and help me achieve my goals. Specifically, I'm looking for guidance on: - Creating a study plan for DSA - Practicing problems and reviewing concepts - Preparing for technical interviews - Learning about the industry and product-based companies Thank you in advance for your time and consideration! I'm excited to learn and grow with your guidance."

I am trying to switch to a Data engineering role in a product based company. Please suggest some great practices and strategies to learn DSA with python and SQL to crack interviews at product based companies. I have experience working in AWS data orchestration where I worked on step function creation, Glue, lambda, event bridge. Also used version control like GitHub. Please suggest a way to crack interviews at product based companies for data engineering roles.

Any DSA solvers? First time solving DSA and preparing myself to switch to better product based companies for higher package. My question is: When I solve LeetCode, I am able to understand the question, come up with initial approach too but without looking into solution or explanation I am unable to solve it completely!😢 while watching a Youtube videos I am perfectly able to understand and solve the problem but when I solve a problem alone(without any resource) or live solve in mock interviews, I am stuck.. Anyone's gone thru the same phase, how to uplift myself from here? TIA

Hey community I'm preparing for a Google interview as a SDE 3 for the Android team. I'd like to know which Data Structures and Algorithms topics are crucial for interviews at Google, especially in the Android domain. If anyone has experience with similar interviews, please share insights on the key DSA topics and Android-related areas that were important. TIA

Hey everyone! I'm gearing up for some coding interviews and need to brush up on Data Structures and Algorithms. Can anyone recommend some good online resources? Thanks in advance!

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.

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"?
