DSA

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

Don't worry, I too was once a noob. Start with Leetcode's daily challenge and maintain the streak. Give yourselves 45 minutes of time to think on your own. If still you couldn't do, look at the first hint. Look at next hint after 10 minutes. If you still cannot do it, look at a solution and finish. But add this to a spreadsheet and revisit it exactly after a week on weekends. It takes time, but you'll grasp it sooner.

You may try this approach

Choose a genre of question Let's say Strings
Practice that section in geeks for geeks
While you go through that section in geeks for geeks ( be lenient here you may see the solution but you should code it up)
Once you have spent some time with this section in geeks for geeks. Let's stay you browsed about 30-35 question
Go back to leet code
Apply filter for your genre (ie Strings)
Start solving easy problems
If you start solving easy in 1hr
Get started with medium
If 7,8,9 do not work Repeat 4 with more coverage
