My chances?

what are my chances of landing a job (considering i have gotten decent-ish projects on my resume) Have only done the below topics:

  1. Arrays/Strings
  2. Hashmaps
  3. Linkedlists
  4. Stacks / Queues
  5. Recursion and other basic algorithms. (ps me noob, hence the number of question for grip and confidence)

You can solve all the problems on LC and still fail the interview.

Good communication and getting the interviewer to help you solve the problem would be better 💁🏻‍♂️

@Dhoni fair but like on a general level. will these topics suffice for entry level. and considering the communication skills, i have given few mocks, and have gotten fairly positive response about it. thanks for the input thala sir

My friends have around 500+ LC questions with internships as well yet not able to get a decent placement.

@corporate_pawn is that because of job market or they got lucky during the intern period?

That just means getting a job depends on multiple factors. Even if you really want to see your chances share your resume instead of LC questions because that's what the interviewer will see.

Getting a chance to interview, projects and how you communicate are other major factors. DSA is an entry ticket and you'll probably be fine with that round. Referrals help with the first part

yes been applying rigorously, applied to over 130 places as of now, 0 interviews given. But have been applying directly on career sites and they are very well renowned organizations. Maybe i need to start asking for referrals. Thanks for input:))

Oh good luck. Try asking referrals from your college alumni; more chance of conversion

You should pass about 25% of the DSA rounds you give.
