Everyone needs a working code in the first attempt and that two proper and optimised.
But DSA round I believe comes with luck based factor. You need to be lucky enough to get a question which you have done or seen before.
Or have yourself updated with each structure and almost every type of problem.
Fucked up and interview today.
Haters gonna hate ,but one who can do DSA can do other parts of the job pretty easily
😂😂 there are many who can’t do anything outside of the DSA bubble, they don’t understand computer fundamentals? UDP TCP? They have no idea what all these are!
It is about the ability to do things. You think one who solves 1600-1800 cf problems can't understand TCP,UDP when they study it.
Start looking for patterns. If you learn DSA with patterns, like two pointer, slow and fast pointers, sliding window, 0/1 knapsack, coin change, largest common subsequence, merge intervals, two heaps, depth first search, breadth first search, etc., then it'll become easier to solve questions. Use ChatGPT to your advantage here, it can come up with good ways to spot a pattern.
Mere se aaj DP ka question poocha.
I was correct formula wise and approach wise, but maine non dp se kaafi alag pseudo code likha.
As long as it works, it should be fine. There are some problems which work with a dp approach, but you can solve them better using sliding window technique for example. What is this question any?
It's all luck I tell you. I have given 6 interviews in the past 1.5months. DSA round is just pure luck.
@iuc abhi kaun sa sde h tu Amazon me, sde 2? Aur CTC batana?
I got burned in Uber. DSA round 2 was shit. I claim the question was incorrect. The Design coding was good. I passionately hate it like I hated memorizing Rhymes in Nursery school.
Tbh I hate DSA the most
I mean what's the use of solving leetcode problem all day when you don't even know how to use that problem solving skill in development part This leetcode and DSA stuff always make me depressed in this field
DSA round ( Leetcode style ) is an excuse to reject candidates when there are too many in the pool.
Good coding/problem solving rounds check the candidate's ability to keep up with everyday work possibly with the knowledge of all the best practices.
If the problems asked in the interview are the ones being solved by the company/team as well, we'd have flying cars out by now.
bare minimum is necessary IMO, you should be comfortable walking a tree, Linkedlist stuff like that beyond that there ain’t much!
'System Design room ke ek kone me rote huye'
DSA is just a glorified filtering criteria. it has good precision and no one gives a flying fk about a good recall since there are too many candidates already.
it's a sad reality but still a reality nonetheless. so wash it off and get back to the LC grind... success is just a few medium problems away..
DSA round is just a redundant round or maybe an excuse to eliminate candidates. System Design, CN questions should be increased and endorsed. DSA is absolutely a bare minimum requirement in the SDE field. I mean if someone knows the basic of problem solving he can manage the job well with ChatGPT.
Simple . Its an aptitude and perseverance test. Early IT comps hired engineering grads on basis of this assumption. Now companies do the same to IITs
I just think we should skip DSA rounds for existing FAANG employees.
I understand the importance of DSA rounds and is pretty much required for SDE 1 roles as their major work is to code. But for higher levels, it starts becoming less an...
I am a 2YOE software engineer, and I wanted to make a switch. Having a grip on DSA but can't rely on it. I am seeing a good number of folks getting into start ups get paid well too. Can someone comment on startups that are paying well bu...

I'm not able to solve DSA Problems (Med - Hard). I have my placements in 6 months and while I have good Development Skills but my DSA Skills are lacking. Every time I try to solve a question I get stuck and copy the code from the discuss...
I was in manual testing for 2 years. Left my job. Joined scaler. Cleared some mock interviews (except DSA). I am in desperate need of a job in developer role(full or backend). I need to clear DSA and ReactJS mock interview in order to be...
