I know the title might seem weird. But here’s my dilemma Working as an SDE with 3 YOE in an product based company remotely. Have some developer + PM experience in a small startup before I never took DSA seriously and just learnt the basics a long time ago. I was appreciated at the startup about how I did PM work even though I wasn’t one officially. Shipped a couple of MVPs on my own as a side gig(had around 100-200 users)
I miss some big tech experience definitely. So should I grind DSA and look for big SDE switch even though I don’t like it much or move to product ( the pay might be affected) or do an MBA and then do product (for strong credentials/chances)? I feel maybe I am scared to do DSA/System design since I don’t find total interest in it.
If DSA, any suggestion on a very good course, paid/free doesn’t matter.
My final goal - build great products and learn everything about what it takes to build them. Thanks

Saw some misguided student post about PM internships. This is for anyone considering a PM internship.
DONT.
A fresher should not be going into Product Management. Focus on building hard skills first. You need an edge/alpha in your care...
